Picone", via dei Taurini 19, 00185 Roma Aula Riunioni (I piano) *Simon Campese* (Universita' di Roma "Tor Vergata") terra' un seminario dal titolo *Fourth Moment Theorems for non-linear approximation* ABSTRACT: In the context of non-linear approximation, the classical Fourth Moment Theorem provides a very general framework where convergence of only the second and fourth moment is enough to ensure convergence towards a Gaussian. We will provide an overview of the theory, including multivariate extensions, quantitative results and versions for other target laws such as the Gamma or Beta distribution. Apart from basic knowledge of functional analysis, no further preliminaries are needed. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

No Free Lunch Seminar by Roberto Casarin, Thu July 2 1:00 PM Aula Bianchi @ SNS
by Giacomo Bormetti 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear all, Thu Jul 2 2015, 1:00 PM in Aula Bianchi, Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa Roberto Casarin Department of Economics - Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia will deliver the seminar "Bayesian Nonparametric Calibration and Combination of Predictive Distributions" Abstract: We introduce a Bayesian approach to predictive density calibration and combination that accounts for parameter uncertainty and model set incompleteness through the use of random calibration functionals and random combination weights. Building on the work of Ranjan and Gneiting (2010) and Gneiting and Ranjan (2013), we use infinite beta mixtures for the calibration. The proposed Bayesian nonparametric approach takes advantage of the flexibility of Dirichlet process mixtures to achieve any continuous deformation of linearly combined predictive distributions. The inference procedure is based on Gibbs sampling and allows accounting for uncertainty in the number of mixture components, mixture weights, and calibration parameters. The weak posterior consistency of the Bayesian nonparametric calibration is provided under suitable conditions for unknown true density. We study the methodology in simulation examples with fat tails and multimodal densities and apply it to density forecasts of daily S&P returns and daily maximum wind speed at the Frankfurt airport. Joint work with Federico Bassetti and Francesco Ravazzolo. All interested people are kindly invited.

SEMINARI CONGIUNTI DI PROBABILITA' - ROMA1 E ROMA3

19 Jun '15

MERCOLEDI' 24 GIUGNO, PRESSO IL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA DELLA SAPIENZA, VI SARANNO 2 SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA', CO-ORGANIZZATI DA ROMA1 E ROMA3. Riporto sotto i dettagli Grazie per l'attenzione Alessandra Faggionato Mercoledi' 24 Giugno, ore 14:30 Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica (La Sapienza) Seminario congiunto di Probabilita' (Roma1 e Roma 3) Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Cambdrige) Title: Fluctuation results for Hastings-Levitov planar growth Abstract: In 1998 the physicists Hastings and Levitov introduced a family of continuum models to describe a range of physical phenomena of planar aggregation/diffusion. These consist of growing random clusters on the complex plane, which are built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. It was shown by Norris and Turner (2012) that in the case of i.i.d. maps the limiting shape of these clusters is a disc: in this talk I will show that the fluctuations around this shape are given by a random holomorphic Gaussian field F on {|z| > 1}, of which I will provide an explicit construction. When the cluster is allowed to grow indefinitely, I will show that the boundary values of F converge to a distribution-valued Fractional Gaussian Field on the unit circle, which is log-correlated, and critical in a sense that I will explain. **************************************************************************************************************** Mercoledi' 24 Giugno, ore 15:30 Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica (La Sapienza) Seminario congiunto di Probabilita' (Roma1 e Roma 3) Speaker: Oriane Blondel (Lione) Title: Random walk on the East model (and other environments with spectral gap) Abstract: The East model is a one-dimensional interacting particle system with non attractive spin-flip dynamics. In the physics literature, it is a key example of a model with glassy features. Here we take this model as a random environment and investigate the behaviour of a random walk whose jump rates depend on the current configuration. The analysis relies on general results established for random walks in random environment when the environment is Markovian with positive spectral gap. Joint work with Luca Avena and Alessandra Faggionato. -- Prof. Alessandra Faggionato Department of Mathematics University La Sapienza Piazzale A. Moro, 2 00186 Rome - Italy

June 19th 2015, 11.30h Agustin Mayo Iscar talks on Robust Model based clustering
by Francesca Greselin 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

On June 19th 2015, 11.30h at Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Sala del Consiglio (edificio U7, 4° piano, 4064) Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 – 20126 Milano Agustín Mayo-Iscar - Universidad de Valladolid and IMUVA will give a talk on “Robust model-based clustering and mixture modeling by using trimming and restrictions” Abstract The use of trimming procedures is common in many statistical settings to achieve robustness against outlying observations. Notably, to obtain robustness in model-based clustering and mixture modeling, the only adoption of trimming is not enough. Constraints on the scatters, corresponding to the clusters or to the mixture components, are needed too. The talk presents robust methodology based on the joint application of trimming and feasible restrictions for different clusters and mixture models settings. As it is typical in all proposals designed for this aim, some input parameter needs to chosen, to set the trimming level and the scatter constraints. Data driven tools for helping the user in choosing such values will be also presented. for more info: e-mail: francesca.greselin(a)unimib.it http://www.dismeq.unimib.it
