Abstract
It is easy to notice that no sequence of estimators of the probability of success $\theta$ in a Bernoulli scheme can converge (when standardized) to $N(0,1)$ uniformly in $\theta\in ]0,1[$. We show that the uniform asymptotic normality can be achieved if we allow the sample size, that is, the number of Bernoulli trials, to be chosen sequentially.
