Models for longitudinal measurements truncated by possibly informative dropout tend to be mathematically complex or computationally demanding. Diggle et al. (2007, JRSSC ) recently proposed an alternative using simple ideas from event-history analysis (where censoring is commonplace) to yield moment-based estimators for balanced, continuous longitudinal data. Here we show that their estimate may be derived as a limit of generalized estimating equations. We use this fact to extend their ideas to more general longitudinal contexts (unbalanced, categorical data, for example) while maintaining simplicity of understanding and implementation.
