An estimator proposed by Greenland and Holland (1991, Biometrics 47, 319-322) for a standardized risk difference parameter is shown to be a maximum likelihood estimator if the consistent estimator of the common odds ratio is appropriately chosen. The statistical problem under consideration is reparameterized. Likelihood equations are derived.
