In probabilitytheory, de Finetti's theorem explains why exchangeable observations areconditionally independent given some latent variable to which anepistemic probability distribution would then be assigned. It is namedin honor of Bruno de Finetti. It states that an exchangeable sequence ofBernoulli random variables is a 'mixture' of independent and identicallydistributed Bernoulli random variables - while the individual variablesof the exchangeable sequence are not themselves i.i.d., onlyexchangeable, there is an underlying family of i.i.d. random variables.…
