For , the central limit theorem gives
If is differentiable at , the delta method applies to the first-order expansion
where the remainder notation means that its product with tends to zero in probability. Hence
The useful nondegenerate normal approximation requires . When , the first-order limit is zero and a higher-order expansion may be needed.
