Abstract

The main conclusion of this paper can be described as follows. Consider a statistical decision problem in which certain structural conditions are satisfied, and let T be a statistic on the sample space. Then the class of decision functions which depend on the sample point only through T is essentially complete if and only if T is a sufficient statistic. The structural conditions in question are satisfied in many estimation problems.
