Delta Method for Asymptotic Variance of the Log Odds Ratio
Scenario
In quantitative trading and quantitative research, candidates are frequently evaluated on statistics modeling, specifically regarding Asymptotic Statistics / Delta Method.
Your Task
Let Xn∼n1Binomial(n,p) be the sample proportion of successes. By CLT, n(Xn−p)dN(0,p(1−p)).
(1) State the univariate Delta Method.
(2) Using the Delta Method, derive the asymptotic distribution of the sample log-odds g(Xn)=ln(1−XnXn).
Constraints
All variables are defined on a standard probability space (Ω,F,P).
Analytical expressions must be in closed form, and empirical simulations should converge within standard statistical tolerances.
