Seminario ASTON
by Matteo Ruggiero 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 7 Aprile 2017 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: John ASTON (University of Cambridge) FUNCTIONS, MANIFOLDS AND STATISTICAL LINGUISTICS Functional Data Analysis concerns the statistical study of curves and surfaces. An extension, Functional Object Data Analysis, looks at the statistical analysis of curves and surfaces which live in restricted spaces, such as on manifolds. One particular example of these are the covariance functions associated with the underlying curves. These positive definite operators can often be of interest in their own right, yet standard functional data models are not appropriate due to the positive definite space they are constrained to lie in. Statistical models for both traditional functional data and separable positive definite models will be discussed, particularly in regards to the modelling of phonetic data. Acoustic phonetic data from different dialects or languages can be associated with both mean and covariance functions, and models used to try to interpolate and extrapolate sounds from one language to another. We will demonstrate that by considering the spaces where these sounds lie, it is possible to turn a speaker from one language to another, and literally listen to our statistical analysis. 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. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

[COURSE] CSAMA 2017: Statistical Data Analysis for Genome Scale Biology
by stefano iacus 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

[Apologizes for cross-posting] CSAMA 2017: Statistical Data Analysis for Genome Scale Biology Bressanone-Brixen (IT) June 11-16, 2017 About the Course ================ The one-week intensive course Statistical Data Analysis for Genome-Scale Biology teaches statistical and computational analysis of multi-omics studies in biology and biomedicine. It covers the underlying theory and state of the art (the morning lectures) and practical hands-on exercises based on the R / Bioconductor environment (the afternoon labs). At the end of the course, you should be able to run analysis workflows on your own (multi-)omic data, adapt and combine different tools, and make informed and scientifically sound choices about analysis strategies. The course is intended for researchers who have basic familiarity with the experimental technologies and their applications in biology, and who are interested in making the step from a user of bioinformatics software towards adapting or developing their own analysis workflows. The four practical sessions of the course will require you to follow and modify scripts in the computer language R. Topics ====== * Introduction to R and Bioconductor * The elements of statistics: hypothesis testing, multiple testing, regression, regularization, clustering and classification, parallelization and performance (machine learning), visualisation * RNA-Seq data analysis * Computing with sequences and genomic intervals * Working with annotation – genes, genomic features, variants, transcripts and proteins * Gene set enrichment analysis * Mass spec proteomics and metabolomics * Basis of microbiome analysis * Experimental design, batch effects and confounding * Reproducible research and workflow authoring with R markdown * Package development, version control and developer tools (incl. git, github, RStudio) * Working with large data: performance parallelisation and cloud computing Course Structure ================ The course consists of: * Morning lectures: 20 x 45 minutes: Monday to Friday 8:30 – 12:00 * Practical computer tutorials in the afternoons (13:30 – 16:30) Registration ============ Closes on April 23rd 2016 WebSite of the course ===================== http://www.huber.embl.de/csama2017/ ----------------------------------- Prof. Stefano M.

Seminar prof Cerny, LUISS -- change of time
by Sara 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Dear all, I re-post the announcement for your convenience. The seminar will be next Tuesday, but at 2:30 pm in Room 307b. Professor A. Cerny from Cass will be visiting LUISS and on Tuesday April 4, at 2:30 pm in Room 307b -- viale Romania he will give the following seminar: OPTIMAL TRADE EXECUTION UNDER ENDOGENOUS PRESSURE TO LIQUIDATE: THEORY AND NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS We study optimal liquidation of a large trading position in a market with a temporary price impact. We endogenize the pressure to liquidate and hence allow the time horizon of liquidation to be determined endogenously, as part of the optimal strategy. The corresponding HJB equation leads to a severely singular initial value problem whose numerical solution we also study. In contrast to much of the existing literature spreading the liquidation strategy over a longer horizon is not necessarily beneficial to the trader. Joint work with Pavol Brunovský and Ján Komadel, Comenius University Bratislava -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

annuncio seminario

Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo Lunedì 3 aprile, ore 16:00 Mauro Piccioni (Università di Roma La Sapienza) terrà una conferenza dal titolo: How it happened (to me) to meet ? Summary: The function ? was defined by Minkowski with the purpose of mapping quadratic irrationals bijectively onto the rationals of (0,1) (in addition, it maps the rationals onto the dyadic rationals). It has remarkable self-similarity properties and it maps (increasingly) the interval [0,1] into itself, with an almost everywhere vanishing derivative. For this reason it has been named the slippery devil’s staircase (to distinguish it from the Cantor set distribution function, which, not being strictly increasing, is not slippery!). In the talk we will obtain it as the equilibrium law of a random walk on the homogeneous space (H,PSL_2(Z)) where H is the upper half-plane in the complex plane and PSL_2(Z) is the modular group. The random walk walk drifts towards the real line with a limit in law X whose image under the function |x|v|x|^{-1} has distribution function ?. In proving this, the characterization of a ?-distributed random variable Y in term of its continued fraction expansion is also obtained. This is a joint work with Gerard Letac. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
