The authors note an error in the statement of the double Poisson model in this manuscript. In the definition of log L_1, the term e\theta\mu should be exp(-\theta\mu). This error crept into the text during the process of compiling the final manuscript and was not spotted during production. The correct likelihood function was used in our analysis, and the results and conclusions of this paper are not affected by this error. Apologies for any inconvenience.
