Let be the standard normal quantile. Since is a consistent estimator, Slutsky's theorem gives
Its estimated standard error is , giving the approximate Wald confidence interval
For each fixed , this procedure's coverage probability tends to . Intersecting with the positive parameter space preserves coverage of the true positive value.
