[R] Empirical Bayes Estimator for Poisson-Gamma Parameters

Dear Sir/Madam, I apologize for any cross-posting. I got a simple question, which I thought the R list may help me to find an answer. Suppose we have Y_1, Y_2, ., Y_n ~ Poisson (Lambda_i) and Lambda_i ~Gamma(alpha_i, beta_i). Empirical Bayes Estimator for hyper-parameters of the gamma distr, i
