Seminario Martin Huesmann a Pisa
by Marta Leocata 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Cari tutti, mercoledì 7 Settembre alle ore 14:00 presso l'Aula Riunioni del Dipartimento di Matematica di Pisa, Dr. Martin Huesmann (Univ. Bonn) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Monotonicity preserving transformations for martingale optimal transport and the Skorokhod embedding problem" Abstract: There are many transformations mapping martingales into martingales,e.g. M_t -> M_t^2- <M>_t$. However, looking at solutions to the martingale optimal transport problem it turns out that there are only very few transformations that map optimal martingale couplings into optimal martingale couplings. After a short introduction to and review of the state of the art of martingale optimal transport we will give a characterization of all these monotonicity preserving transformations. In particular, these transformation reveal certain symmetries between different solutions to the martingale optimal transport problem. Moreover, we will show that the transport approach to Skorokhod embedding is a powerful tool to study martingale optimal transport and, in turn, that the new symmetries for martingale optimal transport disclose symmetries for solutions to the Skorokhod embedding problem. (based on joint work with Florian Stebegg) Saluti, Marta Leocata

Avviso di Seminario When September 8th 2016, 14:30 Where Sapienza Università di Roma facoltà di Economia Aula Fanfani, V piano Viale del Castro Laurenziano, 9 Speaker *Federico Camerlenghi* Università Luigi Bocconi, Milano Titolo *Distribution theory for hierarchical processes with statistical applications* Abstract In Bayesian nonparametrics, a large amount of literature has been carried out under the assumption that observations are exchangeable. However in a large variety of applications this may appear too restrictive, a typical example is when data are generated by different experiments: even if these experiments may be related, they have some specific features that induce heterogeneity across observations. In such a situation data are usually divided into different groups, and a more appropriate assumption is partial exchangeability. In particular the construction of dependent random probability measures to deal with partially exchangeable observations has recently attracted great attention in Bayesian nonparametric literature. In this talk we define and investigate general classes of nonparametric priors, namely hierarchical models, based on transformations of completely random measures. We are able to study all the analytical properties, i.e. the random partition structure, the predictive distributions and the posterior characterization of the processes. Finally some relevant applications to species sampling problems and survival analysis will be discussed. (This is a joint work with A. Lijoi, P. Orbanz and I. Prunster.) -- ============================================ Brunero Liseo *Dip. di metodi e modelli per il territorio, l'economia e la finanza * *Sapienza Università di Roma* *Viale Castro Laurenziano, 9 Roma I-00161 *Tel. +39 06 49766973 Fax +39 06 4957606 *http://www.memotef.uniroma1.it/users/liseo-brunero <http://www.memotef.uniroma1.it/users/liseo-brunero>* =============================================

seminario Steven Scott (Google) 2/9 in Bicocca
by fabio.bellini 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Cari colleghi, vi segnalo che il giorno venerdì 2 settembre alle ore 17, presso la Aula Martini al piano interrato dell'edificio U6, Steven Scott, Director of Statistics Research at Google, terrà un seminario su Predicting the Present with Bayesian Structural Time Series This article describes a system for short term forecasting based on an ensemble prediction that averages over different combinations of predictors. The system combines a structural time series model for the target series with regression component capturing the contributions of contemporaneous search query data. A spike-and-slab prior on the regression coefficients induces sparsity, dramatically reducing the size of the regression problem. Our system averages over potential contributions from a very large set of models and gives easily digested reports of which coefficients are likely to be important. We illustrate with applications to initial claims for unemployment benefits and to retail sales. Although our exposition focuses on using search engine data to forecast economic time series, the underlying statistical methods can be applied to more general short term forecasting with large numbers of contemporaneous predictors (joint work with Hal Varian). L'evento è organizzato in collaborazione con Innovation Pub e sarà seguito da un piccolo rinfresco. Sarà inoltre possibile seguire lo streaming su http://streaming.unimib.it/.

29 Aug '16

Dear all, we are pleased to announce that the third meeting of the *StaTalk* series will be held at *Facoltà di Economia di Sapienza Università di Roma *on *September 9, 2016*. 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. StaTalks are endorsed by Y-SIS ( https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/), the young section of the Italian Statistical Society. The topic of the third StaTalk will be on *Computational Tools for Statistical Modelling*. We will present and discuss both standard and new computational methods which represents fundamental tools for new challenging applications, such as economic, finance, genetic and official statistics. *Programme* *09.30-10.00 *Opening *10.00-10.40 *Christian Macaro (SAS System) "*A mixture of heterogeneous models with time dependent weights*" *10.40-11.10* Coffee break *11.10-11.50* Clara Grazian (MEMOTEF Department) "*Modelling financial dependence through approximate Bayesian inference*" *11.50-12.30* Stefano Vaccari (MEMOTEF Department) "*Pricing in the Presence of Social Learning: Modelling Information Aggregation in a Competitive Market*" *12.30-14.30* Lunch break *14.30-15.10 *Andrea Tancredi (MEMOTEF Department) "*A Bayesian approach for de-duplication, record linkage and inference with linked data.*" *15.10-15.50 *Luca Tardella (Department of Statistical Science) "*Alternative approaches for approximating marginal likelihood.*" *15.50-16.30* Davide Di Cecco (ISTAT) "*Towards the use of administrative sources in official statistics: Some examples of methodologies for administrative multi source integration utilized at ISTAT.*" *16.30-17.00 *Closing Additional info can be found at the workshop page https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/events/statalk… or by writing to clara.grazian(a)uniroma1.it.

11 Jul '16

Dear all, we are pleased to announce that the third meeting of the *StaTalk* series will be held at *Facoltà di Economia di Sapienza Università di Roma*on *September 9, 2016*. 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. StaTalks are endorsed by Y-SIS ( https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/), the young section of the Italian Statistical Society.

ESOBE - Annual European Seminar on Bayesian Econometrics - Call for papers
by Monica Billio 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

7^th ANNUAL EUROPEAN SEMINAR ON BAYESIAN ECONOMETRICS *ESOBE 2016* * *Venice, Italy 27 - 28 October 2016 The workshop is organised by the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice *(Venice, Italy), and is co-sponsored by the *European Central Bank *(Frankfurt) and *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy). The ESOBE meetings aim at bringing together researchers and professionals interested in the application of Bayesian inference. Ever since the pioneering work of Arnold Zellner, Bayesian econometrics has expanded enormously in areas such as economics, finance, business, and marketing. Empirical applications of Bayesian econometrics deal with issues such as financial time series analysis, risk management, economic growth analysis, measurement of policy effectiveness, individual decision making in marketing, labour market analysis, forecasting in monetary policy, just to name a few. The computational revolution in simulation techniques is a key ingredient in this expansion and allows the application of Bayesian methods to increasingly complex models and high-dimensional data environments. The ESOBE meetings are intended as a discussion forum for new and recent research methods that are capable to face these challenges. These techniques include, among others, semi-parametric modelling based on mixtures, shrinkage estimators, and variable selection methods. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: ·Bayesian financial econometrics ·Bayesian microeconometrics and program evaluation ·Bayesian nonparametric and semi-parametric methods based on countably infinite mixtures ·Shrinkage estimation and variable selection in high-dimensional data environments ·Computational methods for large datasets ·Efficient MCMC and SMC methods for complex models The keynote speakers of ESOBE 2016 are: ** *Christian P. Robert*(University Paris Dauphine and University of Warwick) *Thomas J. Sargent*(New York University) The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) *Fabio Canova*(BI Norwegian Business School) *Roberto Casarin *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) *Sylvia Frühwirth-Schnatter *(Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) *Sylvia Kaufmann *(Study Center Gerzensee) *Gary Koop *(Strathclyde Business School) *Francesco Ravazzolo *(Free University of Bozen/Bolzano) *Herman K. van Dijk *(Erasmus University Rotterdam and VU University Amsterdam) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. In addition to invited presentations, the workshop will have: * contributed sessions; * a special session by junior scientist presentations; * a poster presentations. We would welcome submissions for these sessions. Submissions for the contributed sessions should be sent to ** <mailto:esobe2016@unive.it>*esobe2016(a)unive.it <mailto:esobe2016@unive.it>*by*July 15, 2016*. Researchers who received their Ph.D. after *October 2013 *or *expect to graduate by November 2016*, may register as "junior scientist" (a detailed CV has to be submitted during registration). Junior scientists may apply for a travel award (more detailed information will be soon available). Papers submitted by junior scientists will be eligible for the Special Session of Junior Scientist Presentations. IMPORTANT DATES July 15, 2016: Papers submission deadline August 20, 2016: Paper acceptance notification September 30, 2016: Deadline for registration More detailed information available on the Conference website: <http://virgo.unive.it/esobe2016/index.htm>http://virgo.unive.it/esobe2016/index.htm <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2015/credit2015.htm> * Apologies for post-crossing.

EFI2, December 5-6, Padova, Italy: first announcement
by Tiziano Vargiolu 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Dear all, I am glad to invite you to contribute and take part in the second edition of the workshop Energy Finance Italia, this time held in Padova (Italy) on December 5-6, 2016: http://events.math.unipd.it/efi2/ The aim of this workshop, at its second national edition, is to aggregate in a yearly meeting all Italian researchers, both from academics as from the industrial world, who deal with energy markets and related topics in a wide sense (energy-related time series like market prices, weather etc., evaluation and optimization of physical assets, etc.). Nevertheless, the participation (both as speakers as in the audience) is by no means limited only to Italian speaking people, and non-Italian participants are very welcome. The formula of this workshop (and hopefully of the next ones to follow) is made after the very successful "Workshops in Quantitative Finance", held annually in Italy for the last 18 years: - NO invited speakers, but only contributed ones: this is intented to favour the presence of both young researchers and more senior colleagues, and will favour the exchange of ideas and the birth of new collaborations. - no parallel sessions, but only one session: everyone listens to everybody. - each talk will have an official discussant: this ensures some very interesting and fruitful academic discussions. We all hope to see you all in Padova! Important dates --------------- - October 15, 2016: deadline for abstract submission - November 1, 2016: notification of acceptance Tiziano -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Vargiolu Dipartimento di Matematica Phone: +39 049 8271383 Universita' di Padova Fax: +39 049 8271428 Via Trieste, 63 E-mail: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it I-35121 Padova (Italy) WWW: http://www.math.unipd.it/~vargiolu --------------------------------------------------------------------------

annuncio di seminario
by Faggionato, Alessandra 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Lunedi' 11 Luglio alle 17.15, in Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' La Sapienza, si terra' il seguente seminario di free probability e combinatoria: Speaker: Frederic Patras (CNRS, Laboratoire J.A.Dieudonné, Nizza) Title: Free cumulants and half-shuffles Abstract: The theory of free probabilities has various origins: among others the theory of solutions of random operator-valued differential equations and the one of random matrices and their asymptotic properties. A notion of (free) cumulant has been introduced in this context which (for plenty of reasons) happens to be the "good" generalization of classical cumulants. Roland Speicher has introduced and studied these cumulants form a combinatorial point of view, using the poset of non-crossing partitions. The talk will survey these results and explain a new approach to these questions (j.w. with K. Ebrahimi-Fard).

Seminario di N. Torri a Milano-Bicocca (05.07.2016)
by Francesco Caravenna 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Martedì 5 luglio 2016 alle ore 10:30, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Niccolò Torri (Université de Nantes) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Interacting prudent self-avoiding walk" Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: The collapse transition of self-interacting random walks is a challenging issue, arising in the study of an homopolymer dipped in a repulsive solvent. Different mathematical models have been built by physicists to try and improve their understanding of this phenomenon. For such models, the possible spatial configurations of the polymer are provided by self-avoiding walk trajectories. However, self avoiding walks, especially in dimension 2 and 3, are complicated objects. This is the reason why, in the mathematical literature, collapse transition models were rather built by either relaxing the self-avoiding feature of the walk or by considering partially directed path. In our main result, we prove the existence of a collapse transition for a non-directed model built with prudent paths, i.e., non-directed self-avoiding paths which can not take a step towards a previously visited lattice site. The prudent self-avoiding walk has attracted the attention of the combinatorics community over recent years and an open problem is to find out the exponential growth rate of the set of prudent paths. As a by product of our results we are able to solve this problem. In the first part of the talk we discuss the main models already studied in the literature, while in the second part of the talk we present our main results. The presentation will be kept at an elementary level: only a basic probabilistic background is assumed. (Joint work with Nicolas Pétrélis) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________

seminario di A. Hocquet a Pisa
by Marco Romito 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Il giorno 5 luglio 2016, alle ore 11:30, presso la sala seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pisa, si terrà il seguente seminario: A. Hocquet (TU Berlin): Finite-time singularities of the stochastic harmonic map flow on surfaces. Abstract: A ferromagnetic material possesses a magnetization, which, out of equilibrium, satisfies the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG). Thermal fluctuations are taken into account by Gaussian space-time white noise. At least in the deterministic case, there is an important parallel between this model and the so-called Harmonic Map Flow (HMF). This was originally used by geometers (in the early sixties) as a tool to build harmonic maps between two manifolds u:M->N. The case where M is two dimensional is critical, in the sense that the natural energy barely fails to give well-posedness. We do not address here the problem of the solvability of LLG driven by space-time white noise. Instead, we consider a spatially correlated version. We show that oppositely to the deterministic case, blow-up of solutions happens no matter how we choose the initial data. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. m.

Seminario Simone Scotti a Padova
by Giorgia Callegaro 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Buongiorno a tutti, annuncio con piacere che il giorno *1° luglio 2016 alle ore 15 *Simone Scotti (Université Paris VII) terrà, presso l'aula 2BC30 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Padova (Via Trieste 63, Padova) un seminario dal titolo: "Branching processes with applications to finance" Abstract: We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the \alpha-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the \alpha-stable Lévy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence of large jumps at local extent. We emphasize on a general integral representation of the model by using random fields, with which we establish the link to the CBI processes and the affine models. Finally we analyze the jump behaviors and in particular the large jumps, and we provide numerical illustrations.

seminario 22 giugno 2016 - Bicocca

Si avvisa che il giorno mercoledì 22 giugno 2016 alle ore 15.30 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, secondo piano- aula Demografica – stanza 2062) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Dott. Patrick Beissner (Australian National University, Canberra, Australia) Titolo: “Knight-Walras Equilibria” Abstract: Knightian uncertainty leads naturally to nonlinear expectations. We introduce a corresponding equilibrium concept with sublinear prices and establish their existence. In general, such equilibria lead to Pareto inefficiency and coincide with Arrow--Debreu equilibria only if the values of net trades are ambiguity--free in the mean. Without aggregate uncertainty, inefficiencies arise generically. We introduce a constrained efficiency concept, uncertainty--neutral efficiency and show that Knight--Walras equilibrium allocations are efficient in this constrained sense. Arrow--Debreu equilibria turn out to be non--robust with respect to the introduction of Knightian uncertainty. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Ho il piacere di invitarvi al seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì 23 Giugno, alle 15:00, in aula 2AB40 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Padova. SPEAKER: Paolo Pigato AFFILIATION: INRIA Nancy-Grand Est TITLE: Statistical estimation of diffusion processes with discontinuous coefficients ABSTRACT: We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of the Oscillating Brownian Motion, a classical example of stochastic differential equation with discontinuous diffusion coefficient. We see how to construct this process as limit of Oscillating Random Walks, and consider the problem of statistical estimation of these discrete objects. We then study the convergence of some estimators for the parameters of the limiting process.

Seminario SCOTT

******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Mercoledi 22 Giugno 2016 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Steven SCOTT (Google) PREDICTING THE PRESENT WITH BAYESIAN STRUCTURAL TIME SERIES This article describes a system for short term forecasting based on an ensemble prediction that averages over different combinations of predictors. The system combines a structural time series model for the target series with regression component capturing the contributions of contemporaneous search query data. A spike-and-slab prior on the regression coefficients induces sparsity, dramatically reducing the size of the regression problem. Our system averages over potential contributions from a very large set of models and gives easily digested reports of which coefficients are likely to be important. We illustrate with applications to initial claims for unemployment benefits and to retail sales. Although our exposition focuses on using search engine data to forecast economic time series, the underlying statistical methods can be applied to more general short term forecasting with large numbers of contemporaneous predictors. 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.
