For the hierarchical model Y |Λ ∼ Poisson(Λ) and Λ ∼ Gamma(α, β), find the marginal distribution, mean, and variance of Y . Show that the marginal distribution of Y is a negative binomial if α is an integer. (b) Show that the three-stage model Y|N∼Binomial(N,p), N|Λ∼Poisson(Λ), andΛ∼Gamma(α,β) leads to the same marginal distribution of Y .

The special case of the gamma distribution in which α is a positive integer n is called an Erlang distribution. If we replace β by 1 λ in the expression below, f(x; α, β) = 1 βαΓ(α) xα − 1e−x/β x ≥ 0 0 otherwise the Erlang pdf is as follows. f(x; λ, n) = λ(λx)n − 1e−λx (n − 1)! x ≥ 0 0 x < 0 It can be shown that if the times between successive events are...
