POSTERIOR CONTRACTION AND CREDIBLE SETS FOR FILAMENTS OF REGRESSION FUNCTIONS
The filament of a smooth function f consists of local maximizers of f when moving in a certain direction. The filament is an important geometrical feature of the surface of the graph of a function. It is also considered as an important lower dimensional summary in analyzing multivariate data. There have been some recent theoretical studies on estimating filaments of a density function using a nonparametric kernel density estimator. In this talk, we consider a Bayesian approach and concentrate on the nonparametric regression problem. We study the posterior contraction rates for filaments using a finite random series of B-splines prior on the regression function. Compared with the kernel method, this has the advantage that the bias can be better controlled when the function is smoother, which allows obtaining better rates. Under an isotropic Holder smoothness condition, we obtain the posterior contraction rate for the filament under two different metrics — a distance of separation along an integral curve, and the Hausdorff distance between sets. Moreover, we construct credible sets of optimal size for the filament with sufficient frequentist coverage. We study the performance of our proposed method through a simulation study and apply on a dataset on California earthquakes to assess the fault-line of the maximum local earthquake intensity.

Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Dear all,
I would like to remind the following talk that will be held tomorrow at the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata.
Vlad Bally (Université Paris-Est) - 07/06/19 - 4:30 PM - Aula D'Antoni
Convergence in Distribution Norms in the CLT and Application to Trigonometric Polynomials
Abstract: Under some regularity condition on the random variables at hand, we prove convergence in distribution norms in the CLT and we also derive some local developments (Edgeworth expansions). We use these results in order to study the asymptotic behavior of the number of roots of trigonometric polynomials with random coefficients.

DISMEQ, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il prof. Georg Pflug della Università
di Vienna terrà un
seminario su
Model uncertainty in option pricing: challenging the Black-Scholes formula
Abstract
It is well known that the validity of the Black-Scholes (BS)
formula is restricted to the case, when the Market model is a geometric
Brownian motion and therefore admits only one Martingale measure.
We consider the situation, when the decision is made on the basis of an
acceptability measure (the dual of a risk measure) and the market model
is not exactly known, but it is known that it belongs to some ambiguity
set of models. We demonstrate that in this case a nonzero bid-ask
spread appears, even if the market model is close to the BS model.
The bid-ask spread increases with the degree of model uncertainty, but
decreases with the acceptability level.
The results are based on a duality theorem for ambiguous decisions.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

*Project abstract*
Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and
anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment
sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the
existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential
and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has
been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure
networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical
approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract
curvilinear networks from image data.
In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract
curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear
network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly
due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high
annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by
these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel,
minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining
deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural
networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and
data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is
exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as
possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will
be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and
guide the curvilinear graph growing.
The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of
tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and
aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in
the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University
Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we
intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other
scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice
region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases.

Selection will take place based on academic excellence and suitability for
the PhD position.
Minimum qualifications are: an official university degree in Maths,
Statistics, Physics, Computer Science or Engineering with at least 300 ECTS
credits, and being fluent in spoken and written English (Spanish is a
plus). Candidates must first be admitted in the PhD Program in Mathematical
Enginnering
