Simple models for informatively censored longitudinal data
Models for longitudinal measurements truncated by possibly informative
dropout have tended to be either mathematically complex or
computationally demanding. I will review a recently proposed
alternative, using simple ideas from event-history analysis (where
censoring is commonplace) to yield moment-based estimators for balanced,
continuous longitudinal data. I shall then discuss some work in
progress: extending these ideas to more general longitudinal data, while
maintaining simplicity of understanding and implementation.
