This paper introduces an observation-driven (OD) longitudinal integer-valued moving average model of order 1 (INMA(1)) with COM–Poisson innovations under non-stationary moment conditions. This new longitudinal model provides lot of practical flexibility in terms of modeling a wide range of over-, under-dispersion and any mixed level of dispersion. In this set-up, the model parameters of primary interest consist of the regression and dispersion effects while the serial autocorrelation parameters are treated as nuisance. A robust Generalized Quasi-Likelihood approach is formulated to estimate the different set of parameters. The performance of the estimating algorithm is assessed via Monte Carlo experiments under various combination of the serial and dispersion values and is compared with the existing adaptive generalized method of moments. Application to two medical data: epileptic seizures and polyposis counts are also illustrated.
