Finite forms of de finetti's theorem on exchangeability
Synthese 36 (2):271 - 281 (1977)
| Abstract | A geometrical interpretation of independence and exchangeability leads to understanding the failure of de Finetti's theorem for a finite exchangeable sequence. In particular an exchangeable sequence of length r which can be extended to an exchangeable sequence of length k is almost a mixture of independent experiments, the error going to zero like 1/k. | |||||||||
