Abstract

Kendall [2] gave a thorough discussion of De Finetti constants for a sequence (finite or infinite) of exchangeable events. Galambos [1] and Ridler-Rowe [3] also found some interesting results in this area. In this paper, we intend to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite sequence of exchangeable events to be extendable to an infinite sequence of exchangeable events.
