Let for the standard normal cumulative distribution function. Consistency of the maximum-likelihood estimator and Slutsky's theorem give the asymptotic standardization
Its probability of lying between and tends to . Solving those inequalities for the unknown parameter yields the Wald confidence interval
Thus the estimated standard error is . Its coverage is approximate and relies on the large-sample regularity assumptions.
