For independent samples uniform on [−θ,θ] with θ>0, the absolute maximum M is a minimal sufficient statistic, since the likelihood is (2θ)−n1{θ≥M}​. The pair of sample minimum and maximum is a sufficient statistic but is not minimal: simultaneous sign reversal preserves M and generally changes that pair.
