A set A ⊆ (ℕ → S) is an exchangeable (or permutable) event if it is
measurable and invariant under every finite permutation of the index set ℕ,
i.e. {x : x ∘ σ ∈ A} = A for every permutation σ that moves only finitely
many indices.
Instances For
An event E ⊆ Ω is exchangeable with respect to the sequence X : ℕ → Ω → S
if there is some exchangeable event A ⊆ (ℕ → S) such that E is the pullback of
A under ω ↦ (n ↦ X n ω). Equivalently, E belongs to the σ-field of exchangeable
events generated by X.
Instances For
An exchangeable event with respect to a measurable sequence X is itself
measurable in Ω.
Hewitt–Savage 0–1 law. If X_1, X_2, … is an i.i.d. sequence (independent
and identically distributed) and E is an exchangeable event (i.e. E ∈ ℰ, the
σ-field of permutable events) with respect to X, then μ E ∈ {0, 1}.
