42 - Prior predictive distribution for Gamma prior to Poisson likelihood

[@Johnnyboycurtis]

If you derived the posterior from the last lecture, for a new predictive value, you would have p(x_new | lambda) p(lambda| x). This would use the posterior vs just a prior, which is generally what you want/need.

Hi, thanks for your comment - yes there are two ways to derive the posterior predictive density. Best, Ben

Thanks a lot！

[@shimaasadk9830]

thanks alot for this video it was very useful for me .
could you help me in other types of prior like reference prior and matching prior

[@jrippee05]

I could be wrong but that first term that you called the likelihood doesn't look like the likelihood.

[@biswaspankaj286]

that is not the likelihood you are correct
