Abstract

The theorems of Pitman and Koopman on laws of chance that yield sufficient statistics are extended to laws where the parameter or the observable, or both, may admit only a discrete set of values. The method depends on making changes, not necessarily small, within the values permitted for the variables, but it is still necessary to assume a solubility condition.
