Robust Statistics @Lake Como: registration is now open!
by Francesca Greselin 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

*** apologies for cross posting *** Dear all, the III International School on Classification and Data Analysis, on *ROBUST STATISTICS: FOUNDATIONS and RECENT DEVELOPMENTS* will take place on the enchanting shores of Lake Como, Italy, on May 4-8, 2020. It is intended for Ph.D. Students, M.S. Students, Post-Docs, Young and Junior researchers. Robust statistics is at the forefront of statistical research, and a central topic in multidisciplinary science where mathematical ideas are used to model and understand the real world, without being affected by contamination that could occur in the data. Nowadays, with the increasing availability of Big data, robust statistical methods are crucially needed. The aim of this course is three-fold: present novel models to describe real-world phenomena, and their properties; study their behavior under different kinds of contamination; discuss their implementation through computational methods. The lecturers are amongst the most influential scholars in the field: Anthony Atkinson <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Anthony_Atkinson3>, London School of Economics, UK Agustin Mayo-Iscar <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Agustin_Mayo>, University of Valladolid, ES Marco Riani <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marco_Riani>, University of Parma, IT Anna Maria Paganoni <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Anna_Paganoni>, Politecnico di Milano, IT The school is organized by the Classification and Data Analysis Group of the Italian Statistical Society <http://cladag.it/>, under the auspices of the European Regional Section <https://iasc-isi.org/ers-mission/> (ERS) of the International Association for Statistical Computing <https://iasc-isi.org/> (IASC). Please note that the conference room allows only for a very limited number of participants (no more than 30). The registration deadline is March 4th 2020.

The Probability and Finance group (https://www.math.unipd.it/en/research/areas/probability-and-finance) at the University of Padova is a dynamic research unit, with a strong international visibility and well-established collaborations with foreign institutions and world leaders in the field of mathematical finance. The University of Padova provides excellent support to foreign candidates. Padova is a beautiful city in the Venetian region, home to one of the oldest universities in the world, with a thriving student life and an excellent quality of life. The position will be officially opened in February 2020, the selection procedure is expected to take place in March 2020 and the position will then start as soon as possible. The effective starting date can be arranged depending on the individual needs of the selected candidate, but cannot be later than September 1st, 2020.

Berlin-Oxford International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2544 “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction”
by Tiziano De Angelis 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Dear All, I was asked to send a reminder of the advert below for PhD opportunities in Berlin and Oxford. The deadline for applications is 20 January. Best wishes Tiziano --------------------------------------------- The recently established Berlin-Oxford International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2544 “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction” offers 8 PhD positions (75% TVL E 13, about 1700 EUR after taxes, social security, ...) for 3 years starting April 1st, 2020, or soon thereafter. Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the IRTG is a joint research initiative of the stochastic analysis group of FU, HU, TU and WIAS Berlin with its counterpart at the University of Oxford. The advertised positions will be based in Berlin and will offer ample opportunities to interact also with members of the Oxford team, most notably in a 6-months exchange. Embedded in a truly international environment, the IRTG students will get excellent research training in a structured programme focussing on challenges at the mathematical foundations of Stochastic Analysis as well as on challenges arising from its various applications, e.g., in physics, biology, finance or data science. The combined expertise from the Berlin and Oxford groups will provide a significant breadth in depth and fertile ground for our students' ambitious research ideas. Successful candidates will have an MSc degree (or equivalent) in Mathematics (or a closely related field), strong knowledge of stochastic analysis, and feel eager to engage in the exchange of ideas with the teams in both Berlin and Oxford. Deadline for applications is January 20, 2020 (for now). Please see https://tub.stellenticket.de/de/offers/74386/ for the official job ad and for instructions how to apply.

Maria Gordina @ Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on *Thursday January* *16th* 2020, at *4:30 PM*, in *Aula Dal Passo* of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: *Maria Gordina* (University of Connecticut) Title: *Stochastic analysis and geometric functional inequalities* Abstract: We will survey different methods of proving functional inequalities for hypoelliptic diffusions and the corresponding heat kernels. Some of these methods rely on geometric methods such as curvature-dimension inequalities (due to Baudoin-Garofalo), and some are probabilistic such as coupling, and finally some use structure theory and a Fourier transform on Lie groups. For nilpotent groups, the latter can be interpreted as an eigenfunction expansion of the hypoelliptic heat kernel. This is based on joint work with F. Baudoin, B. Driver, T. Melcher, Ph. Mariano. This seminar is part of the activity of the MIUR Department of Excellence Grant 2018-2022, CUP E83C18000100006. Kind regards, Anna Vidotto --------- Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto

Buongiorno in aggiunta al seminario di Maria Gordina di Lunedì 13/01/2020 vi sara' al Dipartimento di Matematica della Sapienza il seminario di Antonio Galves, Martedì 14/01/2020. Sotto l'annuncio esteso.

Antonio Galves dell’Universidade de Sao Paulo terrà una conferenza dal titolo ESTIMATING THE INTERACTION GRAPH OF STOCHASTIC NEURAL DYNAMICS Abstract: We address the question of statistical model selection for a class of stochastic models of biological neural nets.Models in this class are systems of interacting chains with memory of variable length. Each chain describes the activity of a single neuron, indicating whether it spikes or not at a given time. The spiking probability of a given neuron depends on the time evolution of its presynaptic neurons since its last spike time. When a neuron spikes, its potential is reset to a resting level and postsynaptic current pulses are generated, modifying the membrane potential of all its postsynaptic neurons. The relationship between a neuron and its pre- and postsynaptic neurons defines an oriented graph, the interaction graph of the model. The goal is to estimate this graph based on the observation of the spike activity of a finite set of neurons over a finite time. We provide explicit exponential upper bounds for the probabilities of under- and overestimating the interaction graph restricted to the observed set and obtain the strong consistency of the estimator. Our result does not require stationarity nor uniqueness of the invariant measure of the process. Joint work with A. Duarte, E. Locherbach and G. Ost. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************
