******************************************************************** SEMINARI per i corsi di Laurea in Economia Aziendale (triennale) Economia delle Risorse Naturali e Culturali (magistrale) ******************************************************************** Mercoledi' 14 Ottobre 2015 alle ore 9:30 presso l'Aula 10 del Dipartimento di Matematica, Informatica ed Economia, Campus Macchia Romana, Universita' degli Studi della Basilicata Prof. Henry Wynn (Department of Statistics, London School of Economics) "What is learning? A Bayesian approach" Abstract: Simple examples show that data can contradict prior beliefs; one can be "surprised". But theoretically one always expects to learn in a well-defined way and the class of information functionals for which this is true is known and includes Shannon information.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giovedì 8 Ottobre, ore 10,30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanza 34 Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Sapienza" Università di Roma Prof. D. De Canditiis (CNR-IAC) Titolo: *Stima della densità dell'intensità di dati Poisson* Sintesi: Motivati dall'analisi di dati astronomici di tipo conteggio si presenterà un metodo per la stima della f.d.p. (funzione densità di probabiltà) della intensità di dati di tipo Poisson. La necessità di dare all'intensità un carattere stocastico nasce dall'esigenza di modellizzare una extra-variabilità contenuta nei dati. Le difficoltà della stima della f.d.p. sono assimilabili a quelle della soluzione (numerica) di un problema inverso lineare mal-posto. La soluzione, intesa come uno stimatore della f.d.p, ha ottime proprietà di convergenza. La metodologia verrà presentata in termini generali e dunque può essere presa come spunto per la risoluzione di altri problemi di analisi dati anche non necessariamente di tipo conteggio. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti Alessandro De Gregorio

CHRISTIAN HENNIG - Quantile-based classifiers - 6.10.15 ore 12.30 - Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi - Bicocca Milano
by Francesca Greselin 30 Sep '15

Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Martedì 6 ottobre 2015 ore 12.30 U7/2104 (AULA ECONOMICA) II PIANO Quantile-based classifiers with application to the classification of bioaerosols CHRISTIAN HENNIG Senior Lecturer, Department of Statistical Science, University College London Abstract Quantile classifiers are generalisations of the median-based classifiers recently introduced by Hall et al. (2009). They work for potentially high-dimensional data, and are defined by classi- fying an observation according to a sum of appropriately weighted component-wise distances of the components of the observation to the within-class quantiles. The optimal quantiles can be chosen by minimizing the misclassification error in the training sample. I will present some theory and simulations results demonstrating that quantile classifiers are very competitive. Quantile classifiers will also be applied to the detection of bioaerosol particles based on gaseous plasma electrochemistry (Sarantaridis et al., 2012). As several other classifiers, quantile classifiers aggregate information coming from the indivi- dual variables. This depends on selection and standardisation of the variables. I will discuss the- se issues in a way that may hopefully be of more general statistical interest. The first aspect is the extraction of some meaningful features from the high-dimensional and quite redundant ori- ginal form of the bioaerosol data. The second aspect is to understand standardisation as va- riable weighting, including the option to refrain from standardisation in situations where the variability of variables may be roughly proportional to the variable importance for classification, or to standardise certain groups of variables against each other, as will be suggested for the bioaerosol data.

Seminario Prof. Mesiar a RM1

Il Prof. Radko Mesiar (STU Bratislava) terrà un seminario sul tema *On the role of ultramodularity (and Schur concavity) in the construction of binary copulas* Il prossimo Venerdì 2 ottobre, ore 14:30, presso l'Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' La Sapienza Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate ad intervenire Fabio Spizzichino *Abstract. * We discuss and stress the role of ultramodularity in special types of constructions of binary copulas. After recalling of some known ultamodularity-based results, we focus on a the so-called D-product of a copula and its dual. We show that for each copula D which is ultramodular and Schur concave on the left upper triangle of the unit square, this D-product of an arbitrary copula and its dual is again a copula. Several examples and counterexamples are given. Finally, some of our results are generalized to the case of semicopulas and quasi-copulas. Work in collaboration with E. P. Klement, A. Kolesarova and S. Saminger-Platz
