1—In a previous paper, dealing with the importance of properties of sufficiency in the statistical theory of small samples, attention was mainly confined to the theory of estimation. In the present paper the structure of small sample tests, whether these are related to problems of estimation and fiducial distributions, or are of the nature of tests of goodness of fit, is considered further. The notationa|bimplies as before that the variateais conditioned by a given value ofb. The fixed variatebmay be denoted by |b, and analogously ifbis clear from the context,a|bmay be written simply asa|. Corresponding to the idea of ancillary information introduced by Fisher for the case of a single unknownθ, where auxiliary statistics control the accuracy of our estimate, I have termed a conditional statistic of the formT|, quasi-sufficient, if its distribution satisfies the “sufficiency” property and contains all the information onθ. In the more general case of other unknowns, such a statistic may contain all theavailableinformation onθ.
