2 How often do we see Poisson data? 1
3 2 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death
4 2 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death Specific problem: studying the asthma mortality rate
5 2 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death Specific problem: studying the asthma mortality rate (Why? Policy implications for pollution caps?)
6 2 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death Specific problem: studying the asthma mortality rate (Why? Policy implications for pollution caps?) Studying a single city with population 200,000
7 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death Specific problem: studying the asthma mortality rate (Why? Policy implications for pollution caps?) Studying a single city with population 200,000 Object (parameter) of interest: asthma mortality per 100,000
8 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death Specific problem: studying the asthma mortality rate (Why? Policy implications for pollution caps?) Studying a single city with population 200,000 Object (parameter) of interest: asthma mortality per 100,000 Observed data: 3 deaths in the city.
9 Poisson data example Problem of interest: understand different causes of death Specific problem: studying the asthma mortality rate (Why? Policy implications for pollution caps?) Studying a single city with population 200,000 Object (parameter) of interest: asthma mortality per 100,000 Observed data: 3 deaths in the city. Crude estimate: 1.5 deaths per 100,000.
10 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure.
11 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure. p(y θ, x) θ y exp( xθ) where θ is the rate and x is the exposure of a unit.
12 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure. p(y θ, x) θ y exp( xθ) where θ is the rate and x is the exposure of a unit. Commonly used in epidemiological studies
13 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure. p(y θ, x) θ y exp( xθ) where θ is the rate and x is the exposure of a unit. Commonly used in epidemiological studies Comes from an assumption of exchangeability among small intervals of exposure
14 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure. p(y θ, x) θ y exp( xθ) where θ is the rate and x is the exposure of a unit. Commonly used in epidemiological studies Comes from an assumption of exchangeability among small intervals of exposure y θ Poisson(2θ)
15 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure. p(y θ, x) θ y exp( xθ) where θ is the rate and x is the exposure of a unit. Commonly used in epidemiological studies Comes from an assumption of exchangeability among small intervals of exposure y θ Poisson(2θ) (Why? Parameter of interest is per 100,000 and the city has 200,000 people)
16 Poisson sampling model? Lets parametrize a Poisson distribution in terms of rate and exposure. p(y θ, x) θ y exp( xθ) where θ is the rate and x is the exposure of a unit. Commonly used in epidemiological studies Comes from an assumption of exchangeability among small intervals of exposure y θ Poisson(2θ) (Why? Parameter of interest is per 100,000 and the city has 200,000 people) y = 3, x = 2 and θ is unknown.
17 Priors Review asthma mortality rates around the world suggests 0.6 per 100,000 people in Western countries is typical.

24 5 Posterior We choose Gamma(3, 5) as our prior. We know this is a conjugate set up so... Posterior is given by Gamma(α + y, β + x)
25 5 Posterior We choose Gamma(3, 5) as our prior. We know this is a conjugate set up so... Posterior is given by Gamma(α + y, β + x) In this data example the posterior is Gamma(6, 7)
26 5 Posterior We choose Gamma(3, 5) as our prior. We know this is a conjugate set up so... Posterior is given by Gamma(α + y, β + x) In this data example the posterior is Gamma(6, 7) Posterior mean is 0.86, shrinking the data substantially towards the global mean.
