Summary We approximate the limit process for a multivariate censored survival distribution using the bootstrap. The empirical process has a complicated covariance structure depending on the survival and censoring. The bootstrapped process provides a means to develop distribution‐free procedures including simultaneous confidence bands. Results extend to comparison of multivariate survival distributions. A gallstone study is examined in some detail.
