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...

An insurance portfolio consists of two homogeneous groups of clients; N i, (i = 1 , 2) denotes the number of claims occurred in the ith group in a fixed time period. Assume that the r.v.'s N 1, N 2 are independent and have Poisson distributions, with expected values 200 and 300, respectively. The amount of an individual claim in the first group is a r.v. equal to either 10 or 20 with respective probabilities 0.3 and 0.7, while the...

1. Given β = XT 1×nAn×nXn×1, show that the gradient of β with respect to X has the following form: ∇β = X T (A + A T ). Also, simplify the above result when A is symmetric. (Hint: β can be written as Pn j=1 Pn i=1 aijxixj ). 2. In this problem, we consider a probabilistic view of linear regression y (i) = θ T x (i)+ (i) , i = 1, . . . , n, which...
