Conditions for X_{N_n} to converge stably (in particular, in distribution) are provided. Some examples, where such conditions work but those already existing fail, are given as well. %K Anscombe theorem, Exchangeability, Random indices, Random sums, Stable convergence %D 2012 %T AN ANSCOMBE-TYPE THEOREM %I IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca
