Seminario
by Tiziano Vargiolu 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

(scusandomi in anticipo per eventuali ripetizioni) ANNUNCIO DI SEMINARIO Il Prof. GEORGE YIN della Wayne State University di Detroit terra' il seguente seminario il lunedi' 9 dicembre alle ore 11.30 nella sala riunioni del VII piano, scala B, del Dipartimento di Matematica, via Trieste 63, Padova: Titolo: SWITCHING DIFFUSION SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS ABSTRACT: Numerous problems in control and optimization require the treatment of systems in which continuous dynamics and discrete events coexist. The discrete component is represented by a random jump process with a finite state space, and the continuous component is the solution of a stochastic differential equation. Seemingly similar to diffusions, the processes have a number of salient features distinctly different from diffusion processes. After providing motivational examples arising from wireless communications, identification, finance, singular perturbed Markovian systems, manufacturing, and consensus controls, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of unique invariant measure, stability, stabilization, and numerical solutions of control and game problems.

seminario Giovanni Puccetti in Bicocca
by Fabio Bellini 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Il giorno martedì 3 dicembre alle ore 14.30 presso la aula seminari del Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi della Università di Milano Bicocca, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il dott. Giovanni Puccetti della Università di Firenze terrà un seminario su The Rearrangement Algorithm: a new tool for computing bounds on risk measures Abstract: We introduce a numerical algorithm which allows for the computation of sharp upper and lower bounds on the Value-at-Risk or on the Expected Shortfall of high-dimensional risk portfolios having fixed marginal distributions. These bounds can be interpreted as a measure of model uncertainty induced by possible dependence scenarios. We also illustrate several recent applications of the algorithm to quantitative risk management and applied probability. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Avviso di seminario :: Sartori@DSS (Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza)
by Pierpaolo Brutti 25 Nov '13

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venerdì 29 Novembre, ore 11am ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanza 34 Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma NICOLA SARTORI (Dip. di Scienze Statistiche, Università degli Studi di Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo DIRECTIONAL INFERENCE FOR VECTOR PARAMETERS tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maggiori informazioni sui seminari presso il DSS sono consultabili a quest'indirizzo: http://goo.gl/Y6OQYm Saluti Pierpaolo Brutti - Fulvio De Santis --- Summary We consider inference on a vector-valued parameter of interest in a linear exponential family, in the presence of a finite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Based on higher order asymptotic theory for likelihood, we propose a directional test whose p-value is computed using one-dimensional integration. For discrete responses this extends the development of Davison et al. (2006), and some of our examples concern testing in contingency tables. For continuous responses the work extends the directional test of Cheah et al. (1994). Examples and simulations illustrate the high accuracy of the method, which we compare with the usual likelihood ratio test and with an adjusted version due to Skovgaard (2001). In high-dimensional settings, such as covariance selection, the approach works essentially perfectly, whereas its competitors can fail catastrophically. Extensions to non-linear exponential families and to general models are also sketched (joint with A.C. Davison, D.A.S. Fraser, N. Reid).
