Question

Find a uniformly most powerful test 3. (8 points) For some $\lambda > 0$, suppose $X_1, X_2, ..., X_n$ is a random sample from a Poisson($\lambda$) population. Using a Gamma($\alpha$, $\beta$) prior distribution for $\lambda$, find the posterior distribution for $\lambda$. (Note : The Gamma density is given as : $f(y) = \frac{\beta^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)} y^{\alpha - 1} e^{-\beta y}$)

Find a uniformly most powerful test
3. (8 points) For some λ > 0, suppose X1, X2, ..., Xn is a random sample from a Poisson(λ) population.
Using a Gamma(α, β) prior distribution for λ, find the posterior distribution for λ.
(Note : The Gamma density is given as : f(y) = (β^α)/(Γ(α)) y^α - 1 e^-β y)

Find a uniformly most powerful test 3. (8 points) For some x > 0, suppose X1, X2,..., Xn is a random sample from a Poisson (1) population. Using a Gamma(a, β) prior distribution for A, find the posterior distribution for λ. (Note: The Gamma density is given as: f(y) = $$\frac{\beta^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)}y^{\alpha-1}e^{-\beta y}$$)
