On Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Interval Censoring and Left Truncation

A graph theoretical approach is employed to describe the support set of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for the cumulative distribution function given interval-censored and left-truncated data. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a nonparametric maximum likelihoo...
