Suppose we observe iid data y₁,..., yn from Poisson distribution with parameter A. Let A have the Gamma(a, 3) distribution, the conjugate prior distribution for the Poisson likelihood, where a and 3 are known prior parameters. (a) Find the posterior distribution for A. Now, an ecologist counts the numbers of centipedes in each of n = 20 twenty one- metre-square quadrats. The numbers y₁,..., y20 are in the second column labelled as y in the dataset. (b) Let the last three digits of your ID number be ABC. Suppose we want the prior mean for A to be 5+ A and the prior standard deviation to be 5+ B. Find the prior distribution parameters that satisfy this. (c) Using the prior distribution from (b), find the posterior distribution for A. (d) Calculate the posterior median and a 95% credible interval for X. (e) Calculate the posterior median and a 95% credible interval for 0, where 0 = 1 - exp(-X).
