For two independent stage means X,Y∼N(δ,s2) and continuation X≥c, let S=(X+Y)/2 and v=s/2​. The second-stage mean is conditionally unbiased. The Rao-Blackwell theorem gives E(Y∣S,X≥c)=S−vλ((c−S)/v), using X∣S∼N(S,v2) and truncation. This is a conditionally unbiased estimator using both stages through their combined sample mean.
