A statistic taking constant values on orbits generated by a group of one-to-one measurable transformations of the sample space. Thus, if is the sample space, is a group of one-to-one -measurable transformations of onto itself and is an invariant statistic, then for all and . Invariant statistics play an important role in the construction of invariant tests (cf. Invariant test; Invariance of a statistical procedure).
