Publication Abstract: We propose an analysis method for the leading-twist operator product expansion based lattice QCD determinations of the valence parton distribution function (PDF). In the first step, we determine the confidence-intervals of the leading-twist MS-bar Wilson coefficients, $C_n(\mu^2 z^2)$, of the equal-time bilocal quark bilinear, given the lattice QCD matrix element of Ioffe-time distribution for a particular hadron {\sl H} as well as the prior knowledge of the valence PDF, $f(x,\mu)$ of the hadron {\sl H} determined via global fit from the experimental data. In the next step, we apply the numerically estimated $C_n$ in the lattice QCD determinations of the valence PDFs of other hadrons, and for the zero-skewness generalized parton distribution (GPD) of the same hadron {\sl H} at non-zero momentum transfers. Our proposal still assumes the dominance of leading-twist terms, but it offers a pragmatic alternative to the usage of perturbative Wilson coefficients and their associated higher-loop uncertainties such as the effect of all-order logarithms at larger sub-fermi quark-antiquark separations $z$.
