Conditional Independence in Statistics

The theory of conditional independence is explained and the relations between anaillaritry, sufficiency, and statistical independence are discussed in depth. Some related concepts like specific sufficiency, bounded completeness, and splitting sets are also studied in some details by using the language of conditional independence.
