How to use the parameters estimated by MCMC?
This "answer" addresses the question implicitly, focusing on the predictive distribution.
We have:
\begin{equation}
p(y_i|\lambda_i) = \textsf{Poisson}(y_i|\lambda_i) ,
\end{equation}
where

Updating prior in MCMC with new estimates for parameters
As pointed out by @Xi'an in his comment, you want to use the full posterior distribution as the prior for your next analysis.
Option 1 involves somehow finding a way of summarizing the posterior you ...

influence of bayesian priors: rjags and categorical variables
If you set as a prior for the ID coefficients a uniform distribution between -5 and 5, this means that these coefficients are assumed to be in the interval $[-5,5]$, other values are impossible. These ...
