Abstract. This paper investigates several alternative methods of constructing confidence interval
estimates based on the bootstrap and jackknife techniques for the generalized exponential distribution
with interval-censored and fixed covariates. Simulation studies were conducted to compare the
bootstrap techniques, which includes bootstrap-t, bootstrap-percentile, and BCa confidence interval
estimation methods, with the jackknife confidence interval estimation methods using coverage
probability. The results indicate that the bootstrap technique works better than the jackknife techniques
when dealing with interval-censored data with fixed covariates.

Keywords: Bootstrap, Jackknife, Interval-censoring, Fixed covariate, Coverage probability study
