Seminario SESIA

13 Dec '18

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Mercoledì 19 Dicembre 2018, alle ore 11:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Matteo SESIA (Stanford University) NEW TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE VARIABLE SELECTION WITH KNOCKOFFS Model-X knockoffs [1] is a new statistical framework that allows the scientist to investigate the relationship between a response of interest and hundreds or thousands of explanatory variables. In particular, model-X knockoffs can be used to identify a subset of important variables from a larger pool that could potentially explain a phenomenon under study while rigorously controlling the false discovery rate [2] in very complex statistical models. In this talk we will briefly review the fundamentals of knockoffs and their use in two different scenarios. First, we will discuss about how knockoffs can be used to exploit prior knowledge of genetic variation to obtain a powerful tool for genome-wide association studies [3]. Then, we will see how the information contained in large unsupervised datasets can be harnessed to perform effectively "model-free" variable selection [4]. [1] E. J. Candès, Y. Fan, L. Janson, and J.

avviso seminario Mauro Mariani
by Franco Flandoli 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Il giorno lunedì 17 dicembre, alle ore 10:30, in aula Aula Marie Curie Il professor Mauro Mariani (High School of Economics, Moscow) terrà un seminario dal titolo: The low temperature limit of Dirichlet energies Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Franco Flandoli Abstract: Let M be a Riemannian manifold equipped with a reference measure m with density \exp(- V/T) with respect to the volume measure, where V represents a potential and the positive constant T represents the temperature. The Dirichlet energy with reference measure m is a classical functional defined on the space of probability measures on M. I will discuss the variational convergence of such a functional in the limit T \to 0. In particular, if V is not convex, a non-trivial expansion by Gamma-convergence holds under generic hypotheses on V. The results are based on a joint work with G.DiGesu (TU Wien).

Seminario Stefano Bonaccorsi @ LUISS
by Giovanni Alessandro Zanco 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Dear all, we inform that Professor Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) will give a seminar at LUISS University on Tuesday, December the 18th at 10:00 am in Room 205b, Viale Romania 32 with the following title and abstract Title: Some notes on Malliavin calculus, surface integrals and integration by parts formulae in infinite dimensional spaces Abstract: We introduce a basic construction of the Malliavin calculus which unifies some different perspectives (e.g., Bogachev, Da Prato, Lunardi, Nualart). Then we introduce, for suitable functionals of the Brownian motion, the problem of constructing a surface measure (i.e., the restriction of the reference measure on the infinite dimensional Wiener space) on the level sets defined by them. Finally, we give some interpretation of such results in terms of other stochastic processes.
