*Economics, Management and Data Science (EMDS) curriculum *
*within the 2016/17 PhD program at the IMT School for Advanced Studies
Lucca*
Perspective students should preferably have a master-level background in
economics, management science, physics, mathematics, statistics, computer
science, engineering or in a related field.
Under the Direction of Prof. Massimo Riccaboni, this curriculum provides
participants with a solid knowledge base in analytical methods in economics
and management science. With its multidisciplinary approach, the curriculum
is unique in its deployment of a strong integration of concepts, analytical
foundations, and practical expertise, to educate a new professional élite
with distinctive capabilities in analyzing, visualizing, interpreting, and
managing complex problems in economics and management. Graduates are
trained as future leaders in policy and industry.
Students are involved in the analysis of real world big/high dimensional
data, in collaboration with companies and institutions. The curriculum
relies on distinctive competences at IMT in economics, political economy,
management science and analytics, computer science, applied mathematics,
statistics, network theory, and system engineering/operation research.
Specific fields of study are economic networks and network industries;
healthcare and pharmaceuticals; systemic risk analysis; economics and
finance; political economy; organization, entrepreneurship, and technology;
strategy; marketing science; critical infrastructures; systems modeling and
optimization; stochastic systems; production and operations. Close
associations with a selected set of companies and institutions provide the
opportunity to analyze relevant problems, motivating new analytical
techniques from practical problem solving.
Courses are led by world-renowned researchers and provide students with all
the theoretical skills and advanced tools required for rigorously tackling
a multitude of analysis, design and management problems within the broad
framework of systems analysis in economic, social, scientific,
technological and cultural domains. Specialized faculty and staff create a
network that provides key guidance and support throughout the PhD Program.
Working closely with faculty, both in the classroom and in the development
of research, students reach the highest levels of scholarly achievement.
IMT School PhD graduates will be able to use the skills they acquired
during their studies to recognize and resolve complex problems, to choose
the most appropriate method or instrument to utilize when approaching these
problems, even in disciplines outside of their primary field of research.
All students are based in the recently restored San Francesco complex, a
fully integrated Campus in the historical center of the beautiful Tuscan
city of Lucca. The Campus includes renewed residential facilities, an
on-site canteen, study and living rooms, a state-of-the-art library and
outdoor recreational spaces, which foster a unique cultural, professional
and social environment for our doctoral program. Admitted students, in
addition to free room and board, will also receive a research scholarship

Titolo:
A Geometric Approach to Confidence Regions and Bands for Functional Parameters
Abstract:
Functional data analysis, FDA, is now a well established discipline of statistics, with its core concepts and perspectives in place. Despite this, there are still fundamental statistical questions which have received relatively little attention. One of these is the systematic development of techniques for constructing confidence regions for functional parameters. I will present new work that takes a geometric approach to developing, understanding, and visualizing such regions. Simulations and an application to Fractional Anisotropy will also be presented.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
Cordiali saluti,

Titolo:
Inference on covariance operators via concentration inequalities
Abstract:
Inference on covariance operators is an important part of functional
data analysis. Panaretos, Kraus, and Maddocks (2010) compare covariance
operators for Gaussian process data. Pigoli, Aston, Dryden, and Secchi
(2014) consider a variety of metrics over the space of covariance
operators. In this talk, we propose a novel approach to the analysis of
covariance operators making use of concentration inequalities. First,
non-asymptotic confidence sets are constructed for such operators. Then,
subsequent applications including a k sample test for equality of
covariance, a functional data classifier, and an
expectation-maximization style clustering algorithm are derived and
tested on both simulated and phoneme data.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Laura Sangalli

Title: Gaussian processes that are generalized quasi-helices and their
properties
Abstract:
We consider several problems for Gaussian processes which are, in some
sense, the generalizations of fractional Brownian motion. Three problems
are considered: the behavior of the maximal functionals, the
representation results and some statistical results. We investigate the
asymptotic behavior of maximal functionals under critical values of the
parameters of the corresponding quasi-helix, give the representations of
the random variables via the integration w.r.t. Gaussian processes and
explain how to construct and investigate unknown drift parameter
estimators in the SDE involving the general Gaussian processes.
Ore 15.30
Prof. Erik Schloegl

Title: Toward Quantifying Model Risk
Abstract: As a paper by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
put it in 2011, ?The use of models invariably presents model risk, which is the
potential for adverse consequences from decisions based on incorrect or misused
model outputs and reports.? However, there has been surprisingly little
research to date on quantifying this risk, or putting the analysis of this risk
on a more rigorous footing. This presentation discusses four types of model
risk encountered when using models for the pricing and risk management of
derivative financial instruments, and the relationship (and potential
trade-offs) between them. Secondly, we consider how one would go about
implementing the ?relative entropy? approach to model risk suggested by
Glasserman and Xu (2013) in this context, and how this may affect modelling
choices in practice.

We are happy to announce that Torino University and Politecnico from June
19 to June 22, 2017 will host the
*First Italian National Meeting on Probability and Mathematical
Statistics. *
Scientific Committee: Claudia Ceci, Franco Fagnola, Franco Flandoli, Paolo
Dai Pra, Antonio Lijoi,Franco Pellerey and Laura Sacerdote
Scope of the meeting is the scientific exchange between Italian
mathematicians working on the subject in Italy or abroad. We also welcome
talks from foreign researchers working in Italy. The participation is open
to any interested scientist who would like to partecipate.
The conference will include lectures of some "seniors" between us, but the
focus will be mainly on the work of new generations also through some
plenary lectures.
We also plan to reserve a space to discuss the future of our researches in
Italy.
We decide to call this meeting "First meeting" because it is the first
conference of this type, since 1998 and we hope it will become a habit in
our community.
We plan to prepare a web page for the meeting and we will give more details
on that page.
*Now, please, save the date on your agenda!*
We hope in your collaboration for the success on the initiative.

lieti di avere contributi da ricercatori stranieri che lavorino in Italia.
La partecipazione e' aperta a ogni scienziato interessato.
Il Convegno comprendera' conferenze di alcuni tra i più "senoir" tra di noi
ma il fuoco sara' diretto principalmente verso il lavoro delle nuove
generazioni, anche con alcune conferenze plenarie.
Pensiamo di riservare anche spazio a una discussione sul futuro delle
nostre ricerche in Italia.
Abbiamo pensato di chiamare questa conferenza "Prima Conferenza" perche' e'
la prima di questo tipo dal 1998 e speriamo che possa divenire un'abitudine
per la nostra comunita'.
Pensiamo di preparare una pagina web del convegno su cui daremo piu'
dettagli.
