Principles of Data Reduction
• Experimenters use the information in a
sample X1, …, Xn , denoted as X, to make
inferences about an unknown parameter q.
• Any statistic, T(X), defines a form of data
reduction or data summary.
• Data reduction in terms of a particular statistic
can be though of as a partition of the sample
space.
• Principles of data reduction:
– Sufficiency principle
– Likelihood principle

Sufficient Principle
• A sufficient statistic for a parameter q is a
statistic that, in a certain sense, captures all the
information about q contained in the sample.
• Definition: A statistic T(X) is a sufficient statistic for q
if the conditional distribution of the sample X given
the value of T(X) does not depend on q.
• Theorem: if p(x|q) is the joint pdf or pmf of X and
q(T(x)|q) is the pdf or pmf of T(X), then T(X) is a
sufficient statistic for q if, for every x in the sample
space, the ratio p(x|q)/q(T(x)|q) is a constant as
function of q.

Another Way to Identify Sufficient Statistic
Factorization Theorem: Let f(x|q) denote the joint pdf
or pmf of a sample X. A statistic T(X) is a sufficient
statistic for q if and only if there exist function
g(T(x)|q) and h(x) such that, for all sample points x
and all parameter point q ,
f(x|q) = g(T(x)|q)∙h(x)

rolling mill after a failure is of interest. The crew was observed
over 25 occasions, and the results were X = 26.42 minutes and

Summary of Sampling Distribution
• For random sample from any distribution,
standardized sample mean converges to N(0,1) as
n increases (CLT).
• In normal case, standardized statistic (minus
sample mean with S, instead of s, as the
denominator) follows Student’s t(n-1).
• Sum of n squared unit normal variates follows
Chi-squared (n)
• In the normal case, sample variance has scaled
Chi-squared distribution.
• In the normal case, ratio of sample variances
from two different samples divided by their
respective d.f. has F distribution.

Random Sample
• Definition: the random variables X1, X2, …, Xn are
called a random sample of size n from the population
f(x) if X1, X2, …, Xn are mutually independent random
variables and the marginal pdf or pmf of each Xi is the
same function f(x).
• Independently and identically distributed random
variables with pmf/pdf f(x) : iid sample
• Examples:
– Rolling a die n times
– Selecting 100 UA male students and measuring their heights.
• Note:
– sampling from a large population -> “nearly
independent”

Statistic
• Definition: let X1, X2, …, Xn be a random
sample of size n from the population f(x) and
let T(x1, x2, …, xn ) be a real-valued or vectorvalued function whose domain includes the
sample space of (X1, X2, …, Xn ). Then the
random variable or random vector
Y=T(x1, x2, …, xn ) is called a statistic.
• The probability distribution of a statistic Y is
called the sampling distribution of Y.

the arithmetic average of the values in a random
sample of size n.
• Sample Variance: denoted by Sn2, is a statistic
defined as:

denoted by lowercase letters. So, x , s2 and s denote
observed values of the RVs X, S2 , and S.

mean is
