Conditional independence conjecture

Suppose there are four random variables (events), $A$, $B$, $C$ and $X$. If we have $X\perp A|B$, saying $X$ and $A$ are conditional independent given $B$, then I want to ask that whether we have $X\...

How to find conditional distribution for Rao-Blackwellizing an estimator?

Let's say I have an unbiased estimator $u(\underline x)$ for function $v(\theta)$ where $\theta$ is a parameter of the distribution of $x$, and $T(\underline x)$ which is a sufficient statistic for $\...
