Comparison of two or more failure time distributions based on interval-censored data is tested by extension of log-rank test proposed by Sun (1996, 2001, 2004). Furthermore, Chang (2004) verified that the proposed test statistics are approximately chi-cquare with degrees of freedom p-1 after constants factor adjustment which can be obtained from simulations. In this paper we approach in a different way to estimate the adjustment factor of a given interval-censored data by applying the bootstrap technique to the test statistics. Simulation results indicate that the bootstrap technique performs well on those test statistics except the one proposed in 1996. By using chi-square goodness of fit test, we found that Sun's test in 1996 is significantly far from any chi-square.
