RE: Bayesian estimation

Definitely, the way described below is correct, but in the particular situation it may be sufficient to either 1. Fix population parameters to the values obtained for Pop1, and do POSTHOC for P2. or 2. Combine Pop1 and Pop2, and re-estimate population and individual parameters. If populations differ (and it can be observed if residuals or individual estimates differ between POP1 and Pop2), one can add STUDY covariate and try to account for the difference by allowing some population parameters differ between populations.
