The augmented likelihood in Equation (6.6) can be regraded as the com-
plete data likelihood, with all z il s and w il s being missing data. This likelihood
is simply a product of Poisson probability mass functions and forms the basis
of the following Gibbs sampler below.
1. Sample all zi, i , z il , w i , and w il .
Let z i = 0 and w i = 0 for all i, and zi il = 0 and w il = 0 for all i and l.
If i1 = 1, then sample
z i Pf(R i ) exp(x 0 i )g1 (z i >0) ;
(z i1 ; ;z ik ) M(z i ;p i ); p i /f 1 b 1 (R i );:::; k b k (R i )g;
where M denotes a multinomial distribution. If i2 = 1, then sample
w i P[f(R i ) (L i )gexp(x 0 i )]1 (w i >0) ;
(w i1 ; ;w ik ) M(w i ; q i );
q i / [ 1 fb 1 (R i ) b 1 (L i )g;:::; k fb k (R i ) b k (L i )g]:
2. Sample j from its full conditional distribution, [ j j] / ( j )h(), using
the adaptive rejection sampling (ARS) method (Gilks and Wild, 1992)
for j = 1;:::;p. The full conditional distribution of j is log-concave
as long as its prior ( j ) is log-concave. Up to an additive constant
logfh()g is equal to
h
x 0 i (z i i1 + w i i2 ) exp (x 0 i )f(R i )( i1 + i2 ) + (L i ) i3 g i

3. For l = 1;:::;k, sample l from Gamma distribution G(aγl l ;b l ), where

a l =
fz il i1 1 (b l (R i )>0) + w il i2 1 (b l (R i )b l (L i )>0) g;

4. Sample from G(a + k; b + P l l ).
