Formal construction of some exchangeable structures

Zusammenfassung:We show that exchangeable structures such as Polya urn model and Chinese restaurant process can be constructed from sets with a real number of elements. From this construction, the exchangeability of these structures becomes obvious and the calculations on them become extremely simple. Moreover, the usual calculations on these structures, which involve induction, integrals and Jacobian determinants, now can be done by simple combinatorial calculations.
