Interval-censored failure time data often occur, for example, in clinical trials or longitudinal studies. For the regression analysis of such data, there have been a number of methods proposed based on continuous regression models such as Cox's proportional hazards model. In practice, however, obser
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.
