Which is an exponential family with sufficient statistic .
For some parametric families, a complete sufficient statistic does not exist.
Also, a minimal sufficient statistic need not exist.
Under mild conditions, a minimal sufficient statistic does always exist.
Fisher required the existence of a sufficient statistic for the fiducial method to apply.
Suppose there is a single sufficient statistic for a single parameter.
The maximum, X, of the n observations is a sufficient statistic for ω.
This expression does not depend on and thus is a sufficient statistic.
A case in which there is no minimal sufficient statistic was shown by Bahadur, 1954.
However, under mild conditions, a minimal sufficient statistic does always exist.
