## Abstract Leftβcensored data often arise in environmental contexts with one or more detection limits, DLs. Estimators of the parameters are derived for leftβcensored data having two detection limits: DL~1~ and DL~2~ assuming an underlying normal distribution. Two different approaches for calculat
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.
