Geometric Factorization of Sufficient Harmonic Representations
Abstract
For tasks of likelihood families invariant under the action of a lie group, the quotient is the minimal sufficient invariant representation. On compact homogeneous spaces, this quotient representation admits a harmonic realization through spherical Fourier coefficients; for finite-band harmonic exponential families, the empirical harmonic coefficients are minimal sufficient statistics. The partition function can be expressed algebraically by extracting the trivial representation component through Clebsch-Gordan decomposition.
