If you already estimate the empirical cumulative distribution function,
or equivalently the empirical survival function,
then
The asymptotic approximate standard error of the estimate is available
(at least for the common Kaplan-Meier case)
But if you have only interval censored data, without any observed failures,
traditionally you do not have a unique maximum likelihood nonparametric
estimates. You may search for the Turnbull's interval/algorithm as well.
(I am not an expert in survival analysis)
