We derive a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator for bivariate interval censored data using standard techniques for constrained convex optimization. Our approach extends those taken for univariate interval censored data. We illustrate the estimator with bivariate data from an AIDS study.

As the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has increased in the United States, occupationally acquired TB has increased among the health care workers (HCWs). This paper describes a model developed in response to the needs of an outbreak of multidrug-resistant TB. One of the goals of the outbreak investig
I create a general model to perform score tests on interval censored data. Special cases of this model are the score tests of Finkelstein, Sun and Fay. Although Sun's was derived as a test for discrete data and Finkelstein's and Fay's tests were derived under a grouped continuous model, by writing a
