I need some help to understand how to utilize sufficient statistic from a data.
Suppose I observe some random process that produces $x\in X$, where all elements have a gamma distribution. As far as I understand, a sufficient statistic for $X$ is $(\log(x), x)$ or $(E[\log(X)], E[X])$ if I'm going to update my knowledge of the observed values.
However, I don't understand how to get the parameterization $(a, b)$ of the underlying gamma distribution if I know sufficient statistics. With the normal distribution and some discrete ones it’s more or less clear, but here I’m stuck.
