In this paper, we prove that the simulation method for
interval-censored data proposed by Fay (1999) is consistent in the
sense that if we select a sample, then the estimate obtained from
Turnbulls (1974) EM algorithm will converge to the
true parameter when the sample size tends to infinity. We also
propose a non-parametric rank test for interval-censored data to
determine whether two populations come from the same distribution.
Simulation result shows that the proposed
test statistics performs pretty satisfactory.
