ISIPTA 2019 - Call for papers
by Serena Doria 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

ISIPTA 2019: there?s more to uncertainty than probabilities! What if we told you that ?There?s more to uncertainty than probabilities.? Would you agree? Would you object? Are you intrigued? Regardless of the answer, you have a place at, and are invited to submit a paper to, ISIPTA 2019, the 20-year anniversary edition of the world?s main forum on imprecise probabilities. Already convinced? Then come to Ghent, Belgium, 3-6 July 2019, and take a look at the following website for any and all details you might require: http://isipta2019.ugent.be. Not convinced yet? Then perhaps the following features can convince you: Topic: ISIPTA 2019 is devoted to robustness and imprecision in uncertainty modelling, inference and decision making, focusing in particular on uncertainty frameworks that extend or replace the probabilistic one. Concept: Each accepted contribution is presented and discussed, in two separate sessions. Presentations are short and plenary. Detailed explanations and discussions are face-to-face, with the aid of a poster, a whiteboard, pen and paper, or whichever medium you prefer. Atmosphere: ISIPTA conferences are characterised by a friendly and cooperative style, a strong emphasis on in-depth discussion and a true openness to new ideas. We hope that you too will both enjoy and contribute to this unique atmosphere. Venue: Ghent has been called ?Belgium?s best kept secret? by the Lonely Planet travel guide and a ?medieval masterpiece? by The Guardian. The conference itself takes place in an old Augustinian monastery, situated in its historic city centre. Types of contributions: We accept long papers, short papers and poster abstracts. Papers are published in a volume of PMLR, unless explicitly preferred otherwise by their authors. We look forward to receiving your contribution and/or to seeing you in Ghent! Sincerely, The ISIPTA 2019 Steering Committee and PC board F. Cozman (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) J. De Bock (Ghent University, Belgium) G. de Cooman (Ghent University, Belgium) C. de Campos (Utrecht University, The Netherlands) E. Quaeghebeur (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) T.

seminario Felix Liebrich - 22 novembre - REMINDER
by Emanuela Rosazza 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Si avvisa che il giorno giovedì 22 novembre alle ore 14 presso l’Università di Milano- Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8 - edificio U7, quarto piano- aula 4026) si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Felix-Benedikt Liebrich (LMU Muenchen, Germany) Titolo: “Sharing utility and risk under (partial) law-invariance” Abstract: The so-called risk sharing problem has two variants: (1) How can an aggregation of individual utilities within a system of agents be maximised by means of distributing a certain good, or (2) how can an aggregation of individual risks be minimised by means of redistributing a certain loss the system incurs? The problem has a long history in economics and financial mathematics, and solving it in relevant infinite dimensional spaces is very challenging. Substantial results have been obtained in the context of Pareto efficiency of such sharing schemes when law-invariant (risk) preferences are involved. These rank Savage acts -- random variables -- in a way which only depends on their distribution under a fixed reference probability measure. It was shown that Pareto efficient allocations (i.e. sharing schemes) exist. For problem (1) of maximising aggregated utility, the talk presents a unifying framework in which solutions to the risk sharing problem can be found. As applications, we will discuss the existence of weakly Pareto efficient allocations, Pareto efficient allocations, and core allocations. In a second part, we solve the risk sharing problem (2) for a wide class of capital requirements determining individual risks. These will not be law-invariant functionals, but build on a law-invariant ingredient. The talk is based on joint work with Gregor Svindland. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Un saluto cordiale, Emanuela ******************************************************************************************* Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Università di Milano-Bicocca Edificio U7 – 4° Piano Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 20126 Milano Tel. 02 64483208 Fax. 02 64483105 e-mail: emanuela.rosazza1(a)unimib.it *******************************************************************************************

Statistics Seminar 2018 Giovedì 29 Novembre 2018 alle ore 15:00 presso l' Aula II della Scuola di Economia, Management e Statistica - Piazza Scaravilli 1-2 il Prof. Nicola Cufaro Petroni (Dipartimento di Matematica e TIRES, Università degli Studi di Bari e INFN) terrà il seminario dal titolo: Thou shalt not say “at random” in vain: Bertrand’s paradox exposed Abstract: We show by means of a few examples that the well known Bertrand paradoxes do not point to any probabilistic inconsistency, but rather to the risks incurred with a careless use of the locution at random. Empirical remarks are added Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Cordiali saluti Alberto Lanconelli Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Paolo Fortunati" Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
