Bruno de Finetti's concept of exchangeability and its associated mathematics form one of the cornerstones of subjectivist Bayesian inference, providing Bayesians with a good reason to take seriously the frequentist's model of independent observations from a common but unknown distribution. There are many ways of understanding and generalizing de Finetti's theorem. This chapter presents a brief survey of some of these generalizations and their applications.
