Abstract
A test procedure based on a Kendall's τ statistic is proposed for the association of bivariate interval censored data. In particular, a leverage bootstrap technique is applied to replace unknown failure times and a classical adjustment method is applied for treating tied observations. The suggested method shows desirable results in simulation studies. An AIDS dataset is analyzed with the suggested method.
