j
For each auxiliary count x, the correctly normalized joint expression above is symmetric in pM​,pT​. Summing it over x=0,…,n preserves that symmetry, so these are exchangeable random variables. Their marginal distributions are therefore identical. Since pM​ was generated from a Beta distribution,
pT​∼Beta(α,β).​
(1)
The Beta-binomial exchangeable coupling changes the dependence, while leaving both prior distributions unchanged.
