Abstract: We derive essential elements of quantum mechanics from a parametric structure extending that of traditional mathematical statistics. The basic setting is a set $mathcalA$ of incompatible experiments, and a transformation group $G$ on the cartesian product $Pi$ of the parameter spaces of these experiments. The set of possible parameters is constrained to lie in a subspace of $Pi$, an orbit or a set of orbits of $G$. Each possible model is then connected to a parametric Hilbert space. The spaces of different experiments are linked unitarily, thus defining a common Hilbert space $mathbfH$. A state is equivalent to a question together with an answer: the choice of an experiment $ainmathcalA$ plus a value for the corresponding parameter. Finally, probabilities are introduced through Born's formula, which is derived from a recent version of Gleason's theorem. This then leads to the usual formalism of elementary quantum mechanics in important special cases. The theory is illustrated by the example of a quantum particle with spin.
