Is the smooth transformation of an asymptotically efficient estimator still asymptotically efficient?
Refer to the lecture notes here (page 6 specifically) by Shao.
Assume certain regularity conditions imposed on the distribution parameterized by $\theta$, so that the information matrix $I(\theta)$ is ...

Convergence in probability with double limits
Maybe I found the solution in the following
Appendix on DOUBLE ASYMPTOTICS
See equation C.9
Therefore it is sufficient that $m/n$ (or $n/m$) converges to a constant to ensure the double asymptotic ...

Linear regression with one generated regressor
The claimed equation is not true. Or, $\sqrt{n}(\widehat{\beta}-\beta_0)$ and $\sqrt{n}(\widetilde{\beta}-\beta_0)$ is not asymptotically equivalent. To see it, note that
$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\...

How to calculate covariance matrix properly using Bartlett's formula
A few days more research and I finally found the answer. With large sample size ($n$) this equation gives a good aproximation to $C_{m\times m}$ (with $m < n$ as an arbitrary value). There is a ...

Do these two random variables have the same asymptotic distribution?
Assume that the $X_k$'s are jointly independent and identically distributed (with zero mean), so are the $W_k$'s (with mean equal to unity and variance equal to unity as are the premises), and they ...

Do these two random variables have the same asymptotic distribution?
In general, no.
For example, suppose $A_k$ are iid $N(0,1)$ and $B_k$ are also iid $N(0,1)$ and $X_{2k}=A_k+B_k$, $X_{2k+1}= A_k-B_k$. Then the $B_k$ all cancel and
$$\bar Y_{2k}= \frac{2}{\sqrt{2k}}\...

Is the MLE variance estimator for the normal distribution asymptotically normal?
I think I understand now what your concern is.
Let's take $X_i\stackrel{_\text{iid}}{\sim}N(\mu,\sigma^2),\,i=1,2,...,n$
The MLE of $\sigma^2$, $s_n^2$ is $\frac{n-1}{n}$ times the usual unbiased ...

Mixed Model in a repeated measurement design and AUC
Even with asymptotic normality among estimates of AUC* values, you might be better off using bootstrapping to estimate the precision and bias of your AUC estimates. Furthermore, depending on how you ...

Variance of sample moments - clarification on Serfling (1980)
Posting questions on CV has this magic effect many times: a little after you post them, you find the answer.
ANSWER: both expressions are correct, and the expression in Theorem B holds also for the ...

variance of an autoregressive process
"Then the sequence of partial sums $\{\sum_{r=1}^{a_n-1} c(kr)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is a subsequence of $\{\sum_{r=1}^{n-1} c(r)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$"---this statement is not correct.
Your final result ...
