Traditional statistical methods are not equipped to handle the computational burden of repeatedly analysing the cumulatively growing dataset each time new data are collected. We propose a new estimation and inference framework for dynamic updating of point estimates and their standard errors along sequentially collected datasets with dependence, both within and between the datasets. The key technique is a decomposition of the extended inference function vector of the quadratic inference function constructed over the cumulative longitudinal data into a sum of summary statistics over data batches. We show how this sum can be recursively updated without the need to access the whole dataset, resulting in a computationally efficient streaming procedure with minimal loss of statistical efficiency. We prove consistency and asymptotic normality of our streaming estimator as the number of data batches diverges, even as the number of independent participants remains fixed. Simulations demonstrate the advantages of our approach over traditional statistical methods that assume independence between data batches. Finally, we investigate the relationship between physical activity and several diseases through analysis of accelerometry data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/biomet\/asad010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,16]],"date-time":"2023-02-16T22:16:38Z","timestamp":1676585798000},"page":"841-858","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Statistical inference for streamed longitudinal data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Lan","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Iowa Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, , 241 Schaeffer Hall, Iowa City, Iowa 52242, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingshen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California Division of Biostatistics, , Berkeley, 2121 Berkeley Way, Berkeley, California 94720, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily C","family":"Hector","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Carolina State University Department of Statistics, , 2311 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, U.S.A"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023111615233578700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"728","DOI":"10.1198\/jcgs.2011.09109","article-title":"Online EM algorithm for hidden Markov models","volume":"20","author":"Capp\u00e9,","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
