Abstract

Brillinger [2] gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a model to be invariant under a Lie group of transformations. The problems that can be handled by his conditions are surveyed, and found effectively to be restricted to one-dimensional problems amendable to Lindley's [8] method and to problems connected with conflicts between Bayes' and fiducial theory. The problem of finding the general model invariant under a given group is proposed. Brillinger's theorem produces differential equations for the model. A general solution can be obtained by direct methods.
