A Poisson mixture is one of the practically important models in computer science, biology, and sociology. However, the theoretical property has not been studied because the posterior distribution can not be approximated by any normal distribution. Such a model is called singular and it is known that Real Log Canonical Threshold (RLCT) is equal to the coefficient of the asymptotically main term of the Bayesian generalization error. In this paper, we derive RLCT of a simplex Vandermonde matrix type singularity which is equal to that of a Poisson mixture in general cases.
