Complete Statistic:

A sufficient statistic T is called a complete statistic if no function of it has zero expected value for all distributions concerned unless this function itself is zero for all possible distributions concerned (except possibly a set of measure zero).

The property of completeness of a statistic guarantees uniqueness of certain statistical procedures based this statistic.
