Keywords:
extendibility; partial exchangeability; de Finetti's theorem
Summary:
We generalize well known results about the extendibility of finite exchangeable sequences and provide necessary conditions for finite and infinite extendibility of a finite row-column exchangeable array. These conditions depend in a simple way on the correlation matrix of the array.
