Abstract
This chapter is a review of basic ideas from Kingman’s theory of exchangeable random partitions [253], as further developed in [14, 347, 350]. This theory turns out to be of interest in a number of contexts, for instance in the study of population genetics, Bayesian statistics, and models for processes of coagulation and fragmentation. The chapter is arranged as follows.
