Seminario di Flavia Barsotti presso Prometeia - Bologna
by Giacomo Scandolo 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Il giorno Giovedì 2 Luglio 2015, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna Flavia BARSOTTI Risk Methodologies, Group Financial Risk, Group Risk Management, UniCredit S.p.A. terrà un seminario dal titolo "Credit risk evaluation: performance and determinants of structural modeling approach" Abstract Structural credit risk models are known to be the natural mathematical framework providing a theoretical link between a firm’s default probability and the underlying firm’s specific structural variables. In this spirit, this talk discusses the ability of structural credit risk modeling in measuring the sensitivity of corporate bond returns to changes in equity value, representing a key element for hedging purposes in risk management activity. The analysis is conducted by considering as starting point the classical Merton model. Extensions of this setting are proposed by relaxing the assumption of Lognormal distribution for the underlying assets value dynamics. The talk discusses the performance of structural models across different rating classes and analyzes which are the key determinants (both credit and non-credit related variables) affecting the performance. --- Questa e-mail è priva di virus e malware perché è attiva la protezione avast!

Seminar Prof. Jorge Zubelli in Padova
by Giorgia Callegaro 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Dear all, next week, the 3rd July 2015, Prof. Jorge Zubelli (IMPA, Rio De Janeiro) will give a seminar on Real Options (Mathematics/Probability applied to Finance) from 12am to 13 am, in room 2BC30 at "Torre Archimede" (Dep. of Mathematics, University of Padova). More details, i.e., the title and abstract follow: Title: "Project evaluation and Real Option Analysis: A Hedged Monte Carlo Approach" Abstract: Industrial strategic decisions have evolved tremendously in the last decades towards a higher degree of quantitative analysis. Such decisions require taking into account a large number of uncertain variables and volatile scenarios, much like financial market investments. Furthermore, they can be evaluated by comparing portfolios of investments in financial assets such as in stocks, derivatives and commodity futures. This revolution led to the development of a new field of managerial science known as Real Options. The use of Real Option techniques incorporates also the value of flexibility and gives a broader view of many business decisions that brings in techniques from quantitative finance and risk management. Such techniques are now part of the decision making process of many corporations and require a substantial amount of mathematical background. Yet, there has been substantial debate concerning the use of risk neutral pricing and hedging arguments to the context of project evaluation. We discuss some alternatives to risk neutral pricing that could be suitable to evaluation of projects in a realistic context with special attention to projects dependent on commodities and non-hedgeable uncertainties. More precisely, we make use of a variant of the hedged Monte-Carlo method of Potters, Bouchaud and Sestovic to tackle strategic decisions. Thanks for the attention and have a nice day, Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Seminario Dottor Enrico Moretto all'IMATI
by Antonella Bodini 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Si comunica che il giorno 2 luglio alle ore 10.30, presso la sala A della sede di Milano dell'IMATI, Via E. Bassini 15, il Dottor Enrico Moretto, dell'Universita' dell'Insubria, terra' il seminario dal titolo *Alcune applicazioni finanziarie dello stochastic dividend discount model.* Abstract: lo /stochastic dividend discount model/ (SDDM) (Hurley e Johnson, 1994 e 1998) ha esteso in un contesto aleatorio la classica formula di Gordon che determina il prezzo di un'azione attualizzando i futuri dividendi pagati dalla società agli azionisti. Il modello ipotizza che i dividendi si evolvano in tempo discreto in maniera stocastica, pilotati da un tasso di crescita aleatorio. I contributi di ricerca che saranno presentati rappresentano il tentativo di applicare lo SDDM ad alcuni problemi ben noti in finanza, quali la teoria di selezione del portafoglio e l'analisi delle fusioni tra società. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Antonella Bodini -- Dott.

No Free Lunch Seminar by Roberto Casarin, Thu July 2 1:00 PM Aula Bianchi @ SNS
by Giacomo Bormetti 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear all, Thu Jul 2 2015, 1:00 PM in Aula Bianchi, Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa Roberto Casarin Department of Economics - Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia will deliver the seminar "Bayesian Nonparametric Calibration and Combination of Predictive Distributions" Abstract: We introduce a Bayesian approach to predictive density calibration and combination that accounts for parameter uncertainty and model set incompleteness through the use of random calibration functionals and random combination weights. Building on the work of Ranjan and Gneiting (2010) and Gneiting and Ranjan (2013), we use infinite beta mixtures for the calibration. The proposed Bayesian nonparametric approach takes advantage of the flexibility of Dirichlet process mixtures to achieve any continuous deformation of linearly combined predictive distributions. The inference procedure is based on Gibbs sampling and allows accounting for uncertainty in the number of mixture components, mixture weights, and calibration parameters. The weak posterior consistency of the Bayesian nonparametric calibration is provided under suitable conditions for unknown true density. We study the methodology in simulation examples with fat tails and multimodal densities and apply it to density forecasts of daily S&P returns and daily maximum wind speed at the Frankfurt airport. Joint work with Federico Bassetti and Francesco Ravazzolo. All interested people are kindly invited.

MERCOLEDI' 24 GIUGNO, PRESSO IL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA DELLA SAPIENZA, VI SARANNO 2 SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA', CO-ORGANIZZATI DA ROMA1 E ROMA3. Riporto sotto i dettagli Grazie per l'attenzione Alessandra Faggionato Mercoledi' 24 Giugno, ore 14:30 Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica (La Sapienza) Seminario congiunto di Probabilita' (Roma1 e Roma 3) Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Cambdrige) Title: Fluctuation results for Hastings-Levitov planar growth Abstract: In 1998 the physicists Hastings and Levitov introduced a family of continuum models to describe a range of physical phenomena of planar aggregation/diffusion. These consist of growing random clusters on the complex plane, which are built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. It was shown by Norris and Turner (2012) that in the case of i.i.d. maps the limiting shape of these clusters is a disc: in this talk I will show that the fluctuations around this shape are given by a random holomorphic Gaussian field F on {|z| > 1}, of which I will provide an explicit construction. When the cluster is allowed to grow indefinitely, I will show that the boundary values of F converge to a distribution-valued Fractional Gaussian Field on the unit circle, which is log-correlated, and critical in a sense that I will explain. **************************************************************************************************************** Mercoledi' 24 Giugno, ore 15:30 Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica (La Sapienza) Seminario congiunto di Probabilita' (Roma1 e Roma 3) Speaker: Oriane Blondel (Lione) Title: Random walk on the East model (and other environments with spectral gap) Abstract: The East model is a one-dimensional interacting particle system with non attractive spin-flip dynamics. In the physics literature, it is a key example of a model with glassy features. Here we take this model as a random environment and investigate the behaviour of a random walk whose jump rates depend on the current configuration. The analysis relies on general results established for random walks in random environment when the environment is Markovian with positive spectral gap.

June 19th 2015, 11.30h Agustin Mayo Iscar talks on Robust Model based clustering
by Francesca Greselin 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

On June 19th 2015, 11.30h at Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Sala del Consiglio (edificio U7, 4° piano, 4064) Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 – 20126 Milano Agustín Mayo-Iscar - Universidad de Valladolid and IMUVA will give a talk on “Robust model-based clustering and mixture modeling by using trimming and restrictions” Abstract The use of trimming procedures is common in many statistical settings to achieve robustness against outlying observations. Notably, to obtain robustness in model-based clustering and mixture modeling, the only adoption of trimming is not enough. Constraints on the scatters, corresponding to the clusters or to the mixture components, are needed too. The talk presents robust methodology based on the joint application of trimming and feasible restrictions for different clusters and mixture models settings. As it is typical in all proposals designed for this aim, some input parameter needs to chosen, to set the trimming level and the scatter constraints. Data driven tools for helping the user in choosing such values will be also presented. for more info: e-mail: francesca.greselin(a)unimib.it http://www.dismeq.unimib.it

SEMINARIO Prof. Elliott Lieb Princeton University (with Mathieu Lewin, C.N.R.S.) Titolo: Indirect Coulomb Energy with Gradient Correction Martedi' 16 Giugno 2015 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula F, primo piano, edificio Aule Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract We prove a Lieb-Oxford-type inequality on the indirect part of the Coulomb energy (also known as the exchange-correlation energy) of a general many-particle quantum state, with a lower constant than the original statement but involving an additional gradient correction. The result is similar to an inequality of Benguria, Bley and Loss, except that our correction term is purely local, which is more usual for density functional theory. No previous knowledge of the subject will be assumed; a short tutorial on the subject and its importance to quantum chemistry will be presented.

Tomovski (University of Skopje) Title: *Complete monotonicity of the Mittag-Leffler functions and Opial type inequalities for fractional differential and integral operators involving Mittag-Leffler functions * Abstract: Completely monotonic functions have applications in different areas of mathematics, for instance, in potential theory, probability theory, numerical and asymptotic analysis and combinatorics, modeling by anomalous diffusion, etc. In this talk we'll present some recent new results on complete monotonicity of three parameter Mittag-Leffler functions, defined by Prabhakar. In 1960, Opial established an integral inequality, which is a fundamental result in the theory of differential or difference equations and other areas of mathematics. Opial-type integral inequalities were considered for different kinds of fractional derivatives and fractional integral operators for example Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, Canavati, etc. We'll presents a class of very general weighted Opial type integral inequalities using integral and differential operators with kernels in fractional calculus involving generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. Namely, ineteresting Opial type inequalities will be given for Hilfer, Prabhakar, Hilfer-Prabhakar, Caputo-Prabhakar and other differential and integral operators in fractional calculus. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL COLLOQUIUM - MICHEL LEDOUX - TOR VERGATA - 17 GIUGNO Mercoledi` 17 giugno ore 15:30 Aula Dal Passo Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Michel Ledoux Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier Title: How does the heat equation explore geometric and functional inequalities? Abstract: Heat flow monotonicity is a powerful tool towards families of functional inequalities, from the classical Hölder inequality and its multilinear Brascamp-Lieb extensions to entropic and isoperimetric inequalities. The talk will feature some of these examples, as well as recent developments on noise stability in Boolean analysis and their application to the "Majority is Stablest" theorem. Al termine del colloquium è previsto un rinfresco nell'atrio vicino l'aula Dal Passo. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
