Hi Degang,
I also met problem when I tried to derive equation (1.7) in the 2015 LD regression paper.
May I ask
1) To use the delta-method, I first need a sequence of random variables that satisfies asymptotic normal. But for the sample correlation between variant j and k, it is a number. Shall I regard different combination of j and k as Yn?
2) If the answer for 1) is Yes, how can I prove that the sequence is asymptotic normal?
3) if the g(theta) in (1.7) is theta squared, then the second order derivative will be 0, which doesn't satisfy the assumption that the second order derivative exists but not equals to 0.
Thank you for your reply in advance.
Best regards,
T
