Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Mercoledi` 25 marzo ore 14 - 16 Aula D'Antoni 1101 Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Speakers: Armin Schwartzman & Dang Cheng Department of Statistics, North Carolina State University Title: Distribution of the Height of Local Maxima of Gaussian Random Fields Abstract: Let {f(t): t \in T} be a smooth Gaussian random field over a parameter space T, where T may be a subset of Euclidean space or, more generally, a Riemannian manifold. We provide a general formula for the distribution of the height of a local maximum P { f(t_0)>u | t_0 is a local maximum of f(t) } when f is non-stationary. Moreover, we establish asymptotic approximations for the overshoot distribution of a local maximum P { f(t_0)>u+v | t_0 is a local maximum of f(t) and f(t_0)>v } as v \to \infty. Assuming further that f is isotropic, we apply techniques from random matrices theory related to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble to compute such conditional probabilities explicitly when T is Euclidean or a sphere of arbitrary dimension. Such calculations are motivated by the statistical problem of detecting peaks in the presence of smooth Gaussian noise. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ................................................................................

Secondo seminario di Elena Kosygina
by Mariani, Mauro 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

In aggiungta al seminario gia' segnalato di Mercoledi' 25, il giorno Venerdi' 27 Marzo 2015 alloe ore 15:00, nell'Aula INdAM del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' di Roma La Sapienza Elena Kosygina (Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center) effettuera' un seminario dal titolo: *On the connection between homogenization of some stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations and large deviations of diffusions with random drift in a random potential* Sunto del seminario: The connection mentioned in the title is well-known (see, for example, A.-S. Sznitman, Brownian motion in a Poissonian potential, 1993, PTRF). The goal of the talk is to review some necessary facts from large deviations theory and explain that this connection is actually an equivalence. Un saluto Mauro Mariani

Seminario Elena Kosygina
by Mariani, Mauro 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Il giorno Mercoledi' 25 marzo 2015, alle ore 14:00, nell'Aula G del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' la Sapienza di Roma Elena Kosygina (Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center) effettuera' un seminario di circa un'ora: TITOLO: Excited random walks in Markovian cookie environments on Z SUNTO: We consider a nearest-neighbor random walk on Z whose probability ω(x, n) to jump to the right from site x depends not only on x but also on the number of prior visits n to x. The collection (ω(x, n)) is sometimes called the “cookie environment” due to the following informal interpretation. Upon each visit to a site the walker eats a cookie from the cookie stack at that site and chooses the probability to jump to the right according to the “flavour” of the cookie eaten. Assume that the cookie stacks are i.i.d. and that only the first M cookies in each stack may have “flavour”. All other cookies are assumed to be “plain”, i.e. after their consumption the walker makes unbiased steps to one of its neighbours. The “flavours” of the first M cookies within the stack can be different and dependent. We discuss recurrence/transience, ballisticity, and limit theorems for such walks. The talk is based on joint works with Dolgopyat (University of Mary-land), Mountford, Zerner. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Un saluto Mauro Mariani

Master of Science (MSc) Scholarship in Statistics
by elisa＠mi.imati.cnr.it 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Alla cortese attenzione dei possibili interessati. *Master of Science (MSc) Scholarship * *Project:* Developing Inversion Methods for Non-stationary Thinning of Point Processes An MSc scholarship is available to support a student for full-time study towards a research Master's degree in the project specified above in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Otago in Dunedin. Details are as follows: *Award offered: University of Otago Master program -- MARSDEN FUNDED* *Length of Tenure: 12 months or until thesis is submitted (whichever is earlier)* *Emolument per annum: NZ$16,000 plus domestic tuition fee waiver** *Additional funding is available for travel* *Start date: The earliest start date is May 2015 (can be negotiated)* *Part-time study: Part-time study is not permitted* ** *For international applicants who need to pay international tuition fees, the scholarship contributes a fee maximum of domestic tuition and the successful candidate needs to meet the remainder of the international tuition fees http://www.otago.ac.nz/international/otago002190.html** This scholarship is funded by a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fast-start grant awarded to Dr Ting Wang (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Otago). The regulations governing the award are the same as those for University of Otago Scholarships: http://www.otago.ac.nz/study/scholarships/otago013798.pdf This project aims to develop analytical and numerical methods to inverse point processes with non-stationary missing probabilities, where the probability of missing an event depends on time and event size. The successful applicant will learn point process theory; carry out part of the simulation study and some data analysis using the statistical software R under the supervision of Dr Ting Wang. As the Associate Investigators (AIs) Associate Professor Jiancang Zhuang (Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Tokyo) and Dr Koji Kiyosugi (University of Tokyo) are both based in Japan, a visit to Japan is likely to be funded by this project for the student to receive informal mentoring from the AIs. *Eligibility* Applicants should hold a BSc (Hons) or equivalent four year degree in Statistics or a related discipline with a strong research interest. For an exceptional graduate student who has only completed a BSc degree without Honours year, additional scholarship may be awarded for the year of course studies. *Applying for this scholarship* Please contact Dr Ting Wang (twang(a)maths.otago.ac.nz <mailto:twang@maths.otago.ac.nz>, http://www.stats.otago.ac.nz/?People =ting_wang) and provide a covering letter explaining your interest in this project, a CV, a copy of your full academic transcript, and details of two academic referees.
