Re: st: GEE

[Roger Harbord <roger.harbord@bristol.ac.uk>]

Here's a couple of references comparing GEE and other approaches to 
repeated measurements. One relating to binary outcomes:

Hu FB, Goldberg J, Hedeker D, Flay BR, Pentz MA.  Comparison of 
population-averaged and subject-specific approaches for analyzing repeated 
binary outcomes.  Am.J.Epidemiol. 1998;147:694-703. 
<http://aje.oupjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/147/7/694>

And another on continuous outcomes:

Omar RZ, Wright EM, Turner RM, Thompson SG.  Analysing repeated 
measurements data: a practical comparison of methods.  Stat Med 
1999;18:1587-1603. 
<http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/62004088/ABSTRACT>


There's also a brief overview of GEE in general on p366-370 of:

Kirkwood BR, Sterne JAC. Essential Medical Statistics. Oxford: Blackwell, 
2003.
