Countable Partially Exchangeable Mixtures

arXiv:1306.5631 · doi:10.1007/s10959-014-0573-9

Abstract

Partially exchangeable sequences representable as mixtures of Markov chains are completely specified by de Finetti's mixing measure. The paper characterizes, in terms of a subclass of hidden Markov models, the partially exchangeable sequences with mixing measure concentrated on a countable set, both for discrete valued and for Polish valued sequences.
