Seminario di Luca Avena a Roma Tre il 15/01/19 ore 11:30

SEMINARIO Luca Avena (Leiden University, NL) Martedi' 15 Gennaio 2019 ORE 11:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Titolo: Mixing time on dynamic configuration model Abstract: We are interested in understanding the mixing time (i.e. the time to reach equilibrium) for a discrete-time random walk moving on a network changing over time in a random fashion. To this aim, we consider a specific model where the underlying evolving network has n vertices, it is initially sampled from the so-called configuration model (a random graph ensemble with a prescribed vertex-degree sequence) and at each time-unit a given fraction of the edge set is randomly rewired. We characterize the mentioned mixing-time for a random walk without backtracking as a function of the fraction of rewired edges. This work extends to a dynamic setup previous works on random walks on static random graphs. In particular, we show that the mixing-time is speeded-up by the presence of the edge-rewiring dynamics and depending on whether such a dynamics is slow, moderate or fast, we show the presence of so-called cutoff , half-cutoff, or absence of cutoff, respectively.

seminario Feireisl presso Scuola Normale Superiore
by Franco Flandoli 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

*mercoledì 9 gennaio 2019* ore 11:00 *Scuola Normale Superiore* Pisa Aula Mancini *Eduard Feireisl* *(Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences)* Terrà un seminario dal titolo: *“**Semiflow selection for the compressible Euler system**” * *Abstract:* *Using the methods of the theory of Markov semigroups, we show the existence of a Borel measurable solution semiflow for the isentropic Euler system in the multidimensional setting. Solutions are understood as time dependent trajectories of the basic state variables - the mass density, the linear momentum, and the energy - in a suitable phase space. The underlying system of PDE's is satisfied in a generalized sense. The solution semiflow enjoys the standard semigroup properties and the solutions coincide with the strong solutionsof the isentropic Euler system as long as the latter exists. Moreover, * *they minimize the energy (maximize the energy dissipation) among all generalized solutions. **(joint work with D.Breit and M.Hofmanova)* Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Hacking day on Graphical Models
by Claudio Agostinelli 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

Hacking Day at Mathematics for daTa scieNce is a series of crash courses (4-8hours) in special topics. The second Hacking Day is Monday and Tuesday, 2019/01/28-29 on: **Graphical Models** Eva Riccomagno (unige) Federico Carli (unige) The course is an introduction to statistical models supported on finite graphs. The idea of modelling a complex system with a graph is present in various disciplines, from information theory to systems engineering to machine learning. In statistics a graphical model specifies conditional independence statements between random vectors, thus providing a statistical model for the joint distribution of observed variables. The graph has the advantage of providing a visual representation and is a powerful calculation tool. The course presents the basics of probabilistic graphical models, including their algebraic representations and basic software. Further information are available at: http://datascience.maths.unitn.it/events/gm2019/index.html Participation is free.

Cari colleghi, vi annuncio che giovedì 20 dicembre, alle ore 12, nell'aula Beltrami del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' di Pavia, il Dott. Davide Bignamini (Università di Parma) terrà un seminario dal titolo Enclosures and structure of invariant states for quantum channels di cui segue il sunto. Distinti saluti, Raffaella Carbone Abstract: In my talk I will present some probability properties for quantum channels, and I will show some similarities with the theory of classical Markov chains. At first I will introduce the concepts of reducibility, invariant state and enclosure. After that I will discuss the structure of invariant states related to the possible decompositions in enclosures of the positive recurrent subspace. Finally I will reconsider this result for a particular case of homogeneous open quantum random walks. This talk is based on the contents of my Master's thesis (Tesi di Laurea Magistrale).

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Mercoledì 19 Dicembre 2018, alle ore 11:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Matteo SESIA (Stanford University) NEW TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE VARIABLE SELECTION WITH KNOCKOFFS Model-X knockoffs [1] is a new statistical framework that allows the scientist to investigate the relationship between a response of interest and hundreds or thousands of explanatory variables. In particular, model-X knockoffs can be used to identify a subset of important variables from a larger pool that could potentially explain a phenomenon under study while rigorously controlling the false discovery rate [2] in very complex statistical models. In this talk we will briefly review the fundamentals of knockoffs and their use in two different scenarios. First, we will discuss about how knockoffs can be used to exploit prior knowledge of genetic variation to obtain a powerful tool for genome-wide association studies [3]. Then, we will see how the information contained in large unsupervised datasets can be harnessed to perform effectively "model-free" variable selection [4]. [1] E. J. Candès, Y. Fan, L. Janson, and J.

avviso seminario Mauro Mariani
by Franco Flandoli 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Il giorno lunedì 17 dicembre, alle ore 10:30, in aula Aula Marie Curie Il professor Mauro Mariani (High School of Economics, Moscow) terrà un seminario dal titolo: The low temperature limit of Dirichlet energies Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Franco Flandoli Abstract: Let M be a Riemannian manifold equipped with a reference measure m with density \exp(- V/T) with respect to the volume measure, where V represents a potential and the positive constant T represents the temperature. The Dirichlet energy with reference measure m is a classical functional defined on the space of probability measures on M. I will discuss the variational convergence of such a functional in the limit T \to 0. In particular, if V is not convex, a non-trivial expansion by Gamma-convergence holds under generic hypotheses on V. The results are based on a joint work with G.DiGesu (TU Wien).

Dear all, we inform that Professor Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) will give a seminar at LUISS University on Tuesday, December the 18th at 10:00 am in Room 205b, Viale Romania 32 with the following title and abstract Title: Some notes on Malliavin calculus, surface integrals and integration by parts formulae in infinite dimensional spaces Abstract: We introduce a basic construction of the Malliavin calculus which unifies some different perspectives (e.g., Bogachev, Da Prato, Lunardi, Nualart). Then we introduce, for suitable functionals of the Brownian motion, the problem of constructing a surface measure (i.e., the restriction of the reference measure on the infinite dimensional Wiener space) on the level sets defined by them. Finally, we give some interpretation of such results in terms of other stochastic processes.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Mercoledì 12 Dicembre 2018, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Gary L. ROSNER (Johns Hopkins University) BAYESIAN APPROACHES IN REGULATORY SCIENCE Regulatory science comprises the tools, standards, and approaches that regulators use to assess safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of drugs and medical devices. A major focus of regulatory science is the design and analysis of clinical trials. These clinical experiments help us learn about what works clinically and what does not work. The results of clinical trials support therapeutic and policy decisions. Decision making also arises when designing clinical trials. Investigators make many decisions regarding various aspects of how they will carry out the study, such as the primary objective of the study, primary and secondary endpoints, methods of analysis, sample size, etc. Many scientists have advocated greater application of Bayesian statistical inference in regulatory science, and applications of Bayesian methods in drug and device development continue to increase. This talk presents a vision of the drug and device development framework and the way Bayesian inference fits naturally within it. In particular, I advocate greater application of Bayesian decision theory in clinical evaluation of therapeutics. I present some examples that illustrate how one can use decision theory in the design of a clinical study. I also point out some of the challenges one encounters when applying decision theory to clinical research. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Annuncio Seminario (UNIMIB) - S. Bonaccorsi
by gianmario tessitore 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Si avvisa che in data 11-12-2018, alle ore 11:00, presso l'Aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) Titolo: Some notes on Malliavin calculus, surface integrals and integration by parts formulae in infinite dimensional spaces Abstract: We introduce a basic construction of the Malliavin calculus which unifies some different perspectives (e.g., Bogachev, Da Prato, Lunardi, Nualart). Then we introduce, for suitable functionals of the Brownian motion, the problem of constructing a surface measure (i.e., the restriction of the reference measure on the infinite dimensional Wiener space) on the level sets defined by them. Finally, we give some interpretation of such results in terms of other stochastic processes. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mercoledì 05 Dicembre, ore 11:00am ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sala 34 (quarto piano) Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma DAVID CAUSEUR (Agrocampus Ouest, Dep. of Statistics and Computer Science) terrà un seminario dal titolo HANDLING DEPENDENCE OR NOT IN STATISTICAL LEARNING FOR HIGH-DIMENSIONAL DATA tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saluti Pierpaolo Brutti --- ABSTRACT The proper way to handle dependence across features in high-throughput data has raised fundamental discussions with unclear general conclusions or final recommendations. One of the most obvious illustration of this point is the tremendous effort of the statistics research community to address the impact of dependence on the False Discovery Rate (FDR)-controlling method by Benjamini and Hochberg (1995), which was initially designed under an independence assumption. Another famous questioning example is provided by the strikingly good performance of a naïve Bayes procedure ignoring dependence in a comparative study of machine learning methods by Dudoit et al. (2002) to predict classes from gene expression data. Addressing the dependence issue has often consisted in assessing its detrimental impact on the performance of standard methods designed to be optimal under independence, and deduce patches. To be valid for arbitrarily complex dependence patterns, such approaches in which dependence is viewed as a curse can lead to poorly powerful procedures. Therefore, both for machine learning and testing issues, a new generation of methods have emerged, advocating for an ad-hoc handling of dependence consisting in a preliminary whitening of the data (see Ahdesmäki and Strimmer, 2010, Hall and Jin, 2010). However, disentangling the dependent noise and the true association signal is very challenging and decorrelation can then lead to an alteration of the true association signal. For the purpose of global testing, where the objective is to test for the significance of an association signal between a set of features and a covariate, Arias-Castro el al. (2011) suggests that the optimal handling of dependence shall be specific of the pattern of the true association signal, especially through its sparsity rate. The former global testing framework covers a wide scope of applications, such as functional Analysis of Variance (fANOVA) and association tests between a region of the genome formed by contiguous Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) and a case/control response variable in Genome Wide Association Studies. Interestingly, in the two former fields of applications, many popular methods are just based on simple aggregation of pointwise test statistics ignoring their dependence. The talk will start by a selection of short stories with confusing conclusions about the proper way to handle dependence. After a tentative clarification, I will introduce two methods for global testing in which whitening is adapted both to the pattern of dependence across pointwise test statistics and to the pattern of the true signal. The performance of the two testing methods will be illustrated by applications to significance analysis of ElectroEncephalogram curves in Event-Related Potentials (ERP) designs and by SNPset approaches of Genome Wide Association Studies for genetic epidemiology issues. We also discuss the applications of the former general principles to prediction in high-dimension.

2019 ABS Summer School on Bayesian Demography (Como, Italy)
by Consonni Guido 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

We are glad to announce that the 2019 Applied Bayesian Statistics Summer School (16th edition) will be held in the magnificent Villa del Grumello, Como (Italy) along the Lake Como shore. BAYESIAN DEMOGRAPHY 24-28 June, 2019 Lecturers: Adrian Raftery and Hana Ševcíková University of Washington, Seattle, USA Further details are provided below. Guido Consonni and Fabrizio Ruggeri ABS19 Directors Raffaele Argiento ABS19 Executive Director ---------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* * ABS19 * ******************************* Applied Bayesian Statistics School BAYESIAN DEMOGRAPHY Villa del Grumello, Como, Italy 24-28 June, 2019 Lecturers: - Adrian Raftery, the Boeing International Professor of Statistics and Sociology - Hana Ševcíková, Senior Research Scientist Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences, Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, University of Washington, Seattle, USA The School webpage is http://web.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs19/index.html Registration is now open. Please note that the conference room allows only for a very limited number of participants. COURSE OUTLINE Population projections have until recently usually been done deterministically. Recently, the United Nation Population Division adopted a probabilistic approach to project fertility, mortality and population for all countries. In this approach, the total fertility rate and female and male life expectancy at birth are projected using Bayesian hierarchical models estimated via Markov Chain Monte Carlo. They are then combined with a cohort component model, which yields probabilistic projection for any quantity of interest. The methodology is implemented in a suite of R packages, which has been used by the UN analysts to produce the most recent revision of the World Population Prospects. This course will teach the theory and practice of Bayesian probabilistic projections. Ideas of the Bayesian hierarchical modeling for the three main components of population change, fertility, mortality and migration, will be explained. In hands-on exercises, students will become familiar with the functionality of the R packages. PRACTICAL INFORMATION The school will replicate the successful format of the previous years, and will feature lectures and practical sessions, as well as participants' talks. It will start on Monday after lunch and end on Friday before lunch; Wednesday afternoon is free. Accommodation is available either at the Villa guesthouse or in downtown hotels (info will appear soon on the website). Como can be easily reached by train from Milan and its airports. More details are available on the website.
