" Renewal Approach to Waiting Times for Exchangeable Events "

In this talk a limit theorem for a sequence of exchangeable events/random variables will be established by using Fubini's theorem for exchange of integrals in a crucial way. Applications to waiting times for exchangeable sequences will be elucidated. Finally a renewal approach to the analysis of waiting times will be discussed.
