Rao-Blackwellization is a notion often occurring in the MCMC literature, with possibly different meanings and connections with the original Rao–Blackwell theorem (Rao, 1945 and Blackwell,1947), including a reduction of the variance of the resulting Monte Carlo approximations. This survey reviews some of the meanings of the term.
