asymptotic normality of the sample moments: by<br />

the CLT,<br />

√ (1 − 1 ··· − ) 0 → (0 Σ) <br />

where = h i = + − . In<br />

this example<br />

= (1− )<br />

h 2i = +(1− )(1 + 2 )=1+(1− ) 2 <br />

2 = h 2i − 2 =1+(1 − )2 <br />

Solv<strong>in</strong>g for gives<br />

=<br />

2 − 1<br />

2 + 2 − 1 = 2 + 2 − 1<br />

<br />

and so<br />

˜ =<br />

2 − 1<br />

¯ 2 + 2 − 1 ˜ = ¯ 2 + 2 − 1<br />

<br />

¯<br />

Although ˜ may not be <strong>in</strong> (0 1), it is with probability<br />

→ 1. To see this let be such that <br />

1 − . Then<br />

(0 ˜ 1) ≥ (|˜ − | ≤ ) → 1
