Statistics of photon detection in the eyeUsing the Poisson distribution, generate the curves in Figure $18.48(\mathrm{B})$
Step 1
The Poisson distribution is a probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last Show more…

Suppose that $X$ is a Poisson random variable with parameter $\lambda$. Let the prior distribution for $\lambda$, be a gamma distribution with parameters $m+1$ and $(m+1) / \lambda_{0}$. (a) Find the posterior distribution for $\lambda$. (b) Find the Bayes estimator for $\lambda$

Sampling Distributions and Point Estimation of Parameters
(a) Assuming (implausibly) that $\gamma$ is entirely attributable to radiation damping (Eq. 11.84 ), show that for optical dispersion the damping is "small" $\left(\gamma \ll \omega_{0}\right) .$ Assume that the relevant resonances lie in or near the optical frequency range. (b) Using your results from Prob. 9.24 , estimate the width of the anomalous dispersion region, for the model in Prob. 9.23.
