Uniform-count predictive property

ID: uniform-count-predictive-property

A uniform prior distribution on the success chance makes the number of successes in any fixed number of Bernoulli trials uniform on , because . This is a statement about counts, not a uniform distribution over the ordered outcome sequences. It also makes predictions reversible between equally sized batches: their joint probability distribution is symmetric and their marginal count distributions are the same uniform distribution.
