On the de Finetti's representation theorem: an evergreen result at the foundation of Statistics

Abstract

This paper reconsider the fundamental de Finetti’s representation theorem. It is stressed its role at the front-line between Probability Theory and Inferential Statistics and its relation to the fundamental problem of relating past observations with future predictions i. e. the problem of induction.
