Posterior Predictive Distribution
Posterior Predictive Distribution I Recall that for a fixed value of θ, our data X follow the distribution p(X|θ). I However, the true value of θ is uncertain, so we should average over the possible values of θ to get a better idea of the distribution of X. I Before taking the sample, the uncertainty in θ is represented by the prior distribution p(θ).

www.stat.purdue.eduPoisson Approximation for the Binomial Distribution • For Binomial Distribution with large n, calculating the mass function is pretty nasty • So for those nasty “large” Binomials (n ≥100) and for small π (usually ≤0.01), we can use a Poisson with λ = nπ (≤20) to approximate it!
