The Rao-Blackwell theorem is a fundamental theorem in statistics that offers a powerful method for improving estimators by conditioning on sufficient statistics. It is named after two statisticians, C.R. Rao and David Blackwell, who independently discovered it. The theorem is relevant in many areas of statistics, including machine learning algorithms and data analysis techniques. It can be used to improve estimators for a variety of metrics, such as the mutual information, which is a common objective in representation learning, self-supervised learning, active learning & experiment design .
