    The PT (progressively truncated) estimators of an unknown parameter \(\theta \in R^ 1\) which are defined as estimators based on the PT estimating functions are considered as a generalization of the PT maximum likelihood estimators. It is verified that PT estimating functions converge to a Gaussian process under the true parameter \(\theta_ 0\). The uniform consistency of PT estimators and their weak convergence to a Gaussian process are proved.
