Seminar in Statistics - ANGELIKA ROHDE

16 Jan '23

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 20 Gennaio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Angelika Rohde* (University of Freiburg) Title: *Estimating functionals under local differential privacy* Abstract: We study the problem of estimating a functional $\theta(\mathbb{P})$ of an unknown probability distribution $\mathbb{P} \in\mathcal{P}$ in which the original iid sample $X_1,\dots, X_n$ is kept private even from the statistician via an $\alpha$-local differential privacy constraint. Let $\omega_{TV}$ denote the modulus of continuity of the functional $\theta$ over $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to total variation distance. For a large class of loss functions $l$ and a fixed privacy level $\alpha$, we prove that the privatized minimax risk is equivalent to $l(\omega_{TV}(n^{-1/2}))$ to within constants, under regularity conditions that are satisfied, in particular, if $\theta$ is linear and $\mathcal{P}$ is convex. Our results complement the theory developed by Donoho and Liu (1991 Ann. Statist. 19 633–667) with the nowadays highly relevant case of privatized data. Somewhat surprisingly, the difficulty of the estimation problem in the private case is characterized by $\omega_{TV}$, whereas, it is characterized by the Hellinger modulus of continuity if the original data $X_1,\dots, X_n$ are available. We also find that for locally private estimation of linear functionals over a convex model a simple sample mean estimator, based on independently and binary privatized observations, always achieves the minimax rate. In particular, over the larger class of so-called sequentially interactive privacy mechanisms, a non-interactive procedure attains this rate. Next, we turn to one of the most studied non-linear functionals, the quadratic functional. Here, in contrast, we show that for estimating the integrated square of a density, sequentially interactive privacy mechanisms improve substantially over the best possible non-interactive procedure in terms of minimax rate of estimation. In particular, in the non-interactive scenario we identify an elbow in the minimax rate at $s=3/4$, whereas in the sequentially interactive scenario the elbow is at $s=1/2$. This is markedly different from both, the case of direct observations, where the elbow is well-known to be at $s=1/4$, as well as from the case where Laplace noise is added to the original data, where an elbow at $s=9/4$ is obtained. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89240989650?pwd=eVZSTUVEWHM2SnhBWXpnL21VU3gvQT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario Paolo Dai Pra
by Enrica Pirozzi 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. Paolo Dai Pra Università di Verona TITOLO Polarization and Coherence in Mean Field Games Driven by Private and Social Utility Abstract We study a mean field game in continuous time over a finite horizon, T, where the state of each agent is binary and where players base their strategic decisions on two, possibly competing, factors: the willingness to align with the majority (conformism) and the aspiration of sticking with the own type (stubbornness). We also consider a quadratic cost related to the rate at which a change in the state happens: changing opinion may be a costly operation. Depending on the parameters of the model, the game may have more than one Nash equilibrium, even though the corresponding N- player game does not. Moreover, it exhibits a very rich phase diagram, where polarized/unpolarized, coherent/incoherent equilibria may coexist, except for T small, where the equilibrium is always unique. We fully describe such phase diagram in closed form and provide a detailed numerical analysis of the N-player counterpart of the mean field game. Joint work with Marco Tolotti (Venezia) and Elena Sartori (Padova). Il seminario si terrà il giorno 13 Gennaio 2023 ore 11:00 nella Aula F del Dipartimento Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II, Complesso di Monte Sant'Angelo, Via Cintia, Napoli.

Annuncio Seminario Sapienza // Martedì 10 Gennaio // Lorenzo Dello Schiavo
by Lorenzo Taggi 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Martedì 10 Gennaio 2023, ore 14:00 Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker: *Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (ISTA, Vienna) *Titolo:* Scaling Limits of Random Walks, Harmonic Profiles, and Stationary Non-Equilibrium States in Lipschitz Domains *Abstract:* We consider the open symmetric exclusion (SEP) and inclusion (SIP) processes on a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω, with both fast and slow boundary. For the random walks on Ω dual to SEP/SIP we establish a functional-CLT-type convergence to the Brownian motion on Ω with either Neumann (slow boundary), Dirichlet (fast boundary), or Robin (at criticality) boundary conditions. We further show the discrete-to-continuum convergence of the corresponding harmonic profiles. As a consequence, we rigorously derive the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic limits for SEP/SIP on Ω, and analyze their stationary non-equilibrium fluctuations. Based on joint work arXiv:2112.14196 with Lorenzo Portinale (IAM Bonn) and Federico Sau (ISTA)

seminar on January 11, 2023 - Giulia Di Nunno - Reminder
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 11th of January 2023 at 16:30* in Aula Seminari 4026 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 4th floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: *Sandwiched Volterra volatility models and hedging* Abstract: We present the Sandwiched Volterra Volatility (SVV) model and we discuss some of its characteristic properties. We then move to consider hedging and consider the explicit computation of quadratic hedging strategies. While the theoretical solution is well-known in terms of the non-anticipating derivative for all square integrable claims, the fact that these models are typically non-Markovian provides a concrete difficulty in the direct computation of conditional expectations at the core of the explicit hedging strategy. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a Markovian approximation of the model which stems from an adequate approximation of the kernel in the Volterra noise. We show some numerical simulations performed with different methods.

SPASS Seminar: Antonio Agresti - TUE 10.01 at 14:00
by Andrea Agazzi 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *The primitive equations with transport noise* by Antonio Agresti (ISTA - Institute of Science and Technology Austria) The seminar will take place in person on *TUE, 10.01.2023 at 14:00 CET* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Title: **The primitive equations with transport noise* *Abstract: **The primitive equations are one of the fundamental models for geophysical flows used to describe oceanic and atmospheric dynamics. In this talk I will discuss some recent results on the primitive equations with noise of transport type. In addition to transport noise, we also consider non-isothermal turbulent pressure. The dependence of the turbulent pressure on the temperature is a consequence of a stochastic Boussinesq approximation. For the primitive equations with transport noise and non-isothermal turbulent pressure, we provide a physical derivation and we discuss the global well-posedness for data in the critical spaces $H^1$. The latter result gives a non-trivial extension of the celebrated work by C. Cao and E.S. Titi on the deterministic model. Our approach is based on recent developments of maximal regularity techniques in the context of stochastic parabolic PDEs. If time allows, then I will also discuss further results in presence of rough noise.* *Based on joint works with M. Hieber (TU Darmstadt), A. Hussein (TU Kaiserslautern) and M. Saal (TU Darmstadt).*

Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino
by Matteo Ruggiero 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Con preghiera di diffusione ai potenziali interessati ----------------------------------------------- Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino Project title: CONSTRUCTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND INFERENCE FOR DIFFUSIONS IN STOCHASTIC POPULATION DYNAMICS Project supervisor: Matteo RUGGIERO (University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) www.matteoruggiero.it <https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.matteoruggiero.it&source=gmail-imap…> Brief description (the focus of the project can be adapted to the position holder’s background): The project aims at constructing new diffusion processes for modelling temporally evolving vectors of frequencies and to investigate appropriate inferential strategies when these are seen as hidden Markov models. These processes typically take values on multi-dimensional or infinite-dimensional simplices, and their temporal mechanisms, often related to evolutionary forces used in stochastic population dynamics, typically have commonly used prior distributions in Bayesian statistics as stationary measures. The construction of such models will be achieved by means of approximating sequences of Markov chains after appropriate rescaling, and inference will be tackled exploiting the existence of certain dual processes through particle filtering or Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

seminar on January 11, 2023 - Giulia Di Nunno
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 11th of January 2023 at 16:30* in Aula Seminari 4026 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 4th floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: *Sandwiched Volterra volatility models and hedging* Abstract: We present the Sandwiched Volterra Volatility (SVV) model and we discuss some of its characteristic properties. We then move to consider hedging and consider the explicit computation of quadratic hedging strategies. While the theoretical solution is well-known in terms of the non-anticipating derivative for all square integrable claims, the fact that these models are typically non-Markovian provides a concrete difficulty in the direct computation of conditional expectations at the core of the explicit hedging strategy. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a Markovian approximation of the model which stems from an adequate approximation of the kernel in the Volterra noise. We show some numerical simulations performed with different methods.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Simone Floreani (University of Oxford)
by Alberto Chiarini 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the "Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance seminar" that will take place on December 21st at 11.00 in Padova in room 2AB45 at the department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita". The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Simone Floreani (University of Oxford) Title: Hydrodynamics for the partial exclusion process in random environment via stochastic duality Date and time: Wednesday, DECEMBER 21st at 11.00 Place: room 2AB45 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88295505400 available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In this talk, I present a partial exclusion process in random environment, a system of random walks where the random environment is obtained by assigning a maximal occupancy to each site of the Euclidean lattice. This maximal occupancy is allowed to randomly vary among sites, and partial exclusion occurs. After recalling some results on the Bouchaud's trap model, I will show that, when assuming that the maximal occupancies are heavy tailed and i.i.d., the hydrodynamic limit of the particle system is the fractional-kinetics equation. The strategy of the proof is based on stochastic duality, a useful tool in probability theory which allows to study a Markov process (the one that interests you) via another one, called dual process, which is hopefully simpler. In the final part of the talk, I will focus on how some duality relations can be obtained in a more general framework.

Although longevity improvement is an obvious benefit for society, it could also represent a risk for governments and insurance companies. Indeed, they could get in financial trouble if they do not adequately consider these longevity improvements for retirement planning and life insurance product pricing. The risk that future mortality and life expectancy outcomes turn out differently than expected is typically called longevity risk, and its management requires stochastic mortality projection models. We introduce a neural network (NN) to fit the Lee-Carter models and some of its extensions on multiple populations. The NN architecture is specifically designed to calibrate each individual model using all available information instead of using a population-specific subset of data as in the traditional estimation schemes. An extensive set of numerical experiments performed on all the countries of the Human Mortality Database shows the effectiveness of our approach. In particular, the resulting parameter estimates appear smooth and less sensitive to the random fluctuations often present in the mortality rates’ data, especially for low-population countries. In addition, the forecasting performance results significantly improved as well.

Annuncio Seminario Sapienza - Giacomo Greco
by Lorenzo Taggi 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

Martedì 20 Dicembre, ore 14:00, Sapienza Università di Roma, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sala di Consiglio *Speaker: *Giacomo Greco (Eindhoven University of Technology TU/e) *Titolo:* Travelling through turnpikes in the Kinetic Schrödinger Problem *Abstract:* The Schrödinger problem consists in finding the most likely evolution of a system of i.i.d. particles, conditionally on their initial and final configurations. In the last decade this problem has become more and more popular, thanks to its connections with stochastic optimal control theory and optimal transport. In this talk we are going to introduce a Schrödinger problem where the particles follow an (underdamped) Langevin dynamics (i.e. their density satisfies the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation) and where we are given only a partial observation of the initial and final configurations. Then, we will investigate the long-time behaviour of this kinetic system, proving that its most likely evolution is exactly the one that spends most of the time exponentially close to the equilibrium configuration (this property is commonly known in stochastic control theory as the turnpike property). Based on the paper Electron. J. Probab. 27: 1-32 (2022). DOI: 10.1214/22-EJP850

Seminar by A. Awerkin in Padova (Friday 16.12.2022)
by Giorgia Callegaro 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

Dear all, you're invited to the next seminar in Probability and Finance, that will take place on Friday 16th December, at 15.30, in hybrid mode at the Mathematics Department of the University of Padova. More details: * *Speaker*: *Almendra Awerkin* (Università di Brescia) * *Date and time*: 16th December 2022, 3.30 pm * *Room (Torre Archimede)*: room 702 * *Zoom link*: please find it at https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * *Title*: *Optimal investment and fair sharing rules of the incentives for renewable energy communities * * *Abstract*: In order to face climate and energy objectives, as reduction of GHG emission and energy independency, countries start to promote sustainable energy plans. In the research for solutions to achieve such goals, Renewable Energy Communities (REC) start to play an important role. A REC is defined as a cooperative, non-profit organization of final customers, which can involve different stakeholders, such as municipalities, local societies, public and private companies, with the purpose of self-producing and self-consuming energy from renewable sources. Recently, the Italian government introduced an incentive tariff for REC. The special feature of this tariff is that it rewards the shared energy from the installation of new renewable sources. Shared energy is defined as the demand of the community which is satisfied by the self-production of energy. In this context, two relevant problems have to be solved: the optimal investment in new technologies and a fair division of the incentive among the community members. In this talk we address this problem by modeling an energy community as a static leader follower problem, where the leader, which can be understood as the administrator or coordinator of the REC, decides the percentage of the incentive that correspond to each member of the community, while the followers, represented by the members of the community, decide how much initially invest in new renewable energy production. We identified the optimal division of the incentive (leader) with a Nash bargaining solution. Additionally, we supposed a competitive game between the community members (followers) and we identified the initial optimal investment solution with a Nash equilibrium. We finish the talk by presenting some extension of our model, partial results and work in progress related to the optimal investment and management of energy communities.

LUISS Math Seminars: Katia Colaneri, Thursday 15 December
by Alessandro Calvia 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

Dear all, I am pleased to announce the next seminar in the LUISS math seminars series. Speaker: Katia Colaneri, Università di Roma Tor Vergata. Title: Some Optimisation Problems in Insurance with a Terminal Distribution Constraint. Abstract: We study two optimisation settings for an insurance company, under the constraint that the terminal surplus at a deterministic and finite time T follows a certain target distribution. First, we allow the insurance company to pay dividends and seek to maximise the expected discounted dividend payments or to minimise the ruin probability under the terminal distribution constraint that the surplus is Gaussian with given mean and variance. Here, we find explicit expressions for the optimal strategies in both cases, when the dividend strategy is updated at discrete points in time and continuously in time. Second, we let the insurance company buy a reinsurance contract for a pool of insured or a branch of business. In this setting we only allow for piecewise constant reinsurance strategies producing a normally distributed terminal surplus, whose mean and variance lead, e.g. to a given Value-at-Risk at some confidence level alpha. We investigate the question which admissible reinsurance strategy produces a smaller ruin probability, if the ruin-checks are due at discrete deterministic points in time. This presentation is based on an joint work with Julia Eisenberg (TU Vienna) and Benedetta Salterini (Univ. of Firenze) The seminar will take place on Thursday, 15 December at 12:00 PM in Room A202 - viale Romania 32, Roma.

Still, its learning mechanism is often too simplistic and many generalizations have been proposed to increase its flexibility, a popular one being the class of normalized completely random measures. Here we investigate a simple yet fundamental matter: will a different prior actually guarantee a different learning outcome? To this end, we develop a new framework for assessing the merging rate of opinions based on three leading pillars: i) the investigation of identifiability of completely random measures; ii) the measurement of their discrepancy through a novel optimal transport distance; iii) the establishment of general techniques to conduct posterior analyses, unravelling both finite-sample and asymptotic behaviour of the distance as the number of observations grows. Our findings provide neat and interpretable insights on the impact of popular Bayesian nonparametric priors, with very mild assumptions on the data-generating process. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84498069342?pwd=ZkJOcnlNalEybmlEdE1QUGFEczZmdz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

by Margherita Zanella 07 Dec '22

07 Dec '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Mario Maurelli(Università di Pisa). Title: A McKean-Vlasov SDE and particle system with interaction from reflecting boundaries. Abstract: We consider a one-dimensional McKean-Vlasov SDE on a domain and the associated meanfield interacting particle system. The peculiarity of this system is the combination of the interaction, which keeps the average position prescribed, and the reflection at the boundaries; these two factors make the effect of reflection non local. We show path-wise well-posedness for the McKean-Vlasov SDE and convergence for the particle system in the limit of large particle number. Joint work with Michele Coghi, Wolfgang Dreyer, Peter K. Friz, Paul Gajewski, Clemens Guhlke. Date and time: Tuesday December 13, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Link: Entra nella riunione in Zoom https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92900386273?pwd=dG1xTUtsN0JpaFl2TWlzRTJ1a0lBZz09 ID riunione: 929 0038 6273 Passcode: 638099 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

Buongiorno, con piacere segnalo il seguente seminario: -------------------------------- 14 dicembre ore 16.00 - aula 203, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Dott. Roberto Ascari Università di Milano-Bicocca Title: The flexible Latent Dirichlet Allocation Abstract: Over recent years, text modeling techniques have been employed in several applications, including the detection of latent topics in text documents. A widespread statistical tool for topic modeling is the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), which allows for a document representation in terms of topic composition. A well-known limitation of the LDA is related to the stiffness of the Dirichlet prior imposed on the topic distributions. To consider a richer dependence structure, we propose a generalization of the Dirichlet distribution as an alternative distribution, namely the flexible Dirichlet (FD). The FD is a distribution defined on the simplex space allowing for a finite mixture structure. This choice introduces additional parameters in the LDA, and ensures more flexibility, still maintaining the model interpretability, as well as conjugacy to the multinomial model. The latter property allows for a Collapsed Gibbs Sampling-based estimation procedure. The generalization of the LDA based on the FD distribution is illustrated via an application to a real dataset. ----------------------------------- Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminar Wager @Bocconi - 12Dec at 12:00
by Giacomo Zanella 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

We are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar: Monday, 12 of December 2022 at 12:00 In person: Room 3-E4-SR03, floor 3, Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, Milan Zoom link: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/95882011831; Meeting ID: 958 8201 1831 Speaker: Stefan Wager (Stanford University) Title: Learning from a Biased Sample Abstract: The empirical risk minimization approach to data-driven decision making assumes that we can learn a decision rule from training data drawn under the same conditions as the ones we want to deploy it under. However, in a number of settings, we may be concerned that our training sample is biased, and that some groups (characterized by either observable or unobservable attributes) may be under- or over-represented relative to the general population; and in this setting empirical risk minimization over the training set may fail to yield rules that perform well at deployment. Building on concepts from distributionally robust optimization and sensitivity analysis, we propose a method for learning a decision rule that minimizes the worst-case risk incurred under a family of test distributions whose conditional distributions of outcomes Y given covariates X differ from the conditional training distribution by at most a constant factor, and whose covariate distributions are absolutely continuous with respect to the covariate distribution of the training data. We apply a result of Rockafellar and Uryasev to show that this problem is equivalent to an augmented convex risk minimization problem. We give statistical guarantees for learning a robust model using the method of sieves and propose a deep learning algorithm whose loss function captures our robustness target. We empirically validate our proposed method in simulations and a case study with the MIMIC-III dataset. Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

Corso Marta CATALANO (University of Warwick)
by Matteo Ruggiero 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (il programma completo è consultabile alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting) con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- MARTA CATALANO (University of Warwick) DEPENDENT NONPARAMETRIC PRIORS VIA COMPLETELY RANDOM MEASURES Bayesian nonparametrics provides a natural framework for performing flexible inference with principled quantification of uncertainty. The main ingredients are discrete random measures, whose laws act as prior distribution for infinite-dimensional parameters and, combined with the data, provide their posterior distribution. Recent works use dependent random measures to perform simultaneous inference across multiple samples. The borrowing of strength across different samples is regulated by the dependence structure of the random measures, with complete dependence corresponding to maximal sharing of information and fully exchangeable observations. In these lectures we start from the notion of completely random measure and describe several ways of introducing dependence between them. Different models may still induce the same amount of borrowing of information, measured by an index of dependence. In the two sample case, this is often achieved by second order summaries of the joint distribution through linear correlation. In the multivariate scenario, we characterise dependence in terms of distance from exchangeability by relying on optimal transport. This allows for informed prior elicitations and provides a fair ground for model comparison. -------------------------------------- Il corso si svolgerà solo in presenza secondo il seguente calendario Lez 1: mar 13/12: 14-16 - Aula 4 Lez 2: mer 14/12: 9.15-11.15 - Aula 4 Lez 3: mer 14/12: 14-16 - Aula 30 Lez 4: gio 15/12: 14-16 - Aula 11 Sede dei corsi: Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino Il corso è rivolto agli studenti della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati.

Seminario Sapienza - Alberto Chiarini - Martedì 6 Dicembre
by Lorenzo Taggi 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

Titolo: On the cost of covering a fraction of a macroscopic body by a simple random walk. Abstract: In this talk we aim at establishing large deviation estimates for the probability that a simple random walk on the Euclidean lattice (d>2) covers a substantial fraction of a macroscopic body. It turns out that, when such rare event happens, the random walk is locally well approximated by random interlacements with a specific intensity, which can be used as a pivotal tool to obtain precise exponential rates. Random interlacements have been introduced by Sznitman in 2007 in order to describe the local picture left by the trace of a random walk on a large discrete torus when it runs up to times proportional to the volume of the torus, and has been since a popular object of study. In the first part of the talk we introduce random interlacements and give a brief account of some results surrounding this object. In the second part of the talk we study the event that random interlacements cover a substantial fraction of a macroscopic body. This allows to obtain an upper bound on the probability of the corresponding event for the random walk. Finally, by constructing a near-optimal strategy for the random walk to cover a macroscopic body, we discuss a matching large deviation lower bound. The talk is based on ongoing work with M. Nitzschner (NYU Courant). Martedì 6 Dicembre, ore 14:00 Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma, Sala di Consiglio Speaker: Alberto Chiarini, Università di Padova

Buongiorno, con piacere segnalo il seguente seminario: -------------------------------- 6 dicembre ore 16.00 - aula 101, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Prof. Andrea Consiglio Università di Palermo Title: Simulation and Optimization Models to Assess Sovereign Debt Sustainability Abstract: We model sovereign debt sustainability with optimal financing decisions under macroeconomic, financial, and fiscal uncertainty, with endogenous risk and term premia. Using a coherent risk measure we trade off debt stock and flow risks subject to sustainability constraints. We optimize static and dynamic financing strategies and demonstrate economically significant savings from optimal financing compared with simple rules and consols, and find that optimizing the trade-offs can be critical for sustainability. ----------------------------------- Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

[PRISMA] seminari di Antonio Lijoi e Federico Camerlenghi
by Domenico Marinucci 28 Nov '22

28 Nov '22

Care colleghe e colleghi il prossimo incontro del ciclo di seminari del gruppo UMI-Prisma si svolgerà come al solito il primo lunedì del mese, quindi il 5 dicembre dalle 16 alle 18 su piattaforma Teams (link alla fine del messaggio). Parleranno Antonio Lijoi e Federico Camerlenghi (cf. http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/webinars.html) titoli ed abstract qui sotto: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio Lijoi, Università Bocconi TITLE: Discrete random structures and Bayesian nonparametric modeling ABSTRACT: Discrete random structures, such as random partitions and discrete random measures, have emerged as effective tools for Bayesian modeling and have fueled exciting advances in density estimation, clustering, prediction, feature allocation and survival analysis. The Dirichlet process (DP) has undoubtedly emerged as a reference model, mostly due to its analytical tractability. Nonetheless, the DP shares also some well-known limitations that have spurred a very lively area of research aiming at the proposal and the investigation of more general and flexible discrete nonparametric priors. The talk will provide a broad overview of such classes of priors and will specifically focus on those obtained as normalization of completely random measures. Characterizations of the induced random partitions and predictive rules will be illustrated and their role in designing computational algorithms for the approximation of Bayesian inferences of interest will be highlighted, both in exchangeable and non-exchangeable settings. Federico Camerlenghi, Milano Bicocca TITLE: Normalized random measures with atoms' interaction ABSTRACT: The seminal work of Ferguson (1973), who introduced the Dirichlet process, has spurred the definition and investigation of more general classes of Bayesian nonparametric priors, with the aim at increasing flexibility while maintaining analytical tractability. Among the numerous generalizations, a fundamental class of random probability measures has been introduced by Regazzini et al. (2003): this is the class of normalized random measures with independent increments (NRMIs). NRMIs are random probability measures with almost surely discrete realizations, defined through the specifications of two ingredients: i) a sequence of unnormalized weights, which are the jumps of a Levy process on the positive real line; ii) a sequence of i.i.d. random atoms from a common base measure. The proposed construction is appealing from a mathematical standpoint, because analytical tractability is preserved, however NRMIs do not allow interaction among atoms, which are supposed to be independent and identically distributed. In some applied frameworks, the i.i.d. assumption could be too restrictive, for instance, in model-based clustering, when they are used as mixing measures in mixture models. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new class of normalized random measures with atoms' interaction. In our construction the atoms come from a finite point process, which is marked with i.i.d. positive weights. Thus, a new class of random probability measures is obtained by normalization. The desired interaction among atoms is then induced by a suitable choice of the law of the point process, which can create a repulsive or attractive behaviour. By means of Palm calculus, we are able to characterize marginal, predictive and posterior distributions for the proposed model. We specialize all our results for several choices of the finite point process, i.e., in the Determinantal, Gibbs and Shot-Noise Cox case. (Based on a joint work with Raffaele Argiento, Mario Beraha and Alessandra Guglielmi.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci Link per il collegamento: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a667d2414be564c5d8fba30acffeb… -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

SPASS seminar: Angelo Lucia - THU 01.12 at 14:00
by Andrea Agazzi 28 Nov '22

28 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Thermalization of 2D Quantum Memories* by Angelo Lucia (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) The seminar will take place in person on *THU, 01.12.2022 at 14:00* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Title: Thermalization of 2D Quantum Memories* *Abstract: **The aim of a quantum memory is to protect an encoded quantum state against errors for long periods of time. Quantum double models are a class of 2D quantum memories proposed by Kitaev, in which the protection from noise is due to the topological properties of the ground state degeneracy.* *Heuristic arguments have long pointed to a weakness of these models against thermal noise processes. In this talk I will present a rigorous estimate on the lifetime of these memories under a noise process modeled by Davies generators which confirms these findings. This estimate is obtained by proving that the spectral gap of the generator is lower bounded by a positive constant uniformly in the system size.*

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Giacomo Greco (Eindhoven University of Technology)
by Alberto Chiarini 27 Nov '22

27 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on December 2nd at 11.00 in Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Giacomo Greco (Eindhoven University of Technology) Title: Entropic turnpike estimates for the kinetic Schrödinger problem Date and time: Friday, DECEMBER 2nd at 11.00 Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/86210155315 available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: The kinetic Schrödinger problem consists in finding the most likely evolution of a system of i.i.d. particles driven by the underdamped Langevin dynamics, conditionally on their initial and final spatial configurations. In this model each particle is described both by its position and velocity, but there is no a priori knowledge of the velocities at the initial and final time. We will investigate the long-time behaviour of this kinetic system, proving that its most likely evolution is exactly the one that spends most of the time exponentially close to the equilibrium configuration (this property is commonly known in stochastic control theory as the turnpike property). This short talk is based on a joint work with A. Chiarini, G. Conforti, Z. Ren. With best regards, Alberto Chiarini Department of Mathematics Tullio Levi-Civita Via Trieste 63 35121 Padova Italy

25 Nov '22

Dear all, I am delighted to announce the following Colloquium of The Department of Mathematics and Applications <https://www.matapp.unimib.it/it/eventi/colloquium-del-dipartimento-matemati…>, University of Milano-Bicocca combined with the "Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano <https://www.mate.polimi.it/smf/>”. Speaker: Gady Kozma (Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot). Title: Harmonic functions on groups. Abstract: The classic Liouville theorem states that any bounded harmonic function on Euclidean space is constant. The same holds for discretely harmonic functions on a lattice. But what happens when the Euclidean lattice is replaced by other graphs, in particular Cayley graphs of groups? We will survey old and new results on relations between geometric and algebraic properties of groups, harmonic functions and probability. Based on joint work with various subsets of Itai Benjamini, Ariel Yadin, Hugo Duminil-Copin, Gidi Amir and Maria Gerasimova. The event will take place on November 30, 2022 at 14.30, in presence, Room 3014, 3rd floor of building U5, University of Milano-Bicocca, Via Roberto Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano. Light refreshments will be served after the talk. Best regards, Tal Orenshtein

Seminar: Giovanni Pistone @University of Genova (DIMA)
by Fabio Rapallo 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following seminar: Speaker: professor Giovanni Pistone (de Castro Statistics, Collegio Carlo Alberto) Title: Affine Statistical Manifold: Finite State Space Date and time: Monday 28 november at 2 pm Place: room 508 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Genova YouTube channel: 508dima Abstract: H. Weyl defines an affine space as a triple (M, V, ->), where V is a real vector space and M is a set with a binary external operation such that the parallelogram law holds. This notion was introduced in Relativity to derive simple notions of velocity and acceleration for curves in non-flat spaces. I have extended this setup to vector bundles to discuss the relevant affine geometries of the probability simplex. This type of study was called Information Geometry by S-i Amari. Especially, Amari and Nagaoka introduced a crucial notion of duality between mixture families and exponential families. J. Aitchinson developed a similar geometrical treatment of what he calls Statistics of Compositional Data. This affine setup is compatible but different with the metric set due to CR Rao and based on the observation that the Fisher information matrix of a statistical model defines a Riemannian metric on the probability simplex. A previous lecture on similar topics is transcribed at http://www.j-npcs.org/online/vol2020/v23no2p221.pdf. The present lecture is based on the material taken from https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.00917, https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/20/2/139, and https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.06718.<https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.06718> The continuous case, not treated here, requires particular technical notions of differential geometry and functional analysis. See a summary at https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.07641 The seminar will be held in person and online via the YouTube channel: 508dima.

by Irene Crimaldi 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

Dear all, we are glad to inform you about the workshop *"Social Network Dynamics and Impact on Financial Markets"*, organized by the IMT School in collaboration with the Tor Vergata University of Rome, that will take place *on 26 and 27 January 2023*. Social media platforms provide a significant channel for people to connect, share opinions, spread and process information. How we interact with each other leads to large-scale phenomena, and recently financial markets have been repeatedly influenced by viral social media trends. These online financial coordinated operations receive massive attention from the media, financial stakeholders, and the academic community. In this workshop, you will explore the key ingredients leading the stock to go viral and how we can model and early detect online coordination that has a social and practical impact. *The call for abstract is open until December 15, 2022.* For more information, visit the website socialnetdynamics.imtlucca.it or write to workshop.socialnet.dynamics(a)gmail.com.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Maurizia Rossi (Università Milano Bicocca)

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on November 25 at 15.30. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ *Speaker*: Maurizia Rossi (Università Milano Bicocca) *Title*: Gaussian Kinematic Formulas for Random Spherical Harmonics *Date and time*: Friday, NOVEMBER 25 at 15.30 *Place*: room 2AB40 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link*: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83301000752 (meeting ID: 833 0100 0752) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract*: In this talk we investigate the geometry of random spherical harmonics (Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the round sphere). In particular we study the distribution, for large eigenvalues, of Lipschitz-Killing Curvatures (LKCs) of their excursion sets at any threshold. The main result we discuss is an asymptotic equivalence, in mean-square, between these functionals and the L2-norm of the random eigenfunction times a suitable map of the threshold (that vanishes at zero). This formula allows one to determine limiting distribution, correlation phenomena and moderate deviations for these LKCs, and generalizes - in the case of random spherical harmonics - those obtained by Adler and Taylor for their expected value. If time permits, we digress slightly to investigate the local geometry of spin spherical random fields, that is, random sections of the spin line bundles of the sphere. This talk is mainly based on a number of joint works on random spherical harmonics with V. Cammarota, D. Marinucci and I. Wigman + a recent work on spin random fields written jointly with A. Lerario, D. Marinucci and M. Stecconi. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

LUISS math seminar - Regis Chenavaz, November 24, 2022 (& link)
by Sara 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Dear all, I am pleased to announce the next seminar in our series. On Thursday 24 at 12:00 in Room AT03, prof. Chenavaz - KEDGE Business School - will talk about: *The Veblen effect* The increase of demand in price, an exception to the law of demand, is known as the Veblen effect. In Luiss' seminar we present two works on the Veblen effect. In the first (published) work, we consider a profit maximizing monopoly which by means of advertising impacts the price-demand relationship. We show that advertising and goodwill play an important role in making the Veblen effect more prevalent than expected. By employing optimal control theory, we capture the evolution of the variables over time, which may exhibit the Veblen effect where price and demand move in the same direction. In the second (in progress) work, we investigate the price-demand relationship, when price is the sole control variable. We assume that a higher price (control variable) enhances brand-image (state variable) translating into more sales. Using optimal control theory, we look at the conditions for the Veblen effect to happen. Eventually, a more comprehensive understanding of firms’ decisions driving the Veblen effect has a promising impact on securing long-term profits. *Here are the credentials and the link for online participation:* Aula AT03: https://luiss.webex.com/luiss/j.php?MTID=mb27b65706219cee49db438fbecdd0f3d *User*: *w_guest(a)luiss.it <w_guest(a)luiss.it>* *Password*: ihPmCRdl76Q -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli https://www.luiss.it/ Address: Viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *A diagram-free approach to the stochastic estimates in regularity structures* by Markus Tempelmayr (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig) The seminar will take place in person on *TUE, 15.11.2022 at 14:00* in Collegio Puteano, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- Abstract: *A diagram-free approach to the stochastic estimates in regularity structures* *We present an alternative point of view on Hairer's regularity structures that is well suited, but not restricted to, quasilinear singular SPDEs. Guided by symmetries of the equation, we approach the counterterm top-down rather than bottom-up. The model, which captures the local solution behaviour, is indexed by partial derivatives w.r.t. the nonlinearity. This allows for efficient bookkeeping and automated (inductive) proofs. The main assumption on the driving noise is a spectral gap inequality, which complements well the BPHZ choice of renormalization.This is joint work with Pablo Linares, Felix Otto, and Pavlos Tsatsoulis.*

de Finetti Risk Seminar - November 2022
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture: Cosimo Andrea Munari University of Zurich, Switzerland Title: Market-consistent pricing with acceptable risk Abstract: We study the range of prices at which a rational agent should contemplate transacting a financial contract outside a given securities market. Trading is subject to nonproportional transaction costs and portfolio constraints and full replication by way of market instruments is not always possible. Rationality is defined in terms of consistency with market prices and acceptable risk thresholds. We obtain a direct and a dual description of market-consistent prices with acceptable risk. The dual characterization requires an appropriate extension of the classical Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing where the role of arbitrage opportunities is played by good deals, i.e., costless investment opportunities with acceptable risk-reward tradeoff. In particular, we highlight the importance of scalable good deals, i.e., investment opportunities that are good deals regardless of their volume. The talk is based on joint work with Maria Arduca (LUISS Rome). LOCATION: The seminar will be held on *November 30, *2022 at *18.00,* Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A light reception will take place at 17.45. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ.

LUISS math seminar - Huyen Pham, November 8, 2022 (& link)
by Sara 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Dear all, I am pleased to announce the next seminar in our series. *Speaker: Huyen Pham, Université Paris Cité* Abstract. With the emergence of new online channels and information technology, digital advertising tends to substitute more and more to traditional advertising by offering the opportunity to companies to target the consumers/users that are potentially interested by their pro\-ducts or services. We introduce a continuous time model for the study of optimal bidding strategies associated to different types of advertising, namely, commercial advertising for triggering purchases or subscriptions, and social marketing for alerting population about unhealthy behaviours (anti-drug, vaccination, road-safety campaigns). Our framework encodes users online behaviours via their web-browsing at random times, social interactions in a large population of users, and the targeted advertising auction mechanism widely used on Internet. We address the attribution problem of how to efficiently diffuse advertising information by means of digital channels in order to generate conversion. Our main results are to provide semi-explicit formulas for the optimal value and bidding policy in various contexts of commercial advertising and social marketing. We show sensitivity properties of the solution with respect to model parameters, and analyse how the different sources of digital information accessible to users including the social interactions affect the optimal bid for advertising auctions. We also study how to efficiently combine targeted advertising and non-targeted advertising mechanisms. Finally, some classes of examples with fully explicit formulas are derived. The seminar will be held in Room 106, - viale Romania 32, Roma.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 18 Novembre 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Konstantinos Dareiotis* (Purdue University USA) Title: *Regularisation of differential equations by multiplicative fractional noises* Abstract: In this talk, we consider differential equations perturbed by multiplicative fractional Brownian noise. Depending on the value of the Hurst parameter H, the resulting equation is pathwise viewed as an ordinary (H>1), Young (H in (1/2, 1)) or rough (H in (1/3, 1/2)) differential equation. In all three regimes we show regularisation by noise phenomena by proving the strongest kind of well-posedness for equations with irregular drifts: strong existence and path-by-path uniqueness. In the Young and smooth regime H>1/2 the condition on the drift coefficient is optimal in the sense that it agrees with the one known for the additive case. In the rough regime (H in(1/3,1/2)) we assume positive but arbitrarily small drift regularity for strong well-posedness, while for distributional drift we obtain weak existence. This is a joint work with Máté Gerencsér. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87612328974?pwd=OFZnMGxrWll6ZE9uVHdjQTkzYUN3Zz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 18 Novembre 2022, alle ore 11.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Rao Vinayak* (Purdue University USA) Title: *Differential Privacy and Bayesian Computation: Two Vignettes* Abstract: Differential privacy (DP) protects privacy by introducing additional randomness into a recorded dataset. It comes with strong theoretical guarantees, and has become a state-of-the-art framework for privacy protection. In this talk, we consider two complementary challenges raised by DP. In the first part, we recognize that implementing DP mechanisms require sampling algorithms like MCMC or rejection sampling. In these instances, the algorithm runtime itself can leak privacy, so that practical implementations fail to maintain the original theoretical guarantees. To address this, we propose modifications to rejection and adaptive rejection sampling algorithms, with varying assumptions, to protect against timing attacks. In the second part, we focus on a more traditional statistics problem related to differential privacy: given access to only the privatized data, how to perform valid statistical inference on parameters underlying the confidential data. Here, the likelihood function of the privatized data requires integrating over the large space of confidential databases and is typically intractable, resulting, in Bayesian settings, in a posterior distribution that is doubly intractable. We propose a generic MCMC framework which is applicable to a wide range of statistical models and privacy mechanisms. Our MCMC algorithm is a simple wrapper that extends MCMC algorithms for the unobserved confidential data to settings where the data is privatized. Our approach translates privacy guarantees of the DP mechanism into mixing properties of the MCMC algorithm, while maintaining the same order of computational cost as the algorithm for non privatized data. We illustrate the efficacy and applicability of both our ideas on several examples. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87612328974?pwd=OFZnMGxrWll6ZE9uVHdjQTkzYUN3Zz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminar: Riccardo Maffucci at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Dear all, next Thursday, May 5th, Riccardo Maffucci (EPFL) will give a seminar about "Distribution of nodal intersections for random waves". Abstract: This work is in collaboration with Maurizia Rossi. Random waves are Gaussian Laplacian eigenfunctions on the 3D torus. We investigate the length of intersection between the zero (nodal) set, and a fixed surface. Expectation, and variance in a general scenario are prior work. In the generic setting we prove a CLT. We will discuss (smaller order) variance and (non-Gaussian) limiting distribution in the case of ’static’ surfaces (e.g. sphere). Under a certain assumption, there is asymptotic full correlation between intersection length and nodal area. The seminar will take place in Aula De Blasi, Università Tor Vergata, at 16h00. We encourage in-person partecipation, but should you unable to come here is the link to the event on Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project Math@TOV.

avviso di seminario
by malongob＠unina.it 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Università di Napoli Federico II Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Avviso di Seminario Il giorno 15 novembre p.v. alle ore 16 nell'aula G al III livello, la Dott.ssa Fatemeh Hooti, assegnista di ricerca presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e applicazioni, terrà un seminario dal titolo "Optimal Extended Warranty Length With Limited Number of Repairs in The Warranty Period". Abstract: Due to the advances in the technology of complex industrial systems, the consumers of these products are always worried about the costs of purchasing and maintenance of them. Manufacturers also want to increase the number of customers for their products and profit from sales. However, the reliability of engineering systems can be affected by several factors, so the occurrence of failure and the need to repair and maintain these products after their production is inevitable. In this case, the discussion of the warranty of the manufactured products plays an important role in assuring the consumers and also reducing the damages to producers and customers. The policies introduced for the warranty of engineering systems are divided into two categories one-dimensional and two-dimensional warranty based on the number of variables that are aimed at optimizing the fixed and random costs of the project. Also, so far, several cost functions have been considered to check and reduce these costs. In the talk, a policy plan is proposed for the warranty length of a repairable system which consists of a number of minimal repairs and duration of service?. ?For this purpose?, ?two total expected costs of the manufacturer are considered as the objective of the optimization model, and the conditions for finding unique optimal solutions are investigated?.

Un cordiale saluto a tutti, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------------- 8th of November, at 16.00: - in presence: room 201 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Prof. Germain Van Bever Université de Namur, Belgio Title: Flexible Hilbertian Additive Regression with Small Errors-in-Variables Abstract: In this talk, we present a new framework of additive regression modelling for data in very generic settings. More precisely, we tackle the problem of estimating component functions of additive models where the regressors and/or response variable belong to general Hilbert spaces and can be imperfectly observed. By this,we mean that some variables can be either measured incompletely or with errors. Smooth backﬁtting methods are used to estimate consistently the component functions and we provide explicit rates of convergence. We amply illustrate our methodology in various settings, including the functional, Riemannian and Hilbertian settings. -- Enea Bongiorno,PhD Associate Professor of Statistics Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Via Perrone 18, 28100, Novara, Italia Phone: +390321375317 enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it upobook.uniupo.it/enea.bongiorno

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 11 Novembre 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Massimiliano Pontil* (Italian Institute of Technology and University College London) Title: *Learning Dynamical Systems via Koopman Operator Regression in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces* Abstract: In the last couple of years the Koopman operator framework attracted a lot of attention due to growing use of data-driven dynamical systems in science and engineering. Relevant results span fields of functional analysis, numerical algorithms, as well as machine learning. In this talk we will focus on discrete dynamical systems modelled by Markov chains and their study through the corresponding Koopman operator. While many data-driven algorithms to reconstruct such operators are well known, their relationship with statistical learning is largely unexplored. We will introduce a framework to learn the Koopman operator from a finite data sample of the dynamical system. We will limit to the important case when the Markov chain admits an invariant distribution and, relying on the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS), introduce a notion of risk from which different estimators naturally arise. Special attention will be given to the estimation of the Koopman spectral properties, and in particular its modal decomposition (KMD) that is of paramount importance in practice. With this framework we will analyse, theoretically and empirically, some existing estimators, e.g. (extended) dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), and introduce a novel reduced-rank operator regression (RRR) estimator. We will further present learning bounds for the proposed estimator, holding for both data drawn i.i.d. from the invariant distribution and for non i.i.d. data gathered from the trajectories of the dynamical system, the latter in terms of mixing coefficients.

Seminario Sapienza Martedì 8 Novembre
by Lorenzo Taggi 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Cari colleghi, riporto l'annuncio del seminario di Matteo Quattropani presso il dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma. Cordiali saluti, Lorenzo Taggi *Data e ora: *Martedì 8 Novembre, ore 14.15, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma *Title: *Mixing of the Averaging process on graphs *Speaker:* Matteo Quattropani, Sapienza Università di Roma *Abstract:* The Averaging process (a.k.a. repeated averages) is a mass redistribution model over the vertex set of a graph. Given a graph G, the process starts with a non-negative mass associated to each vertex. The edges of G are equipped with Poissonian clocks: when an edge rings, the masses at the two extremes of the edge are equally redistributed on these two vertices. Clearly, as time grows to infinity the state of the system will converge (in some sense) to a flat configuration in which all the vertices have the same mass. The process has been introduced to the probabilistic community by Aldous and Lanoue [1] in 2012, and recently received some attention thanks to the work of Chatterjee, Diaconis, Sly and Zhang [2], where the authors show an abrupt convergence to equilibrium (measured in L^1 distance) in the case in which the underlying graph is complete (and of diverging size). In this talk, I will present some recent results obtained in collaboration with F. Sau (IST Austria) [3,4] and P. Caputo (Roma Tre) [4]. In [3] we show that if the underlying graph is “finite dimensional” (e.g., a finite box of Z^d), then the convergence to equilibrium is smooth (i.e., without cutoff) when measured in L^p with p \in [1,2]. On the other hand, in [4] we show that a cutoff phenomenon (for the L^1 and L^2 distance to equilibrium) takes place when the underlying graph is the hypercube or the complete bipartite graph.

SPASS seminars: Giulia Livieri & Robin Stephenson - TUE 08.11 at 14:00
by Andrea Agazzi 06 Nov '22

06 Nov '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminars, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: - *N-player Games and Mean Field Games of Moderate Interaction* Giulia Livieri (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa) - *Scaling Limits of Multi-Type Markov Branching Trees* Robin Stephenson (University of Sheffield) The seminars will take place in person on *TUE, 08.11.2022 at 14:00* (the second talk starting at 15:00) in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- Abstracts: *N-player Games and Mean Field Games of Moderate Interaction* *We study the asymptotic organization among many optimizing individuals interacting in a suitable "moderate" way. We justify this limiting game by proving that its solution provides approximate Nash equilibria for large but finite player games. This proof depends upon the derivation of a law of large numbers for the empirical processes in the limit as the number of players tends to infinity. Because it is of independent interest, we prove this result in full detail. We characterize the solutions of the limiting game via a verification argument.* *Scaling Limits of Multi-Type Markov Branching Trees* *Consider a population where individuals have two characteristics: a size, which is a positive integer, and a type, which is a member of a finite set. This population reproduces in a Galton-Watson fashion, with one additional condition: given that an individual has size n, the sum of the sizes of its children is less than or equal to n. We call multi-type Markov branching tree the family tree of such a population.*

[PRISMA] seminari di Paolo Dai Pra e Alberto Chiarini
by Domenico Marinucci 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Cari colleghi i seminari del gruppo UMI Prisma riprenderanno a partire da Novembre con il calendario consueto (primo lunedì del mese, ore 16-18, online su piattaforma Teams). Qui sotto i dettagli del prossimo incontro (Paolo Dai Pra e Alberto Chiarini), grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci * November 7, 2022, 16:00-17:00 (CET): Paolo Dai Pra TITLE: Noise-induced periodicity in stochastic dynamics: some examples ABSTRACT: The emergence of periodic behavior in the dynamics of several interacting components is a common pattern of self-organisation in living systems. Rigorous mathematical treatments are still limited to few examples. In this talk we review some of these examples, emphasizing the essential role of the noise in the appearance of regular rhythms. * November 7, 2022, 17:00-18:00 (CET): Alberto Chiarini TITLE: How costly is it for a simple random walk to cover a fraction of amacroscopic body? ABSTRACT: In this talk we aim at establishing large deviation estimates for the probability that a simple random walk on the Euclidean lattice (d>2) covers a substantial fraction of a macroscopic body. It turns out that, when such rare event happens, the random walk is locally well approximated by random interlacements with a specific intensity, which can be used as a pivotal tool to obtain precise exponential rates. Random interlacements have been introduced by Sznitman in 2007 in order to describe the local picture left by the trace of a random walk on a large discrete torus when it runs up to times proportional to the volume of the torus, and has been since a popular object of study. In the first part of the talk we introduce random interlacements and give a brief account of some results surrounding this object. In the second part of the talk we study the event that random interlacements cover a substantial fraction of a macroscopic body. This allows to obtain an upper bound on the probability of the corresponding event for the random walk. Finally, by constructing a near-optimal strategy for the random walk to cover a macroscopic body, we discuss a matching large deviation lower bound. The talk is based on ongoing work with M. Nitzschner (NYU Courant).

Seminario di Gianni Pagnini a Napoli
by Enrica Pirozzi 30 Oct '22

30 Oct '22

--- AVVISO di SEMINARIO Dr. Gianni Pagnini BCAM & Ikerbasque, Bilbao, Spain Title: Fractional diffusion as an intermediate asymptotic regime. Abstract: A continuous-time random walk driven by two different Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms is investigated and it is shown that the paradigmatic features of anomalous diffusion are met. More precisely, anomalous diffusion results from a process that goes through the action of two co-existing Markovian mechanisms acting with different statistical frequency, and the probability of occurrence of this switch between the two Markovian settings originates and fully characterises the anomalous diffusion. In fact, ensemble and single-particle observables of this model have been studied and they match the main characteristics of anomalous diffusion as they are typically measured in living systems. In particular, the celebrated transition of the walker?s distribution from exponential to stretched-exponential and finally to Gaussian distribution is displayed by including also the Brownian yet non-Gaussian interval. Moreover, the model dynamically provides the power-law exponent of the mean-square displacement as a function of the probability of switching between the two Markovian states, namely the fractional order. Hence, fractional diffusion emerges as an intermediate asymptotic regime. Finally, within the present approach, fractional diffusion can be interpreted as a mathematical method for bridging two co-existing equilibrium states in a disordered medium. This talk is based on: Vitali S, Paradisi P and Pagnini 2022 J. Phys. A: Math.

Dear colleagues, We are glad to invite you to the seminar that will take place on the 8th of November, at 16.00: - in presence: room 201 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Prof. Germain Van Bever Université de Namur, Belgio Title: Flexible Hilbertian Additive Regression with Small Errors-in-Variables Abstract: In this talk, we present a new framework of additive regression modelling for data in very generic settings. More precisely, we tackle the problem of estimating component functions of additive models where the regressors and/or response variable belong to general Hilbert spaces and can be imperfectly observed. By this,we mean that some variables can be either measured incompletely or with errors. Smooth backﬁtting methods are used to estimate consistently the component functions and we provide explicit rates of convergence. We amply illustrate our methodology in various settings, including the functional, Riemannian and Hilbertian settings.

Seminar Dombry @Bocconi - Thursday 3/11 at 12:00
by Giacomo Zanella 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

We are glad to announce the following seminar: Thursday, 3rd of November 2022 12:00, Room AS02 (only in presence, no online) Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, floor -1 Speaker: Clément Dombry (Université de Franche-Comté) Title: Stone's theorem and minimax rate of convergence for distributional regression Abstract: Distributional regression aims at estimating the full conditional distribution of the response variable given the covariates and is a fundamental tool in probabilistic forecast. In this talk, we prove Stone's theorem for distributional regression. It establishes universal consistency in Wasserstein distance of a large class of models based on local weights. Next we consider minimax rates of convergence on suitable classes of distributions and prove that nearest neighbor and kernel algorithms are rate optimal. Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

Thank you very much. Sincerely, Gianni Ps: further open positions at BCAM can be found at http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job <http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job> ============== Effective treatment strategies for rare diseases based on gene therapy Project summary Gene therapy medicinal products (GTMPs) are one of the most promising biopharmaceuticals, which are beginning to show encouraging results. Gene therapy based on the administration of DNA, messenger RNA (mRNA) or short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) are intended for gene augmentation or gene suppression, whereas the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or aptamers provides posttranslational gene silencing. The efforts and advances made in this area have led to the development of new therapeutic strategies to treat several disorders, many of them without currently available treatments, as rare diseases. A key challenge for the clinical application of nucleic acid medicinal products entails the availability of delivery systems specifically adapted to their features and purpose. For a successful gene therapy, the delivery systems have to protect the genetic material from degradation, facilitating its internalization in target cells and releasing them intracellularly. The first step for an efficient internalization of the nucleic acid is the interaction between the delivery system and the cell membrane. Therefore, the understanding of the intracellular behaviour of the nanodelivery systems, the nucleic acid they carry (mRNA, DNA, siRNA, shRNA or ASO) and the endosomes after the internalization process will allow to advance in the design of nucleic acid based-nanomedicines aiming to improve the effectiveness of gene therapy treatments, by developing strategies for an improved intracellular delivery and endosomal escape. The issue of physical understanding and mathematical modelling of nanodelivering is still an open problem. As a matter of fact, anomalous diffusion emerged in living systems, namely, diffusing particles do not follow rules and properties of Brownian motion, and delivering by nanoparticles also goes according to anomalous diffusion such that modelling and understanding of anomalous diffusion is fundamental for gene therapy improvement. Therefore, new and advanced techniques are required for modelling such random motions and further studies needed for the understanding of the underlying statistical physics. It is well-known that anomalous diffusion is strongly related with fractional diffusion equations that are differential equations involving integral operators defined within the branch of mathematical analysis named Fractional Calculus. Under the point of view of statistical physics, these systems show not classical features as, for example, long-range correlations, power-law distributions, weak ergodicity breaking and aging. This framework calls for stochastic processes in inhomogeneous media and/or for heterogeneous ensembles of particles and then within the families, for example, of scaled Brownian motion and diffusing-diffusivity as well as those of the generalized gray Brownian motion and the superstatistical fractional Brownian motion, in general, and their under-damped extension. In general, the project aims to assess in deep the intracellular behavior of lipid nanoparticles for nucleic acid delivery for establishing models of anomalous diffusion useful to optimize the nanomedicines since the first steps of development. An important step towards further progress in the clinical application of gene therapy is expected and the results be applied in a number of delivery systems and diseases. The project will be mainly focused on the following rare diseases: Rare metabolic diseases; Rare retinal degenerative diseases; CAR therapy in pediatric acute leukemia, that are currently investigated by the PharmaNanoGene group at the Faculty of Pharmacy (UPV/EHU) and Bioaraba Health Research Institute. The development of the proper stochastic processes for nanodelivering and the interpretation of the corresponding statistical physics will be conducted by the Statistical Physics group at BCAM led by the proponent Ikerbasque Research Associate Gianni Pagnini has decades of experience in the field of fractional diffusion equations and the development of the related models, while the molecular simulations and advanced data analysis will be provided by the Mathematical, Computational and Experimental Neuroscience group at BCAM led by Ikerbasque Professor Serafim Rodrigues. — Gianni Pagnini Ikerbasque Research Associate BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics Alameda de Mazarredo, 14 E-48009 Bilbao, Basque Country - Spain Tel. +34 946 567 842 gpagnini(a)bcamath.org | www.bcamath.org/gpagnini ( matematika mugaz bestalde )

UNIBO Statistics Seminars: Davide Ferrari, Free University of Bolzano/Bozen
by Simone Giannerini 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

We are glad to announce the following Statistics Seminar: Friday, October 28, 11.30 a.m. Davide Ferrari (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano) Fast Construction of Optimal Composite Likelihoods Abstract A composite likelihood is a combination of low-dimensional likelihood objects useful in applications where the data have complex structure. Although composite likelihood construction is a crucial aspect influencing both computing and statistical properties of the resulting estimator, currently there does not seem to exist a universal rule to combine low-dimensional likelihood objects that is statistically justified and fast in execution. This paper develops a methodology to select and combine the most informative low-dimensional likelihoods from a large set of candidates while carrying out parameter estimation. The new procedure minimizes the distance between composite likelihood and full likelihood scores subject to a constraint representing the afforded computing cost. The selected composite likelihood is sparse in the sense that it contains a relatively small number of informative sub-likelihoods while the noisy terms are dropped. The resulting estimator is found to have asymptotic variance close to that of the minimum-variance estimator constructed using all the low-dimensional likelihoods.

Kind Regards, Fulvia Pennoni On behalf of the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods /--------------/ *Speaker*: Catherine Matias from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Sorbonne University, Paris *Title*: /Properties of the stochastic approximation EM algorithm with the mini-batch sampling/ *Abstract*: To deal with very large datasets a mini-batch version of the Monte Carlo Markov Chain Stochastic Approximation Expectation–Maximization algorithm for general latent variable models is proposed. For exponential models the algo rithm is shown to be convergent under classical conditions as the number of iterations increases. Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of the mini-batch algorithm in various models. In particular, we highlight that mini-batch sampling results in an important speed-up of the convergence of the sequence of estimators generated by the algorithm. Moreover, insights on the effect of the mini-batch size on the limit distribution are presented. Finally, we illustrate how to use mini-batch sampling in practice to improve results when a constraint on the computing time is given. -- Fulvia Pennoni Ph.D. Dpt of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca

Dear Colleagues, the Department of Statistics, Computer Science, Application of University of Florence is glad to invite you to the following seminar: Raffaele Argiento (Università degli Studi Bergamo) Thursday 20 October 2022, 2:30 pm Dipartimento di Statistica, Informatica, Applicazioni "G. Parenti”, room 205 Viale Morgagni, 59, Firenze Hierarchical normalized finite point process: predictive structure and clustering Abstract Almost surely discrete random probability measures have received close attention in the Bayesian nonparametric community. They have been used to model populations of individuals or latent parameters (in the mixture model setting) composed of unfixed species with unknown proportions. In this framework, data are usually assumed to be exchangeable. However, the latter assumption is not appropriate when data are divided in multiple groups which may share the same species. If so, partially exchangeability accommodates the dependence across populations.

Seminar: Erik Lindström 24 October: Feature Selection in Jump Models
by Fulvia Pennoni 19 Oct '22

Dear all, We are glad to invite you to the *seminar* that will take place on the *24th of October, at 14.30*, in presence in Room *Aula Seminari DiSMeQ 4026, building U7* Civitas, 4th floor, *University of Milano-Bicocca*, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, 20126 Milano. *Erik Lindström <https://www.maths.lu.se/staff/erik-lindstroem/>*from *Lund University* will present a seminar on “*Feature Selection in Jump Models*” (see abstract below).

Kind Regards, Fulvia Pennoni On behalf of the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods /--------------/ *Speaker*: Erik Lindström from Lund University *Title*: /Feature Selection in Jump Models/ *Abstract*: Hidden Markov models are a popular choice for inferring the hidden state of financial markets as the states often are interpreted as market regimes. This interpretation implicitly assumes that the underlying state sequence has a certain level of persistence. However, when a hidden Markov model is misspecified or misestimated, it often leads to unrealistically rapid switching dynamics. We propose a novel estimation approach based on clustering temporal features while penalizing jumps. The advantages of the proposed jump estimator include that it learns the hidden state sequence and model parameters simultaneously while providing control over the transition rate, it is less sensitive to initialization, it performs better when the number of states increases, and it is robust to misspecified conditional distributions. In addition, feature selection is necessary in high-dimensional settings where the number of features is large compared to the number of observations and the underlying states differ only with respect to a subset of the features. We develop and implement a coordinate descent algorithm that alternates between selecting the features and estimating the model parameters and state sequence, which scales to large data sets with large numbers of (noisy) features. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework by comparing it with a number of other methods on both simulated and real data in the form of financial returns, protein sequences, and text. The resulting sparse jump model outperforms all other methods considered and is remarkably robust to noise. -- Fulvia Pennoni Ph.D. Dpt of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca

We lay down a simple and efficient methodology to evaluate the amount of pro-cyclicality in the way financial institutions measure risk. To do so, we introduce a new indicator based on the Sample Quantile Process (a dynamic extension of Value-at-Risk), conditioned on realized volatility. Using this framework, we prove that pro-cyclicality is inherent in risk measure estimates based on historical data. We identify two main factors explaining this pro-cyclical behavior: the clustering and return-to-the-mean of volatility, as it could have been anticipated but not yet quantified, and, more surprisingly, the very way risk is measured, even in a world with constant volatility, though the empirical magnitude of the mean-reversion is greater than what would be observed in that special case. We develop CLTs and FCLT’s for functionals of quantile and dispersion estimators to support theoretically those empirical findings. This is a joint work with Dr. Marcel Bräutigam and Dr. Michel Dacorogna. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85751895656?pwd=dTBiQTAzd3BoODRoZmQzMlZWTDZIQT09> Meeting ID: 857 5189 5656 Passcode: 166674 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Roxana Dumitrescu's talk, Milan 19/10/22
by Luciano Campi 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Dear all I am happy to announce the following seminar by Roxana Dumitrescu (King’s College London), you’ll find details on date and venue below the abstract Title: Control and stopping mean-field games: the linear programming approach Abstract: In this talk, we present recent results on the linear programming approach to mean-field games in a general setting. This relaxed control approach allows to prove existence results under weak assumptions, and lends itself well to numerical implementation. We consider mean-field game problems where the representative agent chooses both the optimal control and the optimal time to exit the game, where the instantaneous reward function and the coefficients of the state process may depend on the distribution of the other agents. Furthermore, we establish the equivalence between mean-field games equilibria obtained by the linear programming approach and the ones obtained via other approaches used in the previous literature. We then present a fictious play algorithm to approximate the mean-field game population dynamics in the context of the linear programming approach. Finally, we give an application of the theoretical and numerical contributions introduced in the first part of the talk to an entry-exit game in electricity markets. The talk is based on several works, joint with R. Aïd, G. Bouveret, M. Leutscher and P. Tankov. Date and time: 19 October 2022, 11am Venue: Sala di Rappresentanza, Departimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano.

(PMS)^2 talk - De Vecchi - October 17 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Francesco Carlo De Vecchi (Università di Pavia) Title: A differential characterization of exponential quantum field theory on the plane Abstract: Characterizing a probability measure through an integration by parts formula is a classical problem in stochastic analysis. It finds applications in (Euclidean) quantum field theory, being related to the solutions of the equations of motion for the correlation functions of the quantum field. We approach this problem in the particular case of quantum field theory with exponential interaction on $\mathbb{R}^2$, studying a Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation associated to the stochastic quantization equation for such a model. We prove that, under some conditions on the support of the measure, the solution to this Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation exists and is unique, providing a complete characterization of the exponential measure by an integration by parts formula. The talk is based on a joint work with Massimiliano Gubinelli and Mattia Turra. Date and time: Monday October 17, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Entra nella riunione in Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89875903841?pwd=NnJUclZidHl6RTg0a0ljcEVNVXp5UT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89875903841?pwd=NnJUclZidHl6RTg0a0ljcEVNVXp5UT09> ID riunione: 898 7590 3841 Passcode: 262094 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

One World ABC Seminar: Radu Craiu, October 20, 2.30pm
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Dear all, our next One World ABC Seminar https://warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> is quickly approaching. Our next speaker is Radu Craiu <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Futstat.to…> (University of Toronto), who will talk about "Bayesian Computation Strategies for Big Data and Intractable Models" on Thursday, October 20, 2.30pm Uk time (Zoom link and password are reported below) Abstract: Bayesian computation is in double jeopardy due to massive data volumes that make the usual MCMC samplers too computationally expensive and/or models with intractable likelihoods. Even under such adverse conditions, Bayesian data analysis can still be conducted using divide and conquer strategies and/or approximate methods such as Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) or Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood (BSL). We discuss some recent work that addresses these challenges, including perturbed MCMC samplers that are used within the ABC and BSL paradigms to significantly accelerate computation while maintaining control on computational efficiency.

Postdoctoral position in Torino

11 Oct '22

Con preghiera di diffusione a potenziali interessati. Grazie Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/> Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino Title: FAST INFERENTIAL STRATEGIES WITH COX-INGERSOLL-ROSS DRIVEN HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS AND THEIR EXTENSIONS Supervisor: Matteo Ruggiero (University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/> Brief description: The project aims at improving current inferential techniques addressed to diffusions like Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes or their extensions, e.g. Dawson-Watanabe processes, or transformations, e.g., Wright-Fisher and Fleming-Viot diffusions. We will tackle Bayesian inference on the trajectory of such diffusions or on the parameters that characterize drift and volatility, under the assumption of a hidden Markov model framework with noisy data collection. We will typically exploit duality properties, which allow to write the conditional distributions of the hidden signal given the data in simpler forms than those obtained through the transition density of the signal, especially when the latter is only available as a series expansion, together with simulation and approximation strategies, which aim at accelerating the inference by leveraging on the discrete nature of the dual process state space. Such approaches will be used to make direct inference on the process trajectory and to set up Markov chain Monte Carlo strategies that target the estimation of the process parameters. Duration: 12 months, renewable. Application deadline: h13 Oct 24, 2022 Starting date: Dec 1 or later, 2022 Further info: matteo.ruggiero(a)unito.it Applications through https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/ <https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/> Reference number for the call: 4382; code reference in the call: ESOMAS.2022.08/XXIV.

Partially rectifying a previous message: Good morning, Hope my email finds you well. We are hiring a *PhD position in Statistics at the University of Milano-Bicocca from December 2022* (session III, published on October 3,2022, with *deadline for application on October 17 *at noon). More information about the content of the research can be found below, and at the link https://en.unimib.it/education/postgraduates/doctoral-research-phd-programm… Best, Francesca Greselin <https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=25936155400> Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca *Title of the research* Statistical methodologies for the development of green and eco-sustainable cosmetic products from marine environmental DNA *Abstract * Sustainable Fashion, Luxury, and Design are currently key sectors of Milan's economy. There is an increasing interest in an ecological and digital transition within all economic sectors, and Milan Universities, together with many innovative firms, are heading such an effort, also in the cosmetics field. This research project aims to contribute to transforming the production and distribution processes within the area of cosmetics to reduce environmental impacts and foster the market transition. The research will have a first phase to perform market research on cosmetics and luxury, firstly on bibliographic sources, and successively integrating different sources of information obtained from public repositories and from specific analyses that can be conducted on web scraped data. The first part of the study aims to understand and assess customers' interest in green cosmetics for topical use and identify the specific features that could make a difference in market share. As a result, particular skills related to data collection through different sources, data cleaning, and data integration should be developed along with the research. It also involves the processing of a vast amount of data, therefore, a good familiarity with and/or predisposition to the use of big data is welcome and desirable. Research should be carried on to devise the key factors required by the market or beneficial to it, and to scrutinize appropriate models for economic forecasting. The second phase of the research will be carried out on experimental data originated by studying new products. Within a wise ecological transition, microplastics will be replaced with natural materials for cosmetic products. This transition will be performed in collaboration with the Bicocca Marhe center (located on Maldives island), where particular plant species are found, and great biodiversity is available for the purpose. The activities will be conducted under a surveillance protocol to monitor these marine species' conservation status and assess the impact of human activities, to protect important offshore marine sites. Experiments with new cosmetics will also originate from studies of the microbiota of the skin, and how it is altered and modified with newly developed products. New chemical formulas will be experimented to find alternatives to analog formulas used in valid but not green cosmetics, perfecting and optimizing existing molecules, and formulating them as better alternative products. Finally, the third part of the research will be devoted to providing indications for production and distribution processes that will agree with the project's overall purpose of sustainability. Possible research exchange visits are envisaged with other foreign universities currently involved in ongoing collaborations.

SPASS seminar: Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), 11 October, 11:30

06 Oct '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: The free energy of (a box version of) the interacting Bose gas Prof. Wolfgang König, WIAS and TU Berlin (abstract below) The seminar will take place on 11 October at 11:30 in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica “Ulisse Dini”, Firenze, and streamed online here <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg&source=gm…>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- Abstract: The interacting quantum Bose gas is a random ensemble of many Brownian bridges (cycles) of various lengths with interactions between any pair of legs of the cycles. It is one of the standard mathematical models in which a proof for the famous Bose–Einstein condensation phase transition is sought for. We introduce a simplified version of the model in $Z^d$ instead of $R^d$ and with an organisation of the particles in deterministic boxes in- stead of Brownian cycles as the marks of a reference Poisson point process. We derive an explicit and interpretable variational formula in the thermody- namic limit for the canonical ensemble for any value of the particle density. In this formula, each of the microscopic particles and the macroscopic part of the configuration are seen explicitly (if they exist); the latter receives the interpretation of the condensate. The methods comprises a two step large- deviation approach for marked Poisson point processes and an explicit dis- tinction into microscopic and macroscopic marks. We discuss the conden- sate phase transition in terms of existence of minimizer.

Fwd: January 24-25 IRS 2023 Conference Announcement
by Faggionato, Alessandra 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Buongiorno ricevo ed inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Inhomegenous Random <inter(a)math.cnrs.fr> Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2022 at 22:44 Subject: January 24-25 IRS 2023 Conference Announcement To: <faggiona(a)mat.uniroma1.it> Dear Colleagues, This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on: INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS which will be held on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 January 2023 at Institut Curie and Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris, and also on-line. You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement with the same informations as below which you may print and post up. Looking forward to meeting you in Paris, Giambattista Giacomin, Christian Maes, Ellen Saada. --------------------------------------------------------------------- INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes January 24-25, 2023 Institut Curie & IHP (also online) 11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a specific topic; the 2021 session is planned as follows. Tuesday 24 January: POINT PROCESSES AND STATISTICAL MECHANICS. Moderator: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma). Nontrivial geometrical patterns emerge in many areas of science and technology and a fundamental tool for their modeling is provided by point processes. Their zoology is very rich and a central role is played by the Poisson point process. The workshop aims at presenting recent results on point processes both of theoretical nature (analysis, geometry and probability) and more applied ones, notably in the direction of statistical mechanics and material science. There will also be a moment in memory of our friend and colleague Francis Comets. Speakers: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma), Antoine Gloria (Paris & Bruxelles), Frank den Hollander (Leiden), Martin Huesmann (Muenster), Sabine Jansen (Muenchen), Raphael Lachieze-Rey (Paris), Giovanni Peccati (Luxembourg). Wednesday 25 January: FREE PROBABILITY, BETWEEN MATHS AND PHYSICS. Moderator: Jorge Kurchan (Paris) Free probability is a flourishing field in probability theory. It deals with non-commutative random variables where one introduces the concept of "freeness" in analogy to "independence" of commuting random variables. On the mathematical side, it has given new tools and a deeper insight into, amongst others, the field of random matrices.

Dear colleagues, I am happy to forward you the information regarding the following seminar organized by LTI@UniTO. The seminar can also be attended via zoom at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86733344211?pwd=UGNoUi9CNFM5bE5SNmNaeFR6bTJsQT09 Best regards, Luca Regis LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar: October 3, 2022 | 12:00-13:00 “How do Funds Deviate from Benchmarks? Evidence from MSCI’s Inclusion of Chinese A-shares” (joint with Lennart Dekker and Jasmin Gider) Frank de Jong (Tilburg University) Abstract. An increasing amount of assets is managed by benchmark-tracking investment funds. This study investigates how benchmarking changes affect portfolio compositions in the cross-section of different investor types and stock characteristics. To that end, we exploit the phased introduction of Chinese A-shares to the MSCI Emerging Markets index, which was announced in June 2017 and implemented over the period from May 2018 to November 2019. This change presents a rare opportunity to estimate the impact of index changes and to shed light on cross-sectional implications. We document that particularly passive funds systematically deviate from the benchmark. Market capitalization, stock liquidity and stock volatility affect how benchmark changes translate to portfolio adjustments of mutual funds and ETFs. We then study how the changes in benchmark weights affect financial market outcomes, more specifically the comovement of returns. We find that these characteristics moderate the impact of benchmarking changes on financial market outcomes, suggesting that deviations from benchmarks matter.

The link to join the talk is https://bristol-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/93353511660?pwd=MmFTNUR5QkFBeStlenNVemtZbzJ… Meeting ID: 933 5351 1660 Passcode: 406075 We are looking forward to seeing you there, Best regards, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Organisers When: 29th September, 1.30pm UK time Speaker: Till Hoffmann <https://tillahoffmann.github.io/> (Harward T.H. Chan School of Publich Health) Title: Minimizing the Expected Posterior Entropy Yields Optimal Summary Statistics Abstract: Extracting low-dimensional summary statistics from large datasets is essential for efficient (likelihood-free) inference. We propose obtaining summary statistics by minimizing the expected posterior entropy (EPE) under the prior predictive distribution of the model. We show that minimizing the EPE is equivalent to learning a conditional density estimator for the posterior as well as other information-theoretic approaches. Further summary extraction methods (including minimizing the L² Bayes risk, maximizing the Fisher information, and model selection approaches) are special or limiting cases of EPE minimization. We demonstrate that the approach yields high fidelity summary statistics by applying it to both a synthetic benchmark as well as a population genetics problem. We not only offer concrete recommendations for practitioners but also provide a unifying perspective for obtaining informative summary statistics. Reference: T. Hoffmann and J.P. Onnela.

Dear all, this is a gentle memo of the seminar by Soren Christensen, Uni-Kiel, September 29 at 12:30 e verterà su: *Nonparametric approaches to data-driven stochastic control* Abstract: One of the fundamental assumptions in stochastic control of continuous-time processes is that the dynamics of the underlying process are known. This is, however, usually obviously not fulfilled in practice. On the other hand, a rich theory for nonparametric estimation of the characteristics of continuous-time processes has been developed over the last decades. In this talk, we discuss how to bring together these two areas for developing purely data-driven strategies for stochastic control, which we explore for ergodic impulse and singular control problems. We compare the results with those of deep-Q learning algorithms.

Dear all, on Friday 23 september, at 3pm , we will have the pleasure to host the seminar of Prof. Eckhard Platen from University of Sydney, who is visiting our math department during this week. The seminar will be in presence at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova, room 702 (stair B, 7th floor at via Trieste 63, Padova) and available on Zoom at the following address: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/86350461357 Title and abstract of the presentation are here below. Modeling Long-Term Stock Market Dynamics via Entropy Maximization Eckhard Platen University of Technology Sydney Abstract: By assuming the existence of the growth optimal portfolio (GP) and maximizing the entropy for a hierarchically structured stock market, the paper derives the GP dynamics as those of time-transformed squared Bessel processes of dimension four. The average of each of their squared volatility components is shown to converge toward a common level. The initial values of basis security accounts turn out to be gamma-distributed. The risk-adjusted return of the GP is not depending on a savings account and can be significantly higher than classical assumptions allow to explain.

Seminar Toulis @Bocconi - 22nd Sept at 12:00
by Giacomo Zanella 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

We are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar (more details at link <https://bidsa.unibocconi.eu/bidsa-hybrid-seminar-randomization-inference-tr…> ): Thursday, 22nd September 2022 12:00, Room AS01 + Zoom Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, floor -1 *Speaker**: Panos Toulis (University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, * https://www.ptoulis.com/) *Title:* Randomization Inference of Treatment Spillover Effects *Abstract:*In causal inference, interference exists when a unit’s outcome depends on the treatment assignments of other units. For example, intensive policing on one street could have a spillover effect on neighboring streets. Analyzing such effects with a model-based approach (e.g., regression) can be misleading because it requires strong, untestable assumptions on how spillovers behave asymptotically. A more robust approach is to use the randomization method, which resamples the treatment according to the experiment design in order to accurately quantify uncertainty. However, the classical method breaks down under spillovers because many null hypotheses of interest are not "sharp", i.e., they offer no information for some units in the sample. In this talk, I will propose valid, powerful, and easy-to-implement randomization tests for a general class of non-sharp null hypotheses that allow for arbitrary spillovers between units. The key idea is to represent the hypothesis of interest as a bipartite graph between units and assignments, and to find a clique of this graph. Importantly, the null hypothesis is sharp in this clique, enabling randomization-based inference conditional on the clique. I will illustrate this approach in three applications: (i) settings with clustered interference, (ii) a large-scale policing experiment in Medellín (Colombia), and (iii) an experiment designed to increase business firm performance by cultivating interfirm relationships. *Zoom information:*Join Zoom Meeting: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/93778273056 Meeting ID: 937 7827 3056 Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

de Finetti Risk Seminar - settembre 2022
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture: Felix Liebrich Hannover University, Germany Title: A tale of one (or many) probabilities. Abstract: A crucial condition that allows to establish that two probability charges lambda-system agree is Marinacci’s Uniqueness Theorem (MUT). A countably additive probability charge Q and a convex-ranged probability charge P agree if there is a nontrivial event such that Q is constant on the generated P-equilikelihood class. Special cases of the MUT can be derived from Lyapunov’s Convexity Theorem and the sharp version of the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds. A further alternative formulation of the assumption of the MUT is that the Q-expectation functional on simple random variables is locally P-invariant. It is this overlap between invariance and uniqueness that is the focus of the talk. We look at functionals defined on random variables that are globally invariant with respect to a reference probability P. Fixing a functional we ask the uniqueness question: Can there be more than one such such reference probability? For wide classes of functionals, we see that this is not the case unless they are (i) constant, or (ii) more generally depend only on the essential supremum and essential infimum of the argument. In the second part of the talk we return to the MUT and the recent, but significant extension provided by Svistula that dispenses with the countable additivity of Q. We expand and clarify the nature of the Svistula-MUT and uncover several equivalent conditions that enhance the applicability of said result. As a consequence, we present several applications.

Seminario Prof. Domenico Marinucci
by Enrica Pirozzi 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Title: The Geometry of Time-Dependent Spherical Random Fields Prof. Domenico Marinucci Università di Roma Tor Vergata Abstract: The investigation of the behaviour for geometric functionals of random fields on manifolds has drawn recently considerable attention. In this talk, we consider fluctuations over time for the excursion area and the length of level curves of time-dependent Gaussian spherical random fields. We focus on both long and short memory assumptions; in the former case, we show that the fluctuations are dominated by a single component, corresponding to a second-order chaos evaluated on a subset of the multipole components for the random field. We prove the existence of cancellation points where the variance is asymptotically of smaller order; these points may not include the nodal case u=0, in marked contrast with recent results on the high-frequency behaviour of nodal lines for random eigenfunctions with no temporal dependence.

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Title: Non-gaussian processes linked to H-functions Prof.ssa Luisa Beghin Università di Roma La Sapienza Abstract. In the context of non-Gaussian analysis, Schneider [1] introduced grey noise measures, built upon Mittag-Leffler functions; analogously, grey Brownian motion and its generalizations were constructed (see, for example, [2], [3], [4], [5]). In [6], we construct and study a new non-Gaussian measure, by means of the incomplete-gamma function (exploiting its complete monotonicity).The related generalized processes, in the infinite dimensional setting, are also defined and, through the use of the Riemann-Liouville fractional operators, the (possibly tempered) Gamma-grey Brownian motion is consequently introduced. All the above mentioned processes allow modeling anomalous diffusions, mimicking the procedures of classical stochastic calculus. Finally, we present the extensions of the previous results obtained by means of the Fox H-functions, which generalize both the Mittag-Leffler and the incomplete-gamma functions (under appropriate assumptions).

avviso di seminario: Mathematical AI for molecular data analysis
by Alessandra Micheletti 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Con preghiera di diffusione *Annuncio di seminario* Il giorno 26 Settembre 2022 ore 15.00 nella Sala di Rappresentanza del Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano Via Saldini 50, Milano il* Dr. Kelin Xia,* *Nanyang Technological University, Singapore* terrà il seguente seminario *Mathematical AI for molecular data analysis* *Abstract:* Artificial intelligence (AI) based molecular data analysis has begun to gain momentum due to the great advancement in experimental data, computational power and learning models. However, a major issue that remains for all AI-based learning models is the efficient molecular representations and featurization. Here we propose advanced mathematics-based molecular representations and featurization (or feature engineering). Molecular structures and their interactions are represented as various simplicial complexes (Rips complex, Neighborhood complex, Dowker complex, and Hom-complex), hypergraphs, and Tor-algebra-based models. Molecular descriptors are systematically generated from various persistent invariants, including persistent homology, persistent Ricci curvature, persistent spectral, and persistent Tor-algebra. These features are combined with machine learning and deep learning models, including random forest, CNN, RNN, Transformer, BERT, and others. They have demonstrated great advantage over traditional models in drug design and material informatics. *Short Bio:* Dr. Kelin Xia obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Jan 2013. He was a visiting scholar in the department of Mathematics, Michigan State University from Dec 2009-Dec 2012. From Jan 2013 to May 2016, he worked as a visiting assistant professor at Michigan State University. He joined Nanyang Technological University at Jun 2016. His research focused on Mathematical AI for molecular sciences. He has published >60 papers and has been PI and Co-PI for 15 grants (>3.0M SGD). Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di Rongfeng Sun a Milano-Bicocca (9 set 2022)
by Francesco Caravenna 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Ho il piacere di annunciare il seminario di Rongfeng Sun (National University of Singapore): "A new correlation inequality for Ising models with external fields" che si terrà venerdì 9 settembre 2022 alle ore 14:00 in aula U5-3014 (Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicocca). Trovate l'abstract di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract. We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the external field is identically 0. One corollary is that spin-spin correlation is maximised when the external field vanishes. In particular, the random field Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, exhibits exponential decay of correlations in the entire high temperature regime of the pure Ising model. Another corollary is that the pure Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, satisfies the conjectured strong spatial mixing property in the entire high temperature regime. Based on joint work with Jian Ding and Jian Song. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ 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/ _________________________________________

Dear colleagues, We are glad to invite you to the seminar that will take place on the 8th of September, at 16.00: - in presence: room 101 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: https://meet.google.com/xaz-bwct-dqo *An Introduction to Saddlepoint Approximations* *Prof. Elvezio Ronchetti* Research Center for Statistics and Geneva School of Economics and Management University of Geneva, Switzerland Elvezio.Ronchetti(a)unige.ch www.unige.ch/gsem/en/research/faculty/honorary-professors/elvezio-ronchetti/ *Abstract:* Classical inference in statistics is typically carried out by means of standard (first-order) asymptotic theory. However, the asymptotic distribution of estimators and test statistics can provide a poor approximation of tail areas especially when the sample size is moderate to small. This can lead to inaccurate p-values and confidence intervals. Several techniques, both parametric and nonparametric, have been devised to improve first-order asymptotic approximations, including e.g. Edgeworth expansions, Bartlett's corrections, and bootstrap methods. Here we focus on saddlepoint techniques, introduced into statistics by H. Daniels, and more generally on small sample asymptotic techniques, an expression coined by F. Hampel to express the spirit of these methods. Indeed they provide very accurate approximations of tail probabilities down to small sample sizes and /or out in the tails. Moreover, these approximations exhibit a relative error of order 1/n, an improvement with respect to other available approximations obtained by means of Edgeworth expansions and similar techniques. We will review the basic ideas, show the link with other nonparametric methods such as empirical likelihood, and outline some connections to information theory and optimal transportation.

AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Venerdì 2 settembre 2022, alle ore 14:00, nell'aula Dal Passo del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata si terrà il seguente seminario (in presenza e online): On the skew and curvature of implied and local volatilities Elisa Alòs, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) Abstract. In this talk, we study the relationship between the short-end of the local and the implied volatility surfaces. Our results, based on Malliavin calculus techniques, recover the recent $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ rule (where $H$ denotes the Hurst parameter of the volatility process) for rough volatilitites (see Bourgey, De Marco, Friz, and Pigato (2022)), that states that the short-time skew slope of the at-the-money implied volatility is $\frac{1}{H+3/2}$ the corresponding slope for local volatilities. Moreover, we see that the at-the-money short-end curvature of the implied volatility can be written in terms of the short-end skew and curvature of the local volatility and viceversa, and that this relationship depends on $H$.

UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Giovedì 1 settembre 2022, alle ore 12:00, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, si terrà il seguente seminario in presenza e online (su Teams): *Analyzing the loss of protection in an SVIS stochastic model with infection reintroduction, when vaccines are partially effective* Prof.ssa *Maria Jesus Lopez-Herrero* Department of Statistics and Data Science, Faculty of Statistical Studies, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT This talk deals with a stochastic Susceptible-Infected-Vaccinated-Susceptible (*SIVS*) model with infection reintroduction, where the propagation of a contagious disease was modeled in terms of a continuous time Markov chain. A communicable disease spreads in a homogeneous moderately-sized community of constant size in which individuals are identical in terms of social mixing and disease contact or recovery characteristics. Health policies depend on a vaccine coverage that guarantees herd immunity levels in the population. Hence, for community protection, a certain number of individuals were vaccinated against the contagious disease before the outbreak starts. Vaccine failures occur when an organism develops a disease despite of being vaccinated against it. After vaccination, a proportion of healthy individuals unsuccessfully tries to increase antibody levels and, consequently these individuals are not immune to the vaccine preventable disease. When an infectious process is in progress, the initial vaccine coverage drops down and herd immunity will be lost. Our objective is to introduce a threshold for vaccination level and study random characteristics depending on this threshold and also on the vaccination eligible group that could advise health authorities when to launch a new vaccination program to recover the initial immunity level. link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWUxYmVmYmQtOWVmMC00… Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare.
