Con preghiera di diffusione To Whom It May Concern >>>>>> Upcoming PhD Course <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Giorgia Callegaro (Università degli Studi di Padova) Lucio Fiorin (Università degli Studi di Padova) Daniele Marazzina (Politecnico di Milano) Option Pricing: from Monte Carlo Methods to Quantization The PhD Course (5 CFU) will take place in the Seminar Room of the Third Floor of the Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano, in via Bonardi, 9, Milano, according to the following calendar: > May, 8th: 11am-1pm and 2pm-6pm > May, 9th: 9am-1pm and 2pm-4pm > May, 15th: 11am-1pm and 2pm-6pm > May, 16th: 9am-1pm and 2pm-4pm > May, 17th: 10am-12pm and 1pm-3pm For further details, please contact Daniele Marazzina daniele.marazzina(a)polimi.it Giorgia Callegaro gcallega(a)math.unipd.it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Abstract: Monte Carlo methods are extensively used in finance to value and analyze complex instruments, portfolios and investments by simulating the various sources of uncertainty affecting their value. The advantage of Monte Carlo methods over other techniques increases as the dimensions (sources of uncertainty) of the problem increase. However, it is well known that the disadvantage of Monte carlo methods is the slow convergence, and thus the high computational cost of the algorithms. Quantization is a way to approximate a random vector or a stochastic process using a nearest neighbour projection on a finite codebook. The birth of quantization dates back to the 1950s, when in the Bell laboratories ad hoc signal discretization procedures were developed for signal transmission. In the last years, Quantization has been deeply considered in numerical probability, especially for solving problems arising in mathematical finance, presenting itself as a de facto alternative to Monte Carlo methods. The purpose of the course is to highlight the characteristics of the two methodologies and to deeply analyze (and implement) their applications in financial context, mainly option pricing.

Avviso di Seminario del Prof. Claudio Macci
by Enrica Pirozzi 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Asymptotic results for runs and empirical cumulative entropies Prof. Claudio Macci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Abstract: We prove large and moderate deviations for two sequences of estimators based on the order statistics and, more precisely, on spacings. In the first case we deal with runs, and we have sums of independent Bernoulli distributed random variables. In the second case we deal with empirical cumulative entropies, and we have linear combinations of independent exponentially distributed random variables. Joint work with Rita Giuliano and Barbara Pacchiarotti. Il seminario si terrà il giorno 16 Marzo 2017 ore 15:00 nella Sala Professori secondo livello del Dipartimento Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II, Complesso di Monte Sant'Angelo, Via Cintia, Napoli. -- Enrica Pirozzi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Universita' di Napoli FEDERICO II Via Cintia, Monte S.Angelo, 80126, NAPOLI, ITALY Tel. 081 675634 https://www.docenti.unina.it/ENRICA.PIROZZI

Seminario di Probabilità - Padova
by Paolo Dai Pra 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Ho il piacere di invitarvi al seguente seminario, che si terrà Lunedì 20 Marzo, alle 14:15, in aula 1BC45 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Padova. SPEAKER: Francesca Nardi AFFILIATION: Università di Firenze TITLE: Hitting Time Asymptotics for Hard-Core Interactions on Grids ABSTRACT: We consider the hard-core model with Metropolis transition probabilities on finite grid graphs and investigate the asymptotic behavior of the first hitting time between its two maximum-occupancy configurations in the low-temperature regime. In particular, we show how the order-of-magnitude of this first hitting time depends on the grid sizes and on the boundary conditions by means of a novel combinatorial method. Our analysis also proves the asymptotic exponentiality of the scaled hitting time and yields the mixing time of the process in the low-temperature limit as side-result. In order to derive these results, we extended the model-independent framework in Manzo et al. (J Stat Phys 115(1/2):591–642, 2004) for first hitting times to allow for a more general initial state and target subset. Work in collaboration with A. Zocca S. C.

Seminario DE IORIO

10 Mar '17

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 17 Marzo 2017 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Maria DE IORIO (University College London) DEPENDENT GENERALISED DIRICHLET PROCESS PRIORS We propose a novel Bayesian nonparametric process prior for modelling a collections of random discrete distributions. This process is defined by combining a Generalised Dirichlet Process with a suitable Beta regression framework that introduces dependence among the discrete random distributions. This strategy allows for covariate dependent clustering of the observations. Some advantages of the proposed approach include wide applicability, ease of interpretation and efficient MCMC algorithms. The methodology is illustrated through two real data applications involving acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and London primary schools quality evaluations. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats <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

(senza oggetto)
by Piccioni, Mauro 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Lunedì 13 marzo Ore 16:00, Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università Roma La Sapienza Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica Yosi Rinott, The Hebrew University and LUISS. Title: Differential Privacy applied to common methods of dissemination of frequency tables. When official data are to be disseminated to the public, the agency that releases the data must guarantee the privacy of individuals whose data are to be released. It is not clear how to define and measure privacy. I will explain a notion developed in computer science known as Differential Privacy, and my work (with others) on issues that arise in applying it to the dissemination of frequency tables. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati ad intervenire. Per informazioni rivolgersi a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it
