+   You must own the statistics object to use <command>ALTER STATISTICS</command>.
+   To change a statistics object's schema, you must also
+   have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on the new schema.
+   To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
+   owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
+   the statistics object's schema.  (These restrictions enforce that altering
+   the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating
+   the statistics object.  However, a superuser can alter ownership of any
+   statistics object anyway.)
