******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Veberdi 16 Ottobre 2015 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: David ROSSELL (University of Warwick) CONSISTENCY OF POSTERIOR MODEL PROBABILITIES IN HIGH-DIMENSIONAL MODEL SELECTION Abstract: In recent years there has been an increasing interest in developing Bayesian formulations that remain effective in high-dimensional and non-standard problems. We focus on high-dimensional model selection problems where the number of parameters may grow with the sample size, and review results characterizing the situations under which one can hope for the posterior probability assigned to the data-generating truth to eventually converge to 1 (often termed "strong consistency"). As it turns out, under certain regularity conditions for the canonical linear model such consistency can only be achieved if the prior formulation is based on so-called non-local priors. We will review the non-local prior framework and present some recent extensions for high-dimensional estimation. Our theoretical and empirical results show that inducing model selection parsimony via non-local priors allows working with simpler models and improving prediction accuracy simultaneously. Although for simplicity we shall focus on variable selection settings, time allowing we will touch upon extensions to more complex settings such as graphical models or mixture models. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

mini-corso Ruodu Wang in Bicocca
by runggal＠math.unipd.it 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Nell'ambito del programma di internazionalizzazione del Dottorato in Statistica e Matematica per la Finanza della Bicocca, il prof. Ruodu Wang del Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science della University of Waterloo terrà nei giorni 9,10 e 11 novembre un mini-corso su Risk aggregation and Fréchet problems Fréchet problems refer to questions related to an aggregation (sum, typically) of several random variables, where the marginal distribution of each individual random variable is known and the joint distribution (copula) is unspecific. Unfortunately (in fact, fortunately), a large number of questions in this field are still mathematically open. In the modeling of risk aggregation, individual risks and their dependence structure are often modeled separately, leading to uncertainty arising at the level of a joint model. As the dependence structure is typically uncertain, the study on quantitative characteristics (e.g. risk measures) of risk aggregation under model uncertainty leads to a variety of Frèchet problems. This course covers various topics in this quickly expanding field. The content is mainly based on recent research of the instructor and his collaborators. Le lezioni si svolgeranno dalle ore 14.30 alle 17.30 presso la Sala del Consiglio al IV piano dell'edificio U7.

******************************************************************** SEMINARI per i corsi di Laurea in Economia Aziendale (triennale) Economia delle Risorse Naturali e Culturali (magistrale) ******************************************************************** Mercoledi' 14 Ottobre 2015 alle ore 9:30 presso l'Aula 10 del Dipartimento di Matematica, Informatica ed Economia, Campus Macchia Romana, Universita' degli Studi della Basilicata Prof. Henry Wynn (Department of Statistics, London School of Economics) "What is learning? A Bayesian approach" Abstract: Simple examples show that data can contradict prior beliefs; one can be "surprised". But theoretically one always expects to learn in a well-defined way and the class of information functionals for which this is true is known and includes Shannon information. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Elvira Di Nardo -- ...................................................... Elvira Di Nardo Dept.

Seminario Prof. D. De Canditiis (presso Dip. Scienze Statistiche, Roma)
by Alessandro Degregorio 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giovedì 8 Ottobre, ore 10,30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stanza 34 Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Sapienza" Università di Roma Prof. D. De Canditiis (CNR-IAC) Titolo: *Stima della densità dell'intensità di dati Poisson* Sintesi: Motivati dall'analisi di dati astronomici di tipo conteggio si presenterà un metodo per la stima della f.d.p. (funzione densità di probabiltà) della intensità di dati di tipo Poisson. La necessità di dare all'intensità un carattere stocastico nasce dall'esigenza di modellizzare una extra-variabilità contenuta nei dati. Le difficoltà della stima della f.d.p. sono assimilabili a quelle della soluzione (numerica) di un problema inverso lineare mal-posto. La soluzione, intesa come uno stimatore della f.d.p, ha ottime proprietà di convergenza. La metodologia verrà presentata in termini generali e dunque può essere presa come spunto per la risoluzione di altri problemi di analisi dati anche non necessariamente di tipo conteggio. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti Alessandro De Gregorio
