Decomposition of Random Sequences into Mixtures of Simpler Ones and Its Application in Network Analysis

A classic and fundamental result about the decomposition of random sequences into a mixture of simpler ones is de Finetti’s Theorem. In its original form, it applies to infinite 0–1 valued sequences with the special property that the distribution is invariant to permutations (called an exchangeable...
