StaTalk Roma
by Clara Grazian 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

Dear all, we are pleased to announce that the third meeting of the *StaTalk* series will be held at *Facoltà di Economia di Sapienza Università di Roma*on *September 9, 2016*. StaTalks are one-day workshops on statistical topics during which the hosting group introduces and overviews the main research interests of their members. Aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as at post-docs and young researchers, StaTalks are intended to be informal gatherings which allow for a more proficient interaction between presenters and participants. They typically feature some introductory tutorials on the main workshop theme and a few seminars that overview more advanced research topics, still kept at an expository level. StaTalks are thus a great opportunity to become acquainted with the workshop main topic, as well as to share and update one's knowledge on the interface of Statistical research in an easy and informal atmosphere. StaTalks are endorsed by Y-SIS ( https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/), the young section of the Italian Statistical Society. The topic of the third StaTalk will be on *Computational Tools for Statistical Modelling*. We will present and discuss both standard and new computational methods which represents fundamental tools for new challenging applications, such as economic, finance, genetic and official statistics. *Programme* *09.30-10.00 *Opening *10.00-10.40 *Christian Macaro (SAS System) "*A mixture of heterogeneous models with time dependent weights*" *10.40-11.10* Coffee break *11.10-11.50* Clara Grazian (MEMOTEF Department) "*Modelling financial dependence through approximate Bayesian inference*" *11.50-12.30* Stefano Vaccari (MEMOTEF Department) "*Pricing in the Presence of Social Learning: Modelling Information Aggregation in a Competitive Market*" *12.30-14.30* Lunch break *14.30-15.10 *Andrea Tancredi (MEMOTEF Department) "*A Bayesian approach for de-duplication, record linkage and inference with linked data.*" *15.10-15.50 *Luca Tardella (Department of Statistical Science) "*Alternative approaches for approximating marginal likelihood.*" *15.50-16.20* Coffee break *16.20-17.00 *TBA *17.00-17.30 *Closing Additional info can be found at the workshop page https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/events/statalk… REGISTRATION to the third StaTalk are now open. *No conference fees are due, but registration is mandatory*, using the form available on the website.

ESOBE - Annual European Seminar on Bayesian Econometrics - Call for papers
by Monica Billio 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

7^th ANNUAL EUROPEAN SEMINAR ON BAYESIAN ECONOMETRICS *ESOBE 2016* * *Venice, Italy 27 - 28 October 2016 The workshop is organised by the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice *(Venice, Italy), and is co-sponsored by the *European Central Bank *(Frankfurt) and *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy). The ESOBE meetings aim at bringing together researchers and professionals interested in the application of Bayesian inference. Ever since the pioneering work of Arnold Zellner, Bayesian econometrics has expanded enormously in areas such as economics, finance, business, and marketing. Empirical applications of Bayesian econometrics deal with issues such as financial time series analysis, risk management, economic growth analysis, measurement of policy effectiveness, individual decision making in marketing, labour market analysis, forecasting in monetary policy, just to name a few. The computational revolution in simulation techniques is a key ingredient in this expansion and allows the application of Bayesian methods to increasingly complex models and high-dimensional data environments. The ESOBE meetings are intended as a discussion forum for new and recent research methods that are capable to face these challenges. These techniques include, among others, semi-parametric modelling based on mixtures, shrinkage estimators, and variable selection methods. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: ·Bayesian financial econometrics ·Bayesian microeconometrics and program evaluation ·Bayesian nonparametric and semi-parametric methods based on countably infinite mixtures ·Shrinkage estimation and variable selection in high-dimensional data environments ·Computational methods for large datasets ·Efficient MCMC and SMC methods for complex models The keynote speakers of ESOBE 2016 are: ** *Christian P. Robert*(University Paris Dauphine and University of Warwick) *Thomas J. Sargent*(New York University) The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) *Fabio Canova*(BI Norwegian Business School) *Roberto Casarin *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) *Sylvia Frühwirth-Schnatter *(Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) *Sylvia Kaufmann *(Study Center Gerzensee) *Gary Koop *(Strathclyde Business School) *Francesco Ravazzolo *(Free University of Bozen/Bolzano) *Herman K. van Dijk *(Erasmus University Rotterdam and VU University Amsterdam) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. In addition to invited presentations, the workshop will have: * contributed sessions; * a special session by junior scientist presentations; * a poster presentations. We would welcome submissions for these sessions. Submissions for the contributed sessions should be sent to ** <mailto:esobe2016@unive.it>*esobe2016(a)unive.it <mailto:esobe2016@unive.it>*by*July 15, 2016*.

EFI2, December 5-6, Padova, Italy: first announcement
by Tiziano Vargiolu 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Dear all, I am glad to invite you to contribute and take part in the second edition of the workshop Energy Finance Italia, this time held in Padova (Italy) on December 5-6, 2016: http://events.math.unipd.it/efi2/ The aim of this workshop, at its second national edition, is to aggregate in a yearly meeting all Italian researchers, both from academics as from the industrial world, who deal with energy markets and related topics in a wide sense (energy-related time series like market prices, weather etc., evaluation and optimization of physical assets, etc.). Nevertheless, the participation (both as speakers as in the audience) is by no means limited only to Italian speaking people, and non-Italian participants are very welcome. The formula of this workshop (and hopefully of the next ones to follow) is made after the very successful "Workshops in Quantitative Finance", held annually in Italy for the last 18 years: - NO invited speakers, but only contributed ones: this is intented to favour the presence of both young researchers and more senior colleagues, and will favour the exchange of ideas and the birth of new collaborations. - no parallel sessions, but only one session: everyone listens to everybody. - each talk will have an official discussant: this ensures some very interesting and fruitful academic discussions. We all hope to see you all in Padova! Important dates --------------- - October 15, 2016: deadline for abstract submission - November 1, 2016: notification of acceptance Tiziano -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Vargiolu Dipartimento di Matematica Phone: +39 049 8271383 Universita' di Padova Fax: +39 049 8271428 Via Trieste, 63 E-mail: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it I-35121 Padova (Italy) WWW: http://www.math.unipd.it/~vargiolu --------------------------------------------------------------------------

annuncio di seminario
by Faggionato, Alessandra 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Lunedi' 11 Luglio alle 17.15, in Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' La Sapienza, si terra' il seguente seminario di free probability e combinatoria: Speaker: Frederic Patras (CNRS, Laboratoire J.A.Dieudonné, Nizza) Title: Free cumulants and half-shuffles Abstract: The theory of free probabilities has various origins: among others the theory of solutions of random operator-valued differential equations and the one of random matrices and their asymptotic properties. A notion of (free) cumulant has been introduced in this context which (for plenty of reasons) happens to be the "good" generalization of classical cumulants. Roland Speicher has introduced and studied these cumulants form a combinatorial point of view, using the poset of non-crossing partitions. The talk will survey these results and explain a new approach to these questions (j.w. with K. Ebrahimi-Fard). Cordiali saluti -- Prof. Alessandra Faggionato Department of Mathematics University La Sapienza Piazzale A. Moro, 2 00186 Rome - Italy

Seminario di N. Torri a Milano-Bicocca (05.07.2016)
by Francesco Caravenna 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Martedì 5 luglio 2016 alle ore 10:30, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Niccolò Torri (Université de Nantes) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Interacting prudent self-avoiding walk" Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: The collapse transition of self-interacting random walks is a challenging issue, arising in the study of an homopolymer dipped in a repulsive solvent. Different mathematical models have been built by physicists to try and improve their understanding of this phenomenon. For such models, the possible spatial configurations of the polymer are provided by self-avoiding walk trajectories. However, self avoiding walks, especially in dimension 2 and 3, are complicated objects. This is the reason why, in the mathematical literature, collapse transition models were rather built by either relaxing the self-avoiding feature of the walk or by considering partially directed path. In our main result, we prove the existence of a collapse transition for a non-directed model built with prudent paths, i.e., non-directed self-avoiding paths which can not take a step towards a previously visited lattice site. The prudent self-avoiding walk has attracted the attention of the combinatorics community over recent years and an open problem is to find out the exponential growth rate of the set of prudent paths. As a by product of our results we are able to solve this problem. In the first part of the talk we discuss the main models already studied in the literature, while in the second part of the talk we present our main results. The presentation will be kept at an elementary level: only a basic probabilistic background is assumed. (Joint work with Nicolas Pétrélis) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________
