The Poisson distribution is to a gamma distribution what the
Binomial distribution is to a ___?___ distribution.
...
I'm disappointed nobody gave this a shot.
The answer is the *beta* distribution.
Now with this extra hint of this answer, can anyone explain what the
relationship is between the Poisson distribution and the associated
gamma distribution, what the corresponding relationship is between the
Binomial distribution and the associated beta distribution, and what
the relationship is between the Poisson/gamma pair and the Binomial/beta
pair?
