Seminario MLADEN SAVOV (presso Federico II - dip di Matematica)
by Bruno Toaldo 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Lunedì 4 dicembre alle ore 15 in aula E al III livello del dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni "Renato Caccioppoli" dell'Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Mladen Savov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) Titolo: Bernstein-gamma functions and exponential functionals of Lévy processes Abstract: In this talk we introduce a new class of special functions, called Bernstein-gamma functions. This simple class extends the classical Gamma function. We derive the Stirling asymptotic and describe the main analytic properties of the class of Bernstein-gamma functions. We then use these functions to evaluate explicitly the Mellin transform of the so-called exponential functionals of Levy processes which in turn allows a thorough study of these random variables. We also discuss the link between the Bernstein-gamma functions and many quantities related to one-dimensional self-similar Markov processes. The latter suggests that Bernstein-gamma functions can play the same role the Gamma function plays in the understanding of many continuous path stochastic processes. This is joint work with Pierre Patie (Cornel, US) Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Bruno Toaldo

Buongiorno, Martedi' 28 Novembre alle ore 14.00 ci sara' il seguente seminario in Aula di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' La Sapienza) : *Speaker: *Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (Institut für Angewandte Mathematik — Universität Bonn) *Title: *Two characterizations of Dirichlet—Ferguson measures *Abstract:* We consider the Dirichlet—Ferguson (DF) measure, a random probability on a locally compact Polish space X introduced by Ferguson in [1]. The measure has ever since found many applications, widely ranging from Bayesian non-parametrics to population genetics and stochastic dynamics of infinite particle systems. Firstly, we compute the characteristic functional of DF measures (addressing, if time permits, connections of these measures with Lie algebra theory and Pólya Enumeration Theory). Secondly, we prove a characterization of DF measures via a Mecke-type integral identity. Profiting of connections between DF measures and Poisson measures on configuration spaces, we argue how DF measures may be regarded as ‘canonical' measures on the space P(X) of Borel probability measures on X. Partly based on joint work with E. W. Lytvynov, University of Swansea, Wales, UK. [1] Ferguson, T. S., Ann.

Il giorno 22 novembre, alle ore 14.30, in Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano (via Saldini, 50) il prof. Matteo Barigozzi (London School of Economics, Londra) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Statistical analysis of high-dimensional time series via factor models" Abstract High-dimensional time series are among the most common type of dataset available today, and have entered current practice in many areas, including meteorology, genomics, chemometrics, complex physics simulations, biological and environmental research, finance and econometrics. The analysis of such datasets poses significant challenges, both from a statistical as well as from a numerical point of view. Some of the most successful procedures so far have been based on dimension reduction techniques and, more particularly, on high-dimensional factor models which have been developed, essentially, within time series econometrics. In this talk I will first review the main results on the representation of high-dimensional stationary times series as generalized dynamic factor models. Then I will present two different estimation techniques based on principal component analysis and on Kalman filtering. Both a time and a frequency domain approach are considered. Last, some extensions to non-stationary time series are also discussed.

Final announcement: "Winter school on Energy Systems", Eindhoven (NL), 11-15 December 2017
by Zocca, Alessandro 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Dear colleagues, we are pleased to announce that the “Winter school on Energy Systems” will take place in the week of December 11-15, 2017, in Eindhoven (NL). This winter school is part of a longer tradition of workshops, called YEQT (Young European Queueing Theorists), organized annually by the Eurandom research institute for Stochastics located at the Eindhoven University of Technology. This year we organize the 11th edition of the YEQT workshop on the theme "Stochastic modelling and analysis of energy networks". This year’s YEQT has a different structure than usual, being structured as a winter school. The workshop consists of several tutorials presented by six renowned researchers: - Ana Bušić (INRIA, Paris) - James Cruise (Heriot-Watt University) - Pär Holmberg (Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Stockholm) - Pierre Pinson (Technical University of Denmark) - John Moriarty (Queen Mary University of London) - Kostya Turitsyn (MIT) Next to the tutorials, there will be 16 research talks given by invited young researchers and a poster session. For more information, program, titles and abstracts, we welcome you to take a look at the winter school webpage: https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/events/workshops/2017/YEQT_XI_2017/YEQT_XI_2017… Registration is free, but compulsory for organizational purposes (see the link in the webpage).

Seminario di probabilità al Politecnico di Milano
by Fabio Zucca 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Si avvisa che in data 23/11/2017, alle ore 10:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari del III piano del DIpartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: On segmentation with hidden, pairwise and triplet Markov models Relatore: Juri Lember, University of Tartu, Estonia Abstract: The well-known hidden Markov model (HMM) is a two-dimensional stochastic process (X,Y), where Y is a Markov chain and conditionally on Y, the X-process consists of independent random variables, the distribution of the random variable X_t depending on Y_t, only. Over the last decades, HMM's have become very popular stochastic models with applications to speech recognition, signal processing, linguistic, computational molecular biology and so on. Often the Y-process is unobserved (hidden) and the goal of the inference is to estimate its unobserved realization based on a realization of X-process. This task is called the segmentation problem and the standard ways to solve it is to use either maximum likelihood (so-called Viterbi) path or pointwise maximum likelihood (so-called PMAP) path. A trivial but important property of HMM is that the process Z=(X,Y) is itself a Markov process with a product state space. This observation allows naturally enlarge the class of HMM's to the class of pairwise Markov models (PMM) as follows: Z=(X,Y) is a PMM if Z has Markov property. Now it is clear that PMM's are a much larger class of models whose HMM\'s is just a little subclass. We briefly discuss several PMM's like Markov switching models and HMM's with dependent noise. It is important to note that if (X,Y) is a Markov process, then neither X nor Y need to have Markov property, but conditionally on X, the Y-process is Markov and vice versa. It turns out that many good properties of HMM's are mainly due to the Markov property of Z and hence these properties carry on to PMM's as well. In particular the well-known Viterbi and forward-backward algorithms apply and so standard segmentation approaches can be applied in the case of PMM's. Moreover, PMM-models provide a rather flexible and realistic model for the homology of random sequences. A triplet Markov model (TMM), introduced by W. Pieczynski, is a three-dimensional Markov process (X,Y,U), where, as previously, X stands for observations and Y is the hidden state sequence of interest. But in addition, there is another hidden component U. Since conditionally on U, the pair (X,Y) is an inhomogeneous PMM, the U-component models now the change of environment. It turns out that adding the U-component makes the model really flexible. We give a general approach to the risk-based segmentation problem that also applies for PMM's and TMM's, discuss the weaknesses standard approaches and introduce a way to overcome these problems. We also discuss the asymptotics of Viterbi segmentation for PMM\'s. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Fabio Zucca

seminario Chiara Corsato
by Emanuela Rosazza 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Si avvisa che il giorno lunedì 20 novembre alle ore 15 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- aula 4026) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Chiara Corsato (Università di Trieste) Titolo: “Weak Dutch Books: the lose-or-draw case with lower previsions” Abstract: This seminar is devoted to present some recent results obtained in the field of Imprecise Previsions. We introduce the general topic evidencing the link with risk measures and we concentrate on the notions of convex and Williams' coherent imprecise previsions. These concepts are interpreted in a betting scheme, following de Finetti's approach to subjective probability. Uncertainty assessments for imprecise previsions based on those consistency conditions require that the suprema of certain random numbers, interpreted as gains, are non-negative. The extreme situation that a supremum is zero represents what is called a Weak Dutch Book (WDB). The core of this presentation aims to analyse the properties of WDBs with convex and Williams' coherent imprecise previsions. Namely, we show that WDB assessments ensure a certain `local precision' property and imply, in the agent's evaluation, some kind of `protection' against real losses. Further, these properties vary with the consistency notion we adopt, tending to vanish with the weaker one of convexity. A generalisation of the classical strict consistency notions is also discussed, in order to rule out the extreme situations caused by WDBs. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di Probabilita`, Universita` La Sapienza (Roma)
by Faggionato, Alessandra 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Martedi' 14 Novembre, ore 14, Aula di Consiglio. Titolo: Well-posedness of semilinear SPDEs with singular drift: a variational approach Speaker: Luca Scarpa ( Department of Mathematics University College London, UK) Abstract. Well-posedness is proved for singular semilinear SPDEs on a smooth bounded domain D in R^n. The linear part is associated to a coercive linear maximal monotone operator on L^2(D) while the drift is represented by a multivalued maximal monotone graph everywhere defined on R, on which no growth nor smoothness conditions are required. Moreover, the noise is given by a cylindrical Wiener process on a Hilbert space U, with a stochastic integrand taking values in the Hilbert-Schmidt operators from U to L^2(D): classical Lipschitz-continuity hypotheses for the diffusion coefficient are assumed. The proof consists in approximating the equation, finding uniform estimates both pathwise and in expectation on the approximated solutions, and then passing to the limit using compactness and lower semicontinuity results. Finally, possible generalizations are discussed. This study is based on a joint work with Carlo Marinelli (University College London). -- ************************************************* 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 *************************************************

Half day in Stochastic Processes - Esame finale Dottorato
by Paolo Dai Pra 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

In occasione dell’esame finale di Dottorato di Luisa Andreis, vi annuncio il seguente: Half day in stochastic processes Giovedì 16 Novembre 2017, presso l’aula 2AB45 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Università di Padova, si svolgeranno i seguenti seminari. 14:15 Elisabetta Scoppola (Università di Roma III). Conditionally strong quasi-stationary times and metastability Abstract: We generalise the notion of strong stationary time to define a conditionally strong quasi-stationary times that turns out to be a crucial tool for the study of metastability in a completely general setting. 15:00 Davide Gabrielli (Università dell'Aquila). Exchange dynamics, reversibility and tournaments Abstract: We consider a generalization to N types of particles of the classic ABC model. We have particles of different types stochastically evolving on a one dimensional lattice with an exchange dynamics. The rates of exchange are local but under suitable conditions the dynamics is reversible with a Gibbsian like invariant measure with long range interactions. We discuss geometrically the conditions of reversibility on a ring that correspond to a gradient condition on the graph of configurations or equivalently to a divergence free condition on a graph structure associated to the types of particles. We show that much of the information on the interactions between particles can be encoded in associated \emph{Tournaments} that are a special class of oriented graphs. In particular we show that the interactions of reversible models are corresponding to strongly connected tournaments. The possible minimizers of the energies are in correspondence with the Hamiltonian cycles of the tournaments. We can then determine how many and which are the possible minimizers of the energy looking at the structure of the associated tournament. As a byproduct we obtain a probabilistic proof of a classic Theorem of Camion on the existence of Hamiltonian cycles for strongly connected tournaments. Using these results we obtain in the case of an equal number of k types of particles new representations of the Hamiltonians in terms of translation invariant k-body long range interactions. We show that when k=3,4 the minimizer of the energy is always unique up to translations. Starting from the case k=5 it is possible to have more than one minimizer. In particular it is possible to have minimizers for which particles of the same type are not joined together in single clusters. Joint work with F. Roncari. 15:45 - 16:00 Break 16:00. Luisa Andreis (Università di Padova e Weierstrass Institute Berlin).

---------- 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.

************************************************************************ 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.

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.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario L. Finos
by Laura M. Sangalli 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Si avvisa che in data 07-11-2017, alle ore 15:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Livio Finos, Università degli Studi di Padova Titolo: Robust testing of generalized linear models by sign-flipping score contributions Sommario: We consider the problem of testing a generalized linear model (GLM) with possibly misspecified distribution. In this case, the traditional tests lose their good properties, since the Fisher information is estimated under incorrect assumptions. Here we present a testing approach that is based on random sign-flipping of score contributions, while not requiring any estimate of the Fisher information. As long as the link function is correct and under mild assumptions, our method is robust (i.e. asymptotically exact, consist) against several types of model misspecification, such as overdispersion, heteroscedasticity and, in some cases, ignored nuisance parameters. Among the other features, the methods extends easily to the multivariate (and multiple testing) framework, since it deals efficiently with the dependence of univariate tests without the need of estimating it. Some application to real data is shown and discussed. Based on joint work with Jesse Hemerik and Jelle Goeman Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Thursday November 2 from from 12:00 to 13:00, Department of Economics and Finance LUISS room 207 viale Romania 32 00197 Roma. Speaker: Tristan Garrec (Université Toulouse Capitole) Title: Irreducible and Cyclic Zero-Sum Product Stochastic Games Abstract: We study two classes of zero-sum stochastic games with compact action sets and a finite product state space. For on-one-side irreducible games, we prove the existence of the uniform value. For cyclic games, we prove that the asymptotic value may fail to exist. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/
