When the Sum is a Minimal Sufficient Statistics for the Parameter of a Discrete Distribution with Finite Values?

  • We prove three theorems for iid discrete randomvariables taking two values, three values, and k (3\leq k<\infty) valuesby using the technique of indicator function. Under some specifications of the probabilities, we prove that the sum is a minimal sufficient statistics for the unknown parameter of interest of the discrete random variable taking two values, three values, and k (3\leq k<\infty) values. For the dice example, a figure shows that the specifications of the six probabilities are between 0 and 1 and sum to 1, and a fair dice is possible.
