Techniques, tools, approaches, and methodologies used for analyzing data and information 2. Statistical Analysis for big data 3. Data and knowledge modelling techniques 4. Stimulating innovation and improving performance through statistical data analysis 5. Value of data for new business models, products, and services 6. Data management as a driver of performance and competitiveness 7. Value co-creation through data and information exchange 8. Transforming the value of data using real time analytics 9. Business optimization techniques through data analysis 10. Decision making process in the big data era 11. Role of statistical models in unlocking the value of web data 12. Real time analytics 13. Privacy, security, and intellectual property issues in the era of big data. ### Submission guidelines: Original research papers will be considered. ### Important Dates: Abstract submission: 20th March, 2014 (extended to 15th April, 2014) Review decisions sent to authors: 30th April 2014 Full paper submission: 30th July, 2014 ### Further Information: For further information, please contact: ejasa(a)unisalento.it or visit http://siba-ese.unisalento.it/index.php/ejasa_dss/announcement/view/21 Stefano ps: Com'on statisticians!

For such fields, we consider smoothed polynomial transforms, such as those arising from local estimates of angular power spectra and bispectra; we focus on the geometry of their excursion sets, and we study their asymptotic behaviour, in the high-frequency sense. Our main technical tools are recent results on Malliavin calculus and Total Variation bounds for Gaussian subordinated fields by Nourdin and Peccati, and the Gaussian Kinematic Formula by Adler and Taylor, which we shall review briefly in the talk. We put particular emphasis on the analysis of Euler-Poincaré characteristics, which can be exploited to derive extremely accurate estimates for excursion probabilities. The present analysis is motivated by the statistical investigation of asymmetries and anisotropies in Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) data. Based on joint work with Sreekar Vadlamani Part II: Stein-Malliavin Approximations for Needlets Polyspectra Valentina Cammarota We provide quantitative Central Limit Theorems, in the high frequency limit, for nonlinear transforms of spherical wavelets/needlets random fields, which are of immediate interest for spherical data analysis. In particular, we focus on so-called needlets polyspectra, which are popular tools for nonGaussianity analysis in the cosmological community, and on the area of excursion sets. Our results are based on Stein-Maliavin approximations for nonlinear transforms of Gaussian fields, and on an explicit derivation on the high-frequency limit of the fields' variances, which may have some independent interest. Based on joint work with Domenico Marinucci Part III: Normal Approximations for Linear and U-Statistics on Spherical Poisson Fields Claudio Durastanti We review a recent stream of research on Normal approximations for linear and U-statistics of wavelets/needlets coefficients evaluated on a homogeneous spherical Poisson fi...eld. We show how exploting results from Peccati and Zheng (2011), based on Malliavin calculus and Stein''s methods, it is possible to assess the rate of convergence to Gaussianity for a triangular array of statistics with growing dimensions. These results can be exploited in a number of statistical applications, such as spherical density estimations, searching for point sources, estimation of variance and the spherical two-sample problem. Based on joint work with Solesne Bourguin, Domenico Marinucci and Giovanni Peccati. [View Less]
