Abstract
Let denote the number of distinct values among the first terms of an infinite exchangeable sequence of random variables . We prove for that the extreme points of the convex set of all possible laws of are those derived from i.i.d. sampling from discrete uniform distributions and the limit case with , and offer a conjecture for larger . We also consider variants of the problem for finite exchangeable sequences and exchangeable random partitions.
