Abstract
We derive a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator for bivariate inter val censored data using standard techniques for constrained convex optimiza tion. Our approach extends those taken for univariate interval censored dat a. We illustrate the estimator with bivariate data from an AIDS study. Copy right (C) 1999 John Wiley & Son, Ltd.
