yes, in your example. But your example is unusual, I think. We often have EHR like never/ex/current and research data in pack-years and there isn't a function mapping distinct EHR categories to non-overlapping intervals in pack years.

            -and is a really bad mathematical meme that has had a surprising comeback. It should have died out some time ago, because "multiplicand" and such are so unhelpful to everyone. My only concern really is that overdoing it will devalue the vitally important "estimand".

            This book fills a gap, making Bayesian meta-analysis accessible to researchers across disciplines. 
It introduces seven software options:
BUGS
JAGS
Stan
Stata
JASP
bayesmeta
brms
...so that you can decide which one is right for your work.
