Sufficient statistics and minimum variance estimates

Let the probability density of observations be denoted by φ( x | θ), where x stands for the variables and θ for the parameters. A function t of the observations is called an unbiased estimate of the function ψ(θ) of the parameters if where dx stands for the product of differentials.
