Exercise

Clicks per day instead of clicks per ad

When you put up a banner on your friend's site you got 19 clicks in a day, how many daily clicks should you expect this banner to generate on average? Now, modify your model, one piece at a time, to calculate this.

To the right is the old code for the binomial Bayesian model. To accommodate the new banner data you're now going to change the model so that it uses a Poisson distribution instead.

  • Start by replacing the prior distribution over proportion_clicks by a prior over mean_clicks. Make the prior a uniform (runif) distribution from 0 to 80 clicks per day.
