Extreme Point Models in Statistics [with Discussion and Reply]

We give a survey of the general theory of extreme point models in statistics, i.e. statistical models that are given as the extreme points of the convex set of probability measures satisfying (in a general sense) a symmetry condition. Special emphasis is payed to examples, some of which are only partially solved, some are classical and some are recent.
