SEMINAR IN DECISION SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE March 15th from 14:30 to 15:30 in room 204 LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma (note the change of time and room) Title of the talk: Asymptotic Lower Bounds for Optimal Tracking: a Linear Programming Approach Speaker: Peter Tankov (Universite Paris Diderot -- Paris 7) Abstract We consider the problem of tracking a target whose dynamics is modeled by a continuous Ito semi-martingale. The aim is to minimize both deviation from the target and tracking efforts. We establish the existence of asymptotic lower bounds for this problem, depending on the cost structure. These lower bounds can be related to the time-average control of Brownian motion, which is characterized as a deterministic linear programming problem. A comprehensive list of examples with explicit expressions for the lower bounds is provided.

de Finetti risk seminar - March 2016
by Emanuela Rosazza 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture TITLE: Set-valued portfolios and set-valued risks Ilya Molchanov University of Bern, Switzerland ABSTRACT: Using the concept of set-valued portfolios, it is possible to incorporate dependencies between the distribution of the multivariate gain and the exchange rules. The set-valued portfolio is considered acceptable if it possesses a selection (i.e. a random vector that alsmost surely belongs to it) with all individually acceptable components. The corresponding set-valued risk measure is said to be a selection risk measure. The talk surveys its main properties, discusses the primal and dual representation, gives examples, and shows how to approximate its values from below and from above using rather elementary arguments. Applications of selection risk measures to the practical risk assessment are also presented. A special attention is paid to applications of selection risk measures to risk assessment of financial groups. Joint work with I. Cascos (Madrid), A. Haier (Bern), M. Schmutz (Bern). LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 16, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ.

SEMINAR IN DECISION SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma Title of the talk: A general theory for Bayesian inference with linked and duplicated data Speaker: Brunero Liseo (Sapienza Università di Roma) on March 8th from 12:00 to 13:00 in room 207 Abstract Record linkage is a statistical method which aims at identifying whether two or more records refer to the same statistical entity or not. Duplications of the same entity within one single source or across different files may be interpreted as “clusters of records”, showing strong similarities across their fields. In this paper we frame the record linkage process into a formal Bayesian clustering model and we investigate the role of species sampling models as prior distributions for the clustering structure. In fact the different latent entities underlying one or more data sources can be treated as the sampled species and the observed records as noisy measurements of their features. We also discuss an important issue in the clustering approach to entity resolution, that is the need to bound the clusters sizes even for large data sets. The proposed statistical models will be used both in a classical record linkage scenario and in the more complex framework of multiple duplications on the same data source and will serve as supporting models for Bayesian regression analyses with linked data. Key words: Species Sampling, Latent structure, Hit and Miss Algorithm, Clustering. References 1. Tancredi, A. and Liseo, B.

Short Course 2016: "COPULAS FOR HYDROLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES"
by Gianfausto SALVADORI 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

**************** Dear Colleagues, all interested people (especially PhD and Post-doc students) are kindly invited to attend the following Short Course [details are given below]: "COPULAS FOR HYDROLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES" *** PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS MAIL TO ALL INTERESTED PEOPLE: *** the DEADLINE is getting closer and closer. THANKS. _______________________________________________________________ Short Course "COPULAS FOR HYDROLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES" @ "Centro Studi Alpino" of the University of Tuscia (Italy) Pieve Tesino (Italy), July 24-30, 2016 The Instructors are top scientists in the fields of Copulas and Environmental Applications. The international event is organized by the INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON STATISTICAL HYDROLOGY. For all participants, attendance certificates/credits will be provided. *** SCOPE *** The statistical modeling of natural events frequently involves the modeling of the joint distribution of several random phenomena. Copulas are mathematical objects that are particularly suitable for modeling the multivariate dependence between several continuous random variables, independently of their marginal distributions. This explains why they are more and more often used in hydrology and environmental sciences. With the development of powerful statistical software (such as the R statistical system), a multivariate analysis based on copulas appears increasingly feasible. This one-week short course will focus on the theory and statistical practice of copulas with applications to hydrological problems and related environmental issues. It will also contain an introduction to multivariate extreme-value theory from a copula perspective. Theoretical concepts will be illustrated through the analysis of real-world datasets using the R statistical system. *** VENUE *** "Centro Studi Alpino" of the University of Tuscia (Italy) Pieve Tesino (Italy), July 24-30, 2016 *** WEB SITE *** http://www.stahy.org/Events/2016CopulaShortCourse/tabid/120/Default.aspx ____________________________________________________ Gianfausto SALVADORI ____________________________________________________ Università del Salento Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica "E.

Cari tutti, Mercoledì 3 febbraio 2016, alle ore 11:30 presso l'aula Seminari del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Pisa, il professor Massimiliano Gubinelli (Institute of Applied Mathematics, University of Bonn) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Weak universality of the stationary KPZ equation". Abstract: I will discuss a notion of solution for the KPZ equation which has been introduced by Jara and Gonçalves (2010) and later improved by Jara and myself (2013) and goes under the name of energy solutions. In a recent work in collaboration with Perkowski we have recently obtained a uniqueness results for energy solutions. Using energy solutions is possible to prove weak universality results for KPZ: namely that a wide class of one dimensional microscopic interacting particle models with weak asymmetry and in non-equilibrium stationary states have large scale fluctuations described by the KPZ equation. A seguire, nella stessa aula il dottor Michele Coghi (Scuola Normale Superiore) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Mean field limit of interacting filaments and vector valued non linear PDEs". Abstract: Families of N interacting curves are considered, with long range, mean-field type, interaction. A family of curves defines a 1-current, concentrated on the curves, analog of the empirical measure of interacting point particles. This current is proved to converge, as N goes to infinity, to a mean field current, solution of a nonlinear, vector valued, partial differential equation. In the limit, each curve interacts with the mean field current and two different curves have an independence property if they are independent at time zero. This set-up is inspired from vortex filaments in turbulent fluids, although for technical reasons we have to restrict to smooth interaction, instead of the singular Biot-Savart kernel. All these results are based on a careful analysis of a nonlinear flow equation for 1-currents, its relation with the vector valued PDE and the continuous dependence on the initial conditions terrà un seminario dal titolo Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di Silvia Zuffi presso IMATI-Milano
by Antonella Bodini 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Mercoledi' 2 marzo alle ore 11 presso la sala A dell'Area di Ricerca 1 di Milano, via Corti 12, la Dottoressa Silvia Zuffi (ITC-CNR) terra' il seguente seminario: TITOLO: MAP Inference in Probabilistic Graphical Models ABSTRACT: Molti problemi di interesse scientifico ammettono una rappresentazione mediante modelli probabilistici in cui la probabilita’ congiunta delle variabili aleatorie puo’ essere rappresentata mediante un modello grafico. Tali rappresentazioni sono vantaggiose sia in fase di apprendimento del modello che in fase di inferenza delle variabili date le osservazioni. Metodi di computazione distribuita come l’algoritmo Belief Propagation sono efficacemente applicati in modelli a variabili discrete o che ammettono una discretizzazione dello spazio delle variabili. In caso di problemi ad alta dimensionalita’ e/o con variabili continue, dove una discretizzazione dello spazio non e’ computazionalmente affrontabile, un approccio comune e’ ricorrere a metodi non parametrici, ed eseguire una stima della soluzione a posteriori piu’ probabile. Per problemi ad alta dimensionalita’ tali algoritmi sono dipendenti dall’inizializzazione e possono convergere a singoli massimi locali. Nella presentazione illustrero’ un algoritmo per inferenza della soluzione MAP (maximum-a-posteriori) in modelli grafici probabilistici ad alta dimensionalita’, detto “Diverse Particle Max Product” (DPMP). DPMP a differenza di formulazioni precedenti e’ meno sensibile all’inizializzazione ed in grado di mantenere molteplici ipotesi.

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

15^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2016 */New CREDIT SOLUTIONS for THE REAL ECONOMY and their IMPLICATIONS for INVESTORS, FINANCIAL STABILITY and POLICY DESIGN / *Venice, Italy 6 - 7 October 2016 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), *Research Center SAFE *at Goethe University Frankfurt (Frankfurt, Germany), the *European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on October 6-7, 2016. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank*, is the *fifteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. The banking industry has traditionally been shaped by the interplay between innovations and regulatory trends. The global and sovereign-debt crisis we have observed from 2007 and the harsher regulatory reaction have impacted on banks capacity and willingness to direct financial flows to the real economy in appropriate amounts. The result has been an extremely feeble, and slow creditless recovery, that not even the pursuit of a historically low interest-rate monetary policy and QE appear so far capable of influencing. The markets reaction to this state of affairs has been to develop alternative or complementary ways to commercial banking to channel funds where needed, that is to households, firms and infrastructure projects. Examples are (i) alternative financing solutions: mini-bonds, SME guarantees, Start-up and Venture Capital/Private Equity, Business Angel financing, payment-by-result bonds, securitization, microfinance and (ii) Digital finance like P2P lending and crowdfunding, The European Commissions with the Capital Market Union project plan to foster the diversification of funding sources for enterprises, in particular SMEs. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * How alternative and digital financing interplay with the standard funding channels? * Are alternative financing and financial innovations socially useful and valuable in solving the problem of supplying quality resources to the most vulnerable, financially deprived (e.g. households; start-ups; young entrepreneurs) and growth-enhancing (e.g. SMEs; infrastructures) sectors of the economy, thereby supporting social inclusion, sustainable growth and employment? * Do alternative and digital financial products and credit innovations offer an attractive risk/reward trade-off to potential investors, be consistent with their ALM requirements, yield expectations, risk appetite and wealth preserving objectives. * What should be the role of the public sector in promoting the emergence and development of alternative financing channels for the real economy? * What is the role of innovative monetary policies (QE) in promoting these alternative and digital financing channels for the real economy? * Do alternative and digital financing channels pose the same or bigger potential threats to financial stability? Should they be covered by adequate supervisory frameworks, or else justifiably expect a more lenient treatment? The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca Foscari University of Venice, SAFE, Goethe University Frankfurt & GRETA,**Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo *(JRC Unit Financial and Economic Analysis) *Marco Da Rin *(Tilburg University) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(Head EIFs Research & Market Analysis) *Jan Peter Krahnen *(SAFE & Goethe University Frankfurt) *Adair Morse *(Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, SFI & CEPR) *Steven Schaefer *(London Business School) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received from invited speakers include *Franklin Allen *(Brevan Howard Centre, Imperial College London), *Thomas Hellman *(Oxford Said Business School) and *Adair Morse *(Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems. Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 15, 2016 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *July 15, 2016*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2016.

********************************************************************* SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA "G. PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* giovedì 3 Marzo 2016 alle ore 15:00 in Aula C presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. FRANCO FLANDOLI (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Commenti teorici ed applicativi su sistemi di particelle e loro limiti al continuo in oncologia matematica e clinica" Sommario: Un problema importante di oncologia clinica consiste nella scelta tra numerosi regimi chemioterapici. Un primo modello matematico che verrà mostrato nel seminario, modello molto semplificato e basato su semplici equazioni differenziali e processi a salto, può essere un prototipo di simulatore dell'efficacia di alcuni regimi. Tra gli altri, due problemi che sorgono in tali modelli semplificati sono la giustificazione delle equazioni usate e la caratterizzazione, magari con incertezza, delle costanti. Il seminario mostrerà allora alcuni ragionamenti che collegano il modello semplificato a modelli più complessi a scala cellulare, creando un ponte tra diverse costanti dei due modelli. Infine, tra gli innumerevoli problemi di rigore matematico originati da questi collegamenti, ne verrà affrontato uno. Esso riguarda la dimostrazione rigorosa che un certo meccanismo proliferativo a scala cellulare origini un determinato termine nonlineare a livello di una classe di equazioni alle derivate parziali che, sempre entro ampi limiti di approssimazione, possono essere utilizzate per descrivere l'evoluzione spazio-temporale di una densità di cellule proliferanti. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Federico Polito Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto, 10 10123, Torino, Italy Email: federico.polito(a)unito.it Tel: +39 011 6702937 Web: www.federicopolito.it

Alberto Bressan seminar [ Comp.Science Dept. ; Verona University ; 7th of March, 2016 ]
by Luca di persio 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Prof. Alberto Bressan [ The Pennsylvania State University ], will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of the University of Verona (Strada le Grazie, 15, Verona) the next 7th of March (2016), where he will give the following seminar *Non cooperative Differential Games * scheduled at the *Green Hall*, *starting from 15:45*, with the following *abstract* The theory of noncooperative games provides a mathematical tool to describe interactions between two or more agents with different goals. It has found widespread applications in economics and management science. The first part of this talk will review the basic definitions of Nash and Stackelberg solutions, based on the concept of "best reply". For games in continuous time, equilibrium solutions can be found by studying a particular system of Partial Differential Equations. Within the talk, I shall explain how to derive these PDEs, and what are the main difficulties toward their solution. Some current research directions will be discussed, together with applications. As an example, I shall present a model of optimal debt management, viewed as a noncooperative game between a borrower and a pool of lenders. *Here you can find more details*: http://www.di.univr.it/?ent=seminario&af=2017&ai=2015&gf=15&gi=15&id=3515&i… Do not hesitate to contact me for further infos: luca.dipersio(a)univr.it Best, LuCa __ Luca Di Persio - PhD assistant professor of Probability and Mathematical Finance Dept.

Apologies for cross posting --------------------------------- SEMINARIO DI MATEMATICA APPLICATA Giovedi 25 Febbraio 2016, ore 10.30 Aula Rappresentanza, Dipartimento di Matematica (Via Saldini 50, Milano) Robust statistical techniques for the analysis of high dimensional gene expression data Dr. Aurora Torrente Gregorio Millan Institute Escuela Politecnica Superior Universidad Carlos III de Madrid ABSTRACT Microarray and Next Generation Sequencing experiments provide data on the expression level of thousands of genes simultaneously, suggesting several serious challenges in the pre-processing, management and analysis of these high dimensional datasets. In this talk, we will describe some robust statistical tools, based on the concept of functional data depth, which measures the centrality of a function within a sample. These techniques include, for example, the scale curve, as a way to visualise the dispersion of a set of multivariate observations, and supervised classifications techniques, to assign new observations to one of a given set of (known) groups. When these tools make use of the so-called Modified Band Depth, adapted to high-dimensional data, they prove to be very efficient and of low computational cost, specially when a suitable implementation is considered. The use of these techniques will be illustrated on real gene expression data.

Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, La Dott.ssa MARTA PITTAVINO (University of Zurich) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Modelling multivariate data with additive Bayesian networks" Abstract: Bayesian networks are a form of graphical model which derives from empirical data a directed acyclic graph describing the dependency structure between random variables. Especially, additive Bayesian networks (ABNs) extend the usual generalized linear models to multiple dependent variables without involving dimension reduction. Existing software for working with ABNs are useful for dealing with these models for heterogeneous applications in systems epidemiology and biology. However, limitations in terms of computation and feasibility can be still open challenges. In this talk, an introduction to ABN model will be provided, together with a description of the R package abn, whereby applications of these models to systems epidemiology and biology are showed. Moreover, a theoretical development will be presented as an initial step to overcome open questions. Specifically, the result of fitting an ABN to a data set is translated into optimizing the likelihood of observing the data under the studied model: the marginal likelihood (ABN network score). A novel conjugate prior distribution for ABNs models is introduced that helps us to address the goodness of fit computation and the posterior parameter estimation.

TIME-VARYING SIS PREVALENCE IN NETWORKS: THEORY AND A NEW APPROXIMATE FORMULA 25 febbraio 2016 *Luogo:* Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Aula Seminari *Ore* 10:00 *Relatore:* - *Piet Van Mieghem** (*TU Delft Olanda*)* *Abstract: * Currently, epidemic spreading processes on networks are popular to model diffusion phenomena in real-world networks. After reviewing some basics about the continuous-time SIS Markov process on networks, we will focus on the prevalence, the average fraction of infected nodes in the network. Based on a recent exact differential equation containing the Laplacian matrix of the underlying graph, the time dependence of the SIS prevalence is first studied and then upper and lower bounded by a new, explicit analytic function of time. Our new approximate formula obeys a Riccati differential equation and bears resemblence to the classical expression in epidemiology of Kermack and McKendrick (1927), but enhanced with graph specific properties, such as the algebraic connectivity, the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian of the graph. A comparison with the N-Interwined Mean-Field Approximation (NIMFA) and simulations of the exact continuous-time Markovian SIS process on a graph exhibit the accuracy and the potential of the new analytic formula. *Referente: *Stefano Bonaccorsi

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. ******************************************* A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ******************************************* *Martedì 9 Febbraio 2016*,*ore 15:30 precise* Aula Dottorato, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' degli Studi di Milano via C. Saldini 50, Milano il Professor *Paulo R. Rios*(Universidade Federal Fluminense, Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) terrà un seminario dal titolo *PROBABILISTIC COMPUTER SIMULATION OF MARTENSITE* ABSTRACT: In bulk polycrystalline materials, the first nucleation event of a martensite plate within a single grain may induce transformation in one or more neighboring grains, resulting in a cluster of partially transformed grains: 'the spread event'. The collection of these single spread events can be defined as the 'spread' or 'martensite spread'. First, in this paper, martensite spreads are analyzed to estimate the mean number of partially transformed grains in a single spread event. Secondly, taking the quantitative knowledge gained from this analysis as a starting point, a computer simulation of the martensite spread is proposed. This computer simulation is carried out in a 3-d network of space-filling grains represented as Kelvin polyhedra and is based on a probabilistic approach. The experimental and simulation results are presented, compared and discussed. We conclude that the probabilistic computer simulation of martensite spread could successfully describe important quantitative aspects of martensite spread Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
