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.
In longitudinal studies each subject is observed at several di!erent times. Longitudinal studies are rarely balanced and complete due to occurrence of missing data. Little proposed pattern-mixture models for the analysis of incomplete multivariate normal data. Later, Little proposed an approach to m
Liang and Zeger proposed a generalized estimating equations approach to the analysis of longitudinal data. Their models assume that missing observations are missing completely at random in the sense of Rubin. However, when this assumption does not hold, their analysis may yield biased results. In th
