Salzburg Workshop on Dependence Models & Copulas (DMC-Salzburg, Austria)
by Durante Fabrizio 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

The Salzburg workshop on Dependence Models and Copulas will take place September 19-22, 2016, in Salzburg (Austria). The workshop features Irène Gijbels (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, BE) Erich Peter Klement (JKU Linz, AT) Roger B. Nelsen (Lewis & Clark College, Portland, US) Ludger Rüschendorf (Albert-Ludwig-Universität Freiburg, DE) Matthias Scherer (Technische Universität München, DE) as plenary speakers and includes invited sessions organized by Axel Bücher (DE), Elena Di Bernardino (FR), Fabrizio Durante (IT), Maria Rita Iacó (FR), Piotr Jaworski (PL), Ostap Okhrin (DE), and Carlo Sempi (IT) as well as various promising contributed sessions. Aiming to provide a meeting point for researchers working in the field of Dependence Modeling and Copulas the workshop comprises both, contributions with a theoretical focus as well as contributions concentrating on applied aspects. In order to stimulate the discussion of new results, ideas and applications there will be no parallel sessions. Fees are kept at a minimum: 140 € for regular participants, 80 € for PhD Students registering before the end of May (including lunches, coffee breaks and conference dinner). Registration is open already, see www.dmc-salzburg.at/Fees_and_Registration.html<http://www.dmc-salzburg.at/Fees_and_Registration.html> for details - due to an unexpectedly high number of submitted contributions only a limited number of participants not giving a talk can register (first come first serve). All relevant info can be found on the workshop homepage http://www.dmc-salzburg.at We are looking forward to welcome you in Salzburg Fabrizio Durante & Wolfgang Trutschnig

Seminario VENTURA

******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Venerdi 29 Aprile 2016 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Laura VENTURA (Università di Padova) ROBUST APPROXIMATE BAYESIAN INFERENCE The likelihood function is the basis of both frequentist and Bayesian methods. However, the stability of likelihood-based procedures requires strict adherence to the model assumptions: mild deviations from the model can lead to misleading inferential results. A possible Bayesian solution to robustness is to use a of robust pseudo likelihood, such as the quasi- and the empirical likelihoods, in the Bayes formula. However, in multiparameter problems the quasi-likelihood is cumbersome, while with small samples the empirical likelihood can be unstable. Moreover, some estimating functions can be difficult to evaluate, which rules out the use of the empirical likelihood and other existing methods (Bayesian bootstrap, Bayesian GMM, etc.). To avoid these drawbacks, in this contribution we focus on posterior distributions from robust unbiased M-estimating functions. These robust posteriors are obtained via Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) with the estimating functions used as summary statistics. Theory and examples with robust M-estimating functions are discussed. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

Avviso di Seminario. Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita` di Roma "Tor Vergata" il giorno 2 maggio 2016, ore 12, in aula Dal Passo il Prof. Franco Flandoli (Universita` di Pisa) terra` un seminario su Alcuni esempi di limite zero-noise per equazioni non ben poste Abstract In questo seminario si studieranno metodi per affrontare equazioni mal poste (cioe` essenzialmente in assenza di unicita`) mediante l'aggiunta di un termine aleatorio che fara` tendere a 0. Dopo una introduzione riguardante il caso di equazioni ordinarie con fenomeno di Peano, si studieranno esempi legati a equazioni alle derivate parziali.

Matlab + Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management Bootcamp
by Francesco Cesarone 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo una scuola estiva (di alto profilo) in finanza quantitativa, che si terrà dal 15 al 21 Agosto 2016 alla New York University. Di seguito trovate tutte le informazioni sul Bootcamp. Cordialmente, Francesco Cesarone %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Hi Francesco, As every year, ARPM is organizing the *Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management Bootcamp* <http://www.arpm.co/bootcamp/>, an intensive, quantitative 6-day course that will be held on 15-20 August at the New York University. As a past attendee and collaborator of SYMMYS/ARPM, we kindly ask you to help us spread the word by forwarding the present message -where we summarize the key highlight of the course- to your contacts. Moreover, we are trying to expand our partnerships with the universities. If you or any of your contacts would be interested in using the *ARPM Lab* <http://www.arpm.co/lab/> (an interactive educational online platform including theory, case studies, videos, exercises, and interactive Matlab/Python code) for their courses, or in collaborating on research or survey projects related to quantitative risk and portfolio management (directly or through Master’s or PhD students), we would be glad to establish a connection. The ARPM Bootcamp, taught by Dr. Attilio Meucci, has a rich program that is constantly updated and covers: estimation/data mining, factor modeling, risk modeling, portfolio construction, optimization, liquidity and execution, and much more. The program is presented in a unified framework, so that, even while exploring each topic in depth, the big picture is never lost. For the most technical topics, along with rigorous material (all available during and after the course) we use live simulations and exercises to help grasp the intuition. Beside suffering though math and technical lectures, the ARPM Bootcamp is an enriching personal experience. Networking is facilitated during social events. In particular, the Gala dinner provides a rare opportunity to engage in informal, intimate conversations with world-renowned quants. Past guests have included Rob Almgren, Peter Carr, Emanuel Derman, Bruno Dupire, Jim Gatheral, Alex Lipton, Bob Litterman, Bob Litzenberger, Andrew Lo, Fabio Mercurio, Steven Shreve, and more. The course is preceded by a 2 day conference on Python and MATLAB programming for Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management (included in the ARPM Bootcamp fee). After the course a (free) optional exam can be taken to be awarded the ARPM Certificate. We have reduced fees for Students and Academics ($1100 instead of $2100) and further reduced rates for groups (2 x $1000 each, 3 x $950 each, ... down to $750 for groups of 7+) For more information, testimonials and registration, please visit our website: www.arpm.co Thank you for your help!
