- Now,
are directly of form suitable to apply central
limit theorem.
- Thus, they are sums over independent random variables
taken from same distribution.
- So again
only has standard deviation term and is
.
- Similarly
is 
and dominates.
- It follows
that exactly same methods can be applied to
and maximum
likelihood fits.
- In the future we will only mention the former.
