“…The natural conjugate family of priors for the "two Poisson samples" model is formed by the independent products of Gamma distributions on μ and λ. This family contains the Jeffreys prior which is the case when μ ∼ G( 1 2 , 0) and λ ∼ G( 1 2 , 0), and, as noticed by Laurent and Legrand (2011), the Jeffreys prior and the φ-reference prior yield the same posterior on φ, but do not yield the same posterior predictive distributions. We note however that these posterior predictive distributions are close, because of (τ, t) Bailey(a, c, d, 1) ≈ τ PG(c, 1) ⊗ t PG(d, 1) when a ≈ c + d,…”
