For fixed , the vector converges in distribution to , where is a standard Brownian bridge. To prove it, write the vector as times the sum of independent centred bounded indicator vectors. Their covariance matrix is . The multivariate central limit theorem gives a centred multivariate normal distribution with this covariance, exactly the bridge vector. Singular covariance matrices, including endpoint times or repeated values of , cause no problem. This is a finite-dimensional assertion; a full function-space limit additionally requires tightness.
