  This work derives and analyzes an online learning strategy for tracking the
average of time-varying distributed signals by relying on randomized
coordinate-descent updates. During each iteration, each agent selects or
observes a random entry of the observation vector, and different agents may
select different entries of their observations before engaging in a
consultation step. Careful coordination of the interactions among agents is
necessary to avoid bias and ensure convergence. We provide a convergence
analysis for the proposed methods, and illustrate the results by means of
simulations.
