Introduce , where means that the observation came from the structural-zero component. Conditional on the parameters,
Given , the nonstructural observations are independent Poisson variables. Using shape-rate parameterization and the stated unit-rate priors, the remaining Gibbs updates are
Alternating these four standard-distribution updates defines the requested Gibbs sampler for the Zero-inflated Poisson distribution posterior.
