If $X$ is a complete estimator, then a linear transformation of $X$ is a complete estimator?

35 Views Asked by At

I've searched online and it seem to be true, although I've seen no proof of it.

I'm trying to apply it to this case:

I've reached (in a particular example) that $\sum_n X_i$ is a complete estimator of $\theta$. Now I want to argument that $\frac{1}{n}\sum_n X_i$ (the mean) is also complete, but I can't derive it from the following definition of complete:

"$T$ is complete for $\theta$ if $E(g(T))=0$ implies $g(T)=0$ almost surely"

If $T$ is a complete statistic, then $S=f(T)$, where $f$ is any measurable function, is complete. Indeed, take any measurable $g$. Then $$ \mathsf{E}_{\theta}g(S)=\mathsf{E}_{\theta}(g\circ f)(T)=0\text{ for each }\theta $$ implies that $\mathsf{P}_{\theta}(g(S)=0)=\mathsf{P}_{\theta}((g\circ f)(T)=0)=1$ for every $\theta$.
