Carey, Channing Laboratory, Harvard Medical School (USA) Michael Love, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Harvard School of Public Health (USA) Simon Anders, European Molecular Biology Laboratory Mark Robinson, University of Zurich (CH) Laurent Gatto, University of Cambridge (UK) Paul Pyl, University of Copenhagen (DK) The one-week intensive course “Statistics and Computing in Genome Data Science” teaches statistical and computational analysis of multi-omics studies in biology and biomedicine. It covers the underlying theory and state of the art (the morning lectures), and practical hands-on exercises based on the R / Bioconductor environment (the afternoon labs). The course covers the primary analysis (“preprocessing”) of high-throughput sequencing based assays in functional genomics (transcriptomics, epigenetics, etc.) as well as integrative methods including efficiently operating with genomic intervals, statistical testing, linear models, machine learning, bioinformatic annotation and visualization. At the end of the course, you should be able to run analysis workflows on your own (multi-)omic data, adapt and combine different tools, and make informed and scientifically sound choices about analysis strategies. Topics include: * Introduction to Bioconductor * Elements of statistics: hypothesis testing, multiple testing, regression, regularization, clustering and classification (machine learning), visualization * Computing with sequences and genomic intervals * RNA-Seq data analysis and differential expression * ChIP-Seq and epigenetics * Integrating DNA variant calls with functional data, and large-scale efficient computation with genomic intervals * Working with annotation – genes, genomic features and variants * Metagenomics and proteomics primers * Single-cell RNA-Seq primer * Interactive displays with Shiny The course consists of * morning lectures: 20 x 45 minutes: Monday to Friday 8:30am - 12:00am * 4 practical computer tutorials in the afternoons (2pm - 5pm) on Monday, Tuesday,Thursday and Friday Registration: Visit our website at: http://www-huber.embl.de/csama ----------------------------------- Stefano M.

Seminario di Ilaria Peri presso Prometeia - Bologna
by Giacomo Scandolo 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Il giorno Giovedì 12 Febbraio 2015, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna Ilaria PERI (ESC Rennes School of Business) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Lambda value at risk: a new backtestable alternative to VaR" Abstract A new risk measure, the lambda value at risk (ΛVaR), has been recently proposed from a theoretical point of view as an immediate generalization of the value at risk (VaR). The ΛVaR appears to be attractive for its potential ability to solve several problems of the VaR. This paper presents the first empirical application of the ΛVaR to equity markets. Our benchmark approach reveals that the ΛVaR is able to capture extreme downward scenarios and react to market fluctuations significantly faster than the VaR and expected shortfall. In addition, we show that the ΛVaR satisfies the elicitability property under general conditions. This property guarantees proper backtesting and statistically meaningful comparisons among ΛVaR and VaR. Hence, we perform a backtesting exercise by adapting the VaR hypothesis-testing framework. The results display a higher level of accuracy for our ΛVaR calibrations. Our comparative analysis also shows that ΛVaR performs better than VaR.

[random] PhD position in Poitiers (France) in probability/statistics, application for scholarship before 31 March 2015
by Pierre-Yves Louis 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Dear Colleagues, Please forward this announcement to interested master students and potential candidates. ========================================================== PhD POSITIONS are available at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques et Applications, UMR 7348 University of Poitiers and CNRS (France) http://www.univ-poitiers.fr/home-750171.kjsp?RH=1328179805685&RF=1328179651… http://rech-math.sp2mi.univ-poitiers.fr/en/index.shtml Applications for PhD candidates in applied probability and statistics are welcome. There is a possibility to work under the supervision of Pierre-Yves LOUIS http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/ around the topic: Stochastic dynamics for large networks Stochastic models are nowadays of main interest in several applicative fields: ecology, population biology, wildfire, social networks. More individual specificities of constituting entities (sites) can be considered. A global macroscopic state emerges from the sites’ interaction. These individually-based models are following the micro/macro description workflow defining the statistical mechanics scientific field. A large, possibly infinite, number of sites is considered. These interacting dynamical systems motivate theoretical, numerical and applied challenges. These systems of stochastic processes may be used also to sample from random fields on complicated structures as the one considered in biology. Monte-Carlo methods are used to solve related statistical questions. The PhD thesis will consider one of the following topics which are strongly related to complex systems in computer science, statistical physics and computational biology. The PhD candidate has the opportunity to choose between the following challenging projects: - Interacting Stochastic Dynamics on trees - Stochastic algorithms, Gibbs sampling - Application of stochastic methods to data classification ======================== Application deadline: 31 March 2015 through http://s2i.ed.univ-poitiers.fr/dv_demarrer_une_these/recrutement-demarrer-u… AND please contact Pierre-Yves Louis as soon as possible Please send one pdf with your resume, and possibly a list of taken courses with grades, a copy of your master thesis and at least two names as references to pierre-yves.louis(a)math.cnrs.fr ======================== For more details please see the pdf-file http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/proposition_sujet_these_2015_LOUIS_fr.pdf and for the application procedure to http://s2i.ed.univ-poitiers.fr/dv_demarrer_une_these/recrutement-demarrer-u… ======================== Requirements You have an MSc in mathematics, with a proven interest in probability theory and statistics. Candidates with background in computational physics, computer science, mathematical biology, computational biology may be considered. ======================== Conditions of employment You will be appointed for a period of 3 years through a PhD scholarship starting 1. September 2015 minimal income : 1684,93 EUR gross/month ======================== For more information and applications please contact pierre-yves.louis(a)math.cnrs.fr Best regards, Pierre-Yves LOUIS. pierre-yves.louis(a)math.cnrs.fr http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/
