[image] Random Poisson variable is a negative but must be nonnegative! Note that this marginalization works only because each sampled poisson variate is only used once in the binomial likelihood. In cases where a Poisson sample serves as the number of counts in multiple binomial samples (e.g. in…

N-mixture likelihoods

I’m more curious about re-using discrete parameters with Poisson priors multiple times in a likelihood in general.

Thanks
