1. Introduction Let X ¼ ð X k ð n Þ Þ n 2 N * ; 1  k  n be a triangular array of exchangeable continuous random variables. That is, for any n 2 N *, we assume that the distribution of the random vector X ( n ) = ( X k ( n ) ) k = 1, . . . , n is invariant under any permutation of the indexes {1, 2, . . . , n }. In the particular case of a sequence of exchangeable random variables, that is when X j ( n ) = X j for any n 2 N * and j 2 1, 2, . . . , n , de Fi ( ne ) t ( ti n ’s 2 th N e * o ) : re In m de ( e A d ldous,1983)givesa representation formula for the distribution of X n , it is well known that in this case the distribution of X ( n ) is that of a mixture of vectors of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) variables. In the whole paper we assume that, for n 2 N * 0 and j , j 0 2 {1,  , n }, j m j , X j ( n ) m X j ( 0 n ) (a.s.). Following Resnick (1987) we define, for
