Consider the Wald test for H0:θ=θ0H_0: \theta = \theta_0. If θ^\hat{\theta} is the MLE with variance Var(θ^)[I(θ^)]1Var(\hat{\theta}) \approx [I(\hat{\theta})]^{-1}, the Wald statistic is W=(θ^θ0)2Var(θ^)W = \frac{(\hat{\theta} - \theta_0)^2}{Var(\hat{\theta})}. What is its asymptotic distribution under H0H_0?
