Delta method confusion

I am supposed to use the delta method to find the limiting distribution for $$\sqrt{n}\left(\frac{\overline{X}_n}{1-\overline{X}_n} - \frac{E(X)}{1-E(X)}\right)$$ where $f(x, \theta)=\theta x^{\theta-1 … I'm utterly lost on how to do this, as this doesn't line up with how he briefly explained the Delta method in class. …

Delta method vs actual expectation

.$$ I am trying to figure out where the "Delta method" is wrong here: If $(x-\mu) \sim N(0,\sigma^2)$, then $$(f(x)-f(\mu)) \sim N(0,\sigma^2 f'(\mu)^2).$$ The Delta method using $f(x) = e^x$ will imply …

Standard errors with delta method

Under the table there's a small note that SE were calculated via "delta method". … Ideally both, "on paper" and in R using the "delta method". So far I have tried alr3 package and its deltaMethod() function. I tend get to the right estimate but the SE is 0.00000. …

Proving the delta method

I am interested in proving the delta method, where we show that $$\sqrt{n}(g(Y_n) - g(\theta)) \overset{\text{Dist}}{\to} \text{N}(0, \sigma^2 g'(\theta)^2).$$ We use Taylor expansion where $$g(Y_n) …

Delta Method vs. Lognormal

On the other hand, by the Delta method we know $$ \sqrt{n}(\hat{\theta}_n - \theta) \xrightarrow d \mathcal{N}\left(0, \frac{\theta^2}{F}\right), $$ and so for large $n$ we can alternatively estimate the … \end{align*} I feel uneasy about this because it seems the lognormal is more natural in this case because $\theta > 0$, but then again the Delta method seems correct, too. …
