Dear all, in collaboration with Evry University, ENSIIE and University Paris Diderot, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Padova is organizing a Winter School on recent advances in Mathematical Finance, that will be held in Padova in the period *8-12 February 2016*. Two main courses, on “Energy Markets” and “Pricing with Funding and Counterparty Risks” will be given, respectively, by Rene Aid (EdF) and Andrea Pallavicini (Banca IMI and Imperial College). Moreover, four mini-course are scheduled, on longevity risk (Nicole El Karoui), optimal stopping (Goran Peskir), polynomial processes (Martin Larsson) and numerical methods (Nadia Oudjane). More details can be found at the link: http://www.maths.univ-evry.fr/conferences/padova2016/index_ws.htm#section1 Accomodation during the period 7-12 February will provided to a limited number (maximum 35) of students selected among candidates who will send us, via the online form available here: http://www.maths.univ-evry.fr/conferences/padova2016/Application_ws.htm#sec… their CV and recommendation letter before the *31st October 2015.* Thanks for your attention and see you in Padova!

**************************************************************** STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO **************************************************************** Veberdi 2 Ottobre 2015 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Frederic LAVANCIER (Université de Nantes) DETERMINANTAL POINT PROCESS MODELS AND STATISTICAL INFERENCE Abstract: In this talk, I will demonstrate that Determinantal point processes (DPPs) provide useful models for the description of repulsive spatial point processes. Such data are usually modeled by Gibbs point processes, where the likelihood and moment expressions are intractable and simulations are time consuming. I will recall the definition of a DPP and review some of these appealing properties which make DPP models well suited for statistical analysis. In particular the ’most repulsive’ DPP will be characterized. Parametric models of DPPs will be introduced, where the likelihood and moment expressions can be easily evaluated and realizations can be quickly simulated. Some illustrations on real datasets will be presented. This work has been carried out in collaboration with Jesper Møller and Ege Rubak, Aalborg University. The study of the repulsiveness of DPPs is part of a joint work with Christophe Biscio, University of Nantes. 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.

Seminar announcement
by Marco Scarsini 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Department of Economics and Finance Internal Seminar Thursday,September 24, from 1 to 2 pm Meeting room, 5th floor János Flesch (Maastricht University). Title: Subgame-Perfect Epsilon-Equilibrium in Perfect Information Games. Abstract: We consider multi-player perfect information games. These games are played on a tree of infinite depth, where each node is controlled by one of the players. Play of the game starts at the root. At every node that play visits, the player who controls this node has to choose one of the outgoing arcs. This induces an infinite sequence of nodes in the tree, and depending on this sequence, each player receives a payoff. A strategy profile is called a Nash epsilon-equilibrium if no player can gain more than epsilon by a unilateral deviation. Such games are known to admit a Nash epsilon-equilibrium (Mertens and Neyman 1986) for all positive epsilon, provided that the payoff functions of the players are bounded and Borel measurable. In this talk, we examine the existence of a subgame-perfect epsilon-equilibrium in these games. A subgame-perfect epsilon-equilibrium is a strategy profile that induces a Nash epsilon-equilibrum in every subgame (that is, not only from the root, but also from every other node in the tree). We provide an overview of recent existence and non-existence results. Particular attention is paid to the result (Flesch and Predtetchinski 2015) that a subgame-perfect epsilon-equilibrium exists, for every epsilon>0, if the payoff functions are bounded and exhibit common preferences at the limit. Moreover, if the payoff functions also have finite range, then there exists a pure subgame-perfect 0-equilibrium. These results extend and unify the existence theorems for bounded and semicontinuous payoffs in Flesch et al [2010] and Purves and Sudderth [2011]. ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Alois Kneip

Si avvisa che in data 30-09-2015, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Alois Kneip Universitat Bonn Titolo: Nonparametric Registration to Low-Dimensional Functionspaces Abstract: Registration aims to decompose amplitude and phase variation of samples of curves. Phase variation is captured by warping functions which monotonically transform the domains of sample curves. Resulting registered curves should then only exhibit amplitude variation. Most existing registration method rely on aligning typical shape features like peaks or valleys to be found in each sample function. It is shown that this is not necessarily an optimal strategy for subsequent statistical data exploration and inference. In this context a major goal is to identify low dimensional linear subspaces of functions that are able to provide accurate approximations of the observed functional data. In this paper we present a registration method where warping functions are defined in such a way that the resulting registered curves span a low dimensional linear function space. Problems of identifiability are discussed in detail, and connections to established registration procedures are analyzed. The method is applied to real and simulated data. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
