Compare independent Poisson means with one shared mean under proper shape-rate gamma distribution priors. Adding the second mean as an inactive parameter under the shared-mean model gives a simple identity model switch. With equal model priors and identical active/inactive priors, its ratio from separate to shared means is eγ2​−γ1​(γ1​/γ2​)x2​. Poisson-gamma conjugacy supplies exact within-model updates, and integrating the gamma kernels supplies an independent Bayes factor benchmark.
