Hypergeometric allocation of exchangeable Bernoulli counts

ID: hypergeometric-allocation-of-exchangeable-bernoulli-counts

Conditional on the pooled number of successes in exchangeable random variables that are binary, all placements of those successes are equally likely under a common success-chance mixture. The count in a chosen batch of size therefore has a hypergeometric distribution, with mass . Under the uniform-count predictive property, is uniform on . Dividing the joint pooled-and-batch probability by the first batch's uniform marginal gives the posterior predictive distribution, with factor . Substituting in the hypergeometric expression does not give a single normalized hypergeometric mass as varies, since its population success total then varies too.
