Call for papers: acceptance of submissions has started. The deadline for extended abstract submission is November 26, 2017. The format of the abstract is maximum two pages, in pdf, in which the name of the presenting Author and the title of the presentation have to be specified. The abstract should be sent to the address energyfinanceitalia(a)gmail.com Fees: 100 euros per person. They include session break refreshments, lunches and the social dinner. Instructions about how to pay will be given soon. EFI3 Young Investigator Training Program ---------------------------------------- The network of Italian universities behind EFI3 will participate in a competitive call of the Associazione di Fondazioni e di Casse di Risparmio (ACRI) named 'YOUNG INVESTIGATOR TRANING PROGRAM'. If financed, this program will allow our network to issue some grants to young researchers (younger than 40 years of age) working outside Italy (Italian or not) to facilitate them 1) to participate to the EFI3 workshop, and 2) to spend one month in one of the universities of the network. These grants will be awarded on a competitive basis. ACRI is expected to announce the results of its financing competition by the end of December 2017. News about this initiative will appear on the website http://energyfinanceitalia.dtdns.net/index.php/efi3 We all hope to see you all in Pescara!

Fwd: Please share: PhD opportunities in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath
by pietro caputo 06 Nov '17

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jessica Ohren <J.M.Ohren(a)bath.ac.uk> Date: Mon, Nov 6, 2017 at 2:23 PM Subject: Please share: PhD opportunities in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath To: Dear all, I would be very grateful if you could circulate these opportunities from the University of Bath widely. Applications to SAMBa - our *Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics* (go.bath.ac.uk/samba) - are now open. We aim to recruit 10-12 students on fully funded scholarships (for UK and EU students) to begin September 2018. A poster and an advert which includes how to apply are attached. You can also find information online: https://www.findaphd.com/search/PhDDetails.aspx?CAID=2444&LID=79. There is no formal closing date but we expect to fill all our places by March 2018 so early application is encouraged. We also have two individual PhD projects available in collaboration with Syngenta, which are available from 1st January. These are also open to UK and EU students and provide an opportunity to be part of a vibrant, creative and supportive environment in the Mathematical Sciences department here in Bath. *Mathematical modelling for safe, yet effective, pesticide development and usage.* Lead supervisor: Jane White <http://www.bath.ac.uk/math-sci/contacts/academics/jane-white/>. https://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=86111&LID=79 Closing date: Wednesday 15th November This project is about creating and analysing a series of mathematical models that can be used to compare and contrast pesticide absorption through leaf surfaces and human skin and to begin to understand how different pesticide components contribute to the optimal solution of high leaf, but negligible skin, penetration. Working with colleagues from Syngenta means that there will be data available to estimate model parameters and to validate the model outputs. *Modern statistical techniques for assessing and predicting herbicide performance*. Lead supervisor: Evangelos Evangelou <http://www.bath.ac.uk/math-sci/contacts/academics/evangelos-evangelou/>. https://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=85079&LID=79 Closing date: Wednesday 15th November This project will be at the interface of statistics and computer science with significant mathematical, methodological, and computational components. You will develop statistical models and methodology for assessing chemical compounds from their descriptive characteristics and their performance on screening tests, and accordingly compute a quantitative score for each chemical. You will apply this methodology to tackle real problems provided by Syngenta using data from their screening experiments on herbicides. An opportunity is also available to join Bath Maths through a BioMedicine Centre, led from the University of Bristol. The PhD would not start until September 2018 but the closing date is the end of this month. *Tortoise and hare: Physical activity profiles and their impact on cardiometabolic disease risk*. Bath supervisor: Nicole Augustin <http://www.bath.ac.uk/math-sci/contacts/academics/nicole-augustin/>. https://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=89645&LID=1761 Closing date: Friday 24th November This project will be best suited to a student with very strong statistical/applied mathematics skills. The student will develop practical skills related to the processing of data in very large datasets, linkage to health records, and the refinement and use of novel statistical methods in survival analyses. This project aims to refine statistical methods, apply these methods to the development of integrated physical activity profiles, and develop a ‘scoring system’ that integrates information from across the activity dimensions to make it easier for people to understand the risks associated with their physical activity profiles.

Seminario LATUSZYŃSKI
by Matteo Ruggiero 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 10 Novembre 2017, alle ore 12:00, presso la nuova sede del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terra' il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Krzysztof LATUSZYŃSKI (University of Warwick) Exact Bayesian inference for discretely observed jump-diffusions The standard approach to inference for parametric diffusion processes relies on discretisation techniques (such as the Euler method) that introduce an approximation error difficult to quantify especially for discontinuous models, like jump-diffusions. In this talk, I will present methodology for exact inference that avoids discretisation errors and allows to design MCMC samplers targeting the exact posterior distribution of the diffusion parameters and diffusion path between observations. The approach is based on Bernoulli Factory type subroutines, and is a general alternative to pseudo-marginal inference. The talk will be based on http://imstat.org/bjps/papers/BJPS374.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.00332.pdf and is joint work with Flavio Goncalves and Gareth Roberts. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (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

Fifth edition of the StaTalk series (workshops on statistical topics)
by Euloge C. Kenne Pagui 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

*************************************************************************** 5th STATALK @ Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padua, 17 Nov 2017 **************************************************************************** Dear all, this is a reminder that the fifth edition of the StaTalk series will be held at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padua, on November, 17, 2017. All the information, including the updated program and abstracts of the presentations, can be found at the workshop page statalk.stat.unipd.it Deadline for registration: 12th November 2017. StaTalks are one-day workshops on statistical topics during which the hosting group introduces and overviews the main research interests of their members. Aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as at post-docs and young researchers, StaTalks are intended to be informal gatherings which allow for a more proficient interaction between presenters and participants. They typically feature some introductory tutorials on the main workshop theme and a few seminars that overview more advanced research topics, still kept at an expository level. StaTalks are thus a great opportunity to become acquainted with the workshop main topic, as well as to share and update one's knowledge on the interface of Statistical research in an easy and informal atmosphere. Registrations, as in the past StaTalk events, is free of charge but mandatory. Best regards, The Organising Committee --------------------------------------------------------- Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova.
