We compute the temperature, voltage, and magnetic field dependences of the resistance oscillations of a model interferometer designed to measure the fractional statistics of the quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect. The geometry is the same as that used in recent experiments reported in Refs. \cite{camino-prl,camino-T,zhou}. With appropriate assumptions concerning the relative areas of the inner and outer rings of the interferometer, we find theoretical results, including the existence of periodic Aharonov-Bohm oscillations with periods {\it larger} than the fundamental quantum of flux, which are in remarkably good agreement with experiment. It is then possible to make additional experimental predictions with no adjustable parameters which, if verified, would confirm the proposed interpretation of the experiment as a measurement of fractional statistics.
