Subject: Bocconi Call for Applications - PhD in Statistics 2018/19 - deadline
Feb 1st, 2018
Dear colleague,
I would be grateful if you could bring the Bocconi PhD program in Statistics to the attention
of your best master students.
The deadline for application is February 1st, 2018.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PhD in Statistics
Call for applications for PhD student positions
Within the PhD School at Bocconi University, the four-year PhD program in Statistics provides a
solid grounding for high level research in statistics, probability and data science.
The curricula is organized over two years of courses and two years entirely devoted to research.
Students acquire a deep methodological preparation through the first-year courses, which cover the
fundamentals of probability and statistics. Specialized competence is acquired through the
second-year courses, which are already focused on the doctoral thesis project. Both theoretical and
applied research, including methods for machine learning and data science, are supported and
encouraged. Dedicated mentorship is offered to students throughout their time at Bocconi.
Multidisciplinary interchange with other graduate programs in Bocconi?s PhD School, as well as
research experience abroad, are encouraged.
The program includes monographic courses held by visiting professors from the most prestigious
Universities and research institutions.
The Ph.D. in Statistics is designed for highly motivated students who wish to undertake first rate
research careers in theoretical or applied statistics and data science. Career opportunities also
include central banks, financial institutions, governments and international organizations, and
public health institutions.
Highly qualified and motivated students with M.Sc. degrees in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics,
Engineering, as well as other quantitatively-oriented fields, are encouraged to apply for
admission.
Applicants should hold or be on their way to hold a graduate degree or equivalent.
The Bocconi PhD School offers at least 4 student positions with fellowship for the PhD in
Statistics and further positions with fellowship or tuition waiver are possibly available.
See the full official call ? attached ? or visit www.unibocconi.eu/admissionphd for all
information.
Applications are due by February 1st, 2018.
For more information about the program, its courses and the admission procedures, please feel free
to contact our Program Assistant at infophd(a)unibocconi.it or visit our website

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.
Cordiali saluti,
Laura Sangalli

Segnalo un bando open-rank per lecturer o professore associato presso il Financial Computing and Analytics Group, Department of Computer Science, University College London, con scadenza l’8 novembre 2017:
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BEO568/lecturer-senior-lecturer-in-financial-comp…
Per fare domanda occorre compilare un modulo web entro la mezzanotte dell'ora di Londra. Il posto al bando è uno, ma nel frattempo ne è diventato disponibile un altro; non mi è ancora chiaro se tale secondo posto possa essere ricoperto attingendo allo stesso bando preparato in precedenza per il primo, o se sarà necessario un ulteriore bando. In ogni caso consiglio di fare domanda.
L’insegnamento previsto è di due corsi di 30 ore l’uno per i MSc programmes
Computational Finance, http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/prospective_students/msc_computational_finance
Financial Risk Management, http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/prospective_students/msc_financial_risk_management
Financial Mathematics, http://www.ucl.ac.uk/maths/courses/msc-financial
I primi due sono amministrati dal Department of Computer Science e il terzo dal Department of Mathematics. È inoltre prevista la collaborazione con il Doctoral Training Centre in Financial Computing (in collaborazione coi dipartimenti di matematica di Imperial College e LSE) ed il Systemic Risk Centre (in cooperazione con la LSE: www.systemicrisk.ac.uk).

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.
