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.
The latency time of an infectious disease is de"ned as the time from infection to disease onset. This paper applies the proportional hazards model to estimate the e!ect of covariates on latency when the time of disease onset is exact or right-censored but the time of infection is interval-censored.
