Abstract

A random measure ξ on [0,1]2, [0, 1]}ℝ+ or ℝ 2+ is said to be separately exchangeable, if its distribution is invariant under arbitrary Lebesgue measure-preserving transformations in the two coordinates, and jointly exchangeable if ξ is defined on [0,1]2 or ℝ 2+ , and its distribution is invariant under mappings by a common measure-preserving transformation in both directions. In each case, we derive a general representation of ξ in terms of independent Poisson processes and i.i.d. random variables.
