Let X be a sample obtained using the stratified simple random sampling plan described previously.
(i) For each h, let Zh be the vector of the ordered values of the sample in stratum h. Then (Z1, ..., ZH) is sufficient and complete for θ ∈ Θ.
(ii) For any estimable function of θ, its unique UMVUE is the unbiased estimator g(X) that is symmetric in its first n1arguments, symmetric in its second n2 arguments,..., and symmetric in its last nH arguments.
