Some approximation results for Bayesian Posteriors that involve the Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta distribution

Consider the generalized Poisson and the negative binomial model with mean parameter equal to kb, where k >= 0 is a count parameter and 0 < b < 1 is a hyper parameter. We show that conditioning on counts from both models and assuming a uniform prior fork lead to the following Bayesian poste...
