Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Fiserova
by Alessandra Menafoglio 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

Si avvisa che in data 21-11-2018, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore Eva Fiserova, Palacky University Olomouc, Czech Republic Titolo Working with compositional data in coordinates Abstract Compositional data are multivariate observations carrying only relative information, popularly expressed in percentages, proportions, mg/kg, etc. Because of features inherent to compositional data, such as scale invariance and the relative scale, the statistical analysis of raw compositional data often leads to spurious results. Natural principles of compositional data are followed by the Aitchison geometry on a simplex, the sample space of compositional data (Aitchison, 1986; Pawlowsky-Glahn et al., 2015). However, because most standard statistical methods rely on the Euclidean geometry in real space, compositional data need to be converted to this space prior to statistical processing. In the lecture, we will present the log ratio methodology for dealing with compositional data and several types of their coordinate representations, such as orthonormal log-ratio coordinates, pivot coordinates, weighted pivot coordinates (Hron et al., 2017), or symmetric balances (Kynvclova et al., 2017). Their usage will be demonstrated on examples. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminar announcement

Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Viale Romania 32 00196 Roma November 15, 2018, 12:00 noon Room 207 *Speaker: *Mathias Staudigl / Maastricht University *Title: * *“Learning in Time Varying Games”* *Abstract:* *“In this paper, we examine the long-term behavior of regret minimizing agents in time-varying games with continuous action spaces. In its most basic form, (external) regret minimization guarantees that an agent’s cumulative payoff is no worse in the long run than that of the agent’s best fixed action in hindsight. Going beyond this worst-case guarantee, we consider a dynamic regret variant that compares the agent’s accrued rewards to those of any sequence of play. Specializing to a wide class of no-regret strategies based on mirror descent, we derive explicit rates of regret minimization relying only on imperfect gradient observations. We then leverage these results to show that players are able to stay close to Nash equilibrium in time-varying monotone games – and even converge to Nash equilibrium if the sequence of stage games admits a limit.”* The calendar of the future seminars can be found at http://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/en/seminari/prossimi-seminari ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza LUISS Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY URL: http://docenti.luiss.it/scarsini/

Seminario di Probabilita` e Stastistica
by Faggionato, Alessandra 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

scusate ma mancava il titolo nel mio annuncio precedente: Seminario di Probabilita` e Stastistica Martedi 13 novembre ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, La Sapienza. Titolo: Effects of prior selection in nonparametric Bayes problems Speaker: Tomasz Rychlil (Istituto di Matematica dell'Accademia Polacca delle Scienze) Abstract: We consider an arbitrary family of stochastically ordered distribution functions dependent on parameters from an interval in the real line. We compare distribution functions and moments of random variables with distribution functions being the mixtures of the members of the above stochastically ordered family. In particular, we determine lower and upper bounds on the values of one mixture distribution function under the condition that the other mixture distribution is arbitrarily fixed. We also evaluate the differences between the expectations of mixture variables in various scale units. The results are illustrated by some examples. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

seminario 13 novembre 9, 30 al Politecnico di Torino DISMA
by Enrico Bibbona 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Martedi' 13 novembre alle 9,30 in Aula Buzano (Politecnico di Torino, DISMA) il prof Badal Joshi (California State University San Marcos) terrà un seminario dal titolo Graphical symmetries of reaction networks and their stationary measures Abstract: Reaction networks are used to model chemical reactions, biochemical reactions, interacting populations in ecology, genetics and infectious disease dynamics among many other systems. Depending on the system scale, three most commonly used models are continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC), stochastic differential equations and ordinary differential equations (ODE). With increased data and scientific focus shifting towards biochemistry which often involves populations as small as few tens of molecules, CTMC models have seen dramatic increase in relevance. The long-term dynamics of a continuous-time Markov chain model are described by its stationary distribution. In general, the explicit form of the stationary distribution is impossible to obtain even for very small networks. However, when the network has some natural symmetries, we can obtain the explicit stationary distribution and it can be connected with the equilibria of the corresponding ODE system. We will discuss the symmetries of reaction balance, complex balance, reaction vector balance, and cycle balance and their properties in both the deterministic (ODE) setting and stochastic (CTMC) setting. We will also discuss the relations between the various forms of balance and the connection with existence and form of the stationary distribution. Cordialmente, Enrico Bibbona Probability, Statistics and Optimization group Department of Mathematical Sciences "G. L Lagrange" Politecnico di Torino
