SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 14 Aprile 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Peter Grunwald* (CWI and Universitet Leiden, Netherlands) Title: *E is for Evidence* Abstract: How much evidence do the data give us about one hypothesis versus another? The standard way to measure evidence is still the p-value, despite a myriad of problems surrounding it. We present the e-value, a recently popularized notion of evidence which overcomes some of these issues. While e-values were only given a name as recently as 2019, interest in them has since exploded with papers in the Annals, JRSS B, Biometrika and the like – June 2022 saw the first international workshop on e-values, a second one is planned. In simple cases, e-values coincide with Bayes factors. But if the null is composite or nonparametric, or an alternative cannot be explicitly formulated, e-values and Bayes factors become distinct and e-processes can be seen as a generalization of nonnegative supermartingales. Thus, unlike the Bayes factor, e-values always allow for tests with strict frequentist Type-I error control under optional continuation of data collection and combination of data from different sources. E-values are also the basic building blocks of anytime-valid confidence intervals that remain valid under continuous monitoring and optional stopping. In parametric settings they tend to be strictly wider than, hence consistent with Bayesian credible intervals. This led to the development of the e-posterior, an analogue to the Bayesian posterior that gets wider rather than wrong if the prior is chosen badly. This work is based on: P. Grunwald,. R. de Heide, W. Koolen (2023). Safe Testing. To appear in J. Roy. Stat. Soc., Series B P. Grunwald (2023) . The E-Posterior. Proc. Phil. Trans. Soc.

OWPS Tomorrow: Fabio Toninelli and Giuseppe Cannizzaro
by Alberto Chiarini 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Dear all, A reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday), from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (17:00 to 19:00 Central European Time), Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) and Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) will be speaking at the One World Probability Seminar. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. We kindly ask that you share this message within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) Title : Out-of-equilibrium phenomena, stochastic PDEs and Gaussian limits Abstract : I will report on mathematical progress on certain (non-linear, singular) stochastic PDEs that model effectively the mesoscopic behaviour of some out-of-equilibrium physical systems, most notably stochastic interface growth and driven diffusive systems. Scaling and Renormalization Group arguments suggest that, above the critical dimension d=2, the large-scale behaviour of these equations should be Gaussian. Our results imply, indeed, Gaussian scaling limits in dimension d\ge 3 (for driven diffusive systems) and also, at least in the regime of weak non-linearity, in the critical dimension d=2 (both for driven diffusive systems and for the Anisotropic KPZ equation). Talk : Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title : Weak coupling scaling of critical SPDEs Abstract : The study of stochastic PDEs has known tremendous advances in recent years and, thanks to Hairer's theory of regularity structures and Gubinelli and Perkowski's paracontrolled approach, (local) existence and uniqueness of solutions of subcritical SPDEs is by now well-understood. The goal of this talk is to move beyond the aforementioned theories and present novel tools to derive the scaling limit (in the so-called weak coupling scaling) for certain stationary SPDEs at the critical dimension. Our techniques are inspired by the resolvent method developed by Landim, Olla, Yau, Ramirez, and many others, in the context of particle systems in the supercritical dimension and might be well-suited to study a much wider class of statistical mechanics models at criticality.

SPASS Seminar: Riccardo Montalto
by Francesco Grotto 31 Mar '23

31 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Construction on quasi-periodic nonlinear waves in fluid mechanics,* Riccardo Montalto (Milano Statale). The seminar will take place on TUE, 4.4.2023 at 13:30 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. *Please notice that the seminar will take place half an hour earlier than usual.* The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk I will discuss some recent results on Euler and Navier Stokes equations concerning the construction of quasi-periodic solutions and the problem of the inviscid limit for the Navier Stokes equation. I will discuss the following results:* *1) Construction of quasi-periodic solutions for the Euler equation with a time quasi-periodic external force, bifurcating from a constant, diophantine velocity field;2) I shall discuss the inviscid limit problem from the perspective of KAM theory, namely I shall prove the existence of quasi-periodic solutions of the Navier Stokes equation converging to the one of the Euler equation constructed in 1) . The main difficulty is that this is a singular limit problem. We overcome this difficulty by implementing a normal form methods which allow to prove sharp estimates (global in time) w.r. to the viscosity parameter;3) (time permitting) I also discuss the construction of quasi-periodic traveling waves bifurcating from the Couette flow for the autonomous 2D Euler equation.These works are based on collaborations with Luca Franzoi and Nader Masmoudi. *
