Hey Eulerfan,Assuming the limiting distribution is non-degenerate, then we write , this is known as convergence in distribution. If the limiting distribution is degenerate, then we write (in general) or to indicate asymptotic convergence.
Quick question - notation wise, how do I express that approaches as n becomes large (not approaching infinity, so it's not 'equal'? Or can I say:
as n is large, approx. ~
Edit: sigma^2
