Data yi, i = 1, . . . , n arise from a Poisson distribution with rate parameter λ.

  1. (a) Write down the likelihood for the model, up to the constant of proportionality.

  2. (b) A Gamma distribution is proposed as the prior. How can we use such a prior to include our belief that λ is 10±1 i.e. mean 10 and standard deviation 1?

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...
