(PMS)^2 talk - Bertacco - July 18 at 15.00
by Carlo Orrieri 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Federico Bertacco (Imperial College London) Title: Multifractal analysis of Gaussian multiplicative chaos and applications Abstract: We consider a subcritical Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure $M$ associated with a general log-correlated Gaussian field defined on a $d$-dimensional bounded domain, $d \geq 1$. We establish an explicit formula for its singularity spectrum by showing that $M$ satisfies almost surely the multifractal formalism, i.e. we prove that its singularity spectrum is almost surely equal to the Legendre-Fenchel transform of its $L^q$-spectrum. Finally, applying this result, we compute the lower singularity spectrum of the Liouville Brownian motion. Date and time: Monday July 18, 15:00-16:00 (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/87485209321?pwd=cmh1UFMxcktqUmZWMFpRVWxRbHFZUT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87485209321?pwd=cmh1UFMxcktqUmZWMFpRVWxRbHFZUT09> ID riunione: 874 8520 9321 Passcode: 202144 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 and Milano-Statale.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Maximilian Nitzschner (NYU Courant Institute)
by alessandra bianchi 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on July 15 at 14.30. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Maximilian Nitzschner (NYU Courant Institute) Title: Phase transition for level-set percolation of the membrane model Date and time: Friday, JULY 15 - 14.30 Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/85663140963 (meeting ID 856 6314 0963), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: We consider level-set percolation for the Gaussian membrane model on the integer lattice in dimensions five and higher, and establish that as h varies, a non-trivial percolation phase transition for the level-set above level h occurs at some finite critical level, which is positive in high dimensions. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of a strongly subcritical phase, in which we provide bounds for the connectivity function of the level-set above h, and a strongly supercritical phase, in which we characterize the geometry of the level-set above level h. As a pivotal tool, we present novel (conditional) decoupling inequalities for the membrane model, which are instrumental in the study of both the subcritical and supercritical phases of its level-sets. This talk is based on joint work with Alberto Chiarini. -- 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/

This hallmark of chaos has long been observed in these models, however, no mathematical proof had previously been made for any type of deterministic or stochastic forcing. We propose a new method, based on the Fisher information of an associated Markov process on the sphere bundle and uniform hypoelliptic regularity estimates, which has the ability to obtain quantitative estimates on the top Lyapunov exponents of high-dimensional, weakly dissipative SDEs.

Results from the ”statespace reconstruction” or “geometry from a time series” literature in nonlinear dynamics indicate that just 2d + 1 such functions will typically suffice to identify a model with a d-dimensional parameter space. Results from the “random features” literature in machine learning suggest that using random functions of the data can be an efficient replacement for using optimal functions. In this talk, I sketch some of the key results, present numerical evidence about the new method’s properties, and lay out an agenda for research. Reference: C. Shalizi.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Leonardo Maini (Université du Luxembourg) to be held Wednesday, June 22nd, in Aula Contini, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The seminar will take place in full presence (speaker included), but it will be streamed via Google Meets, link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: *Aula Contini*, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: June 22nd 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Leonardo Maini (Université du Luxembourg) Title: Spectral central limit theorem for additive functionals of Gaussian fields Abstract: We consider a centered, continuous, stationary, Gaussian field on the Euclidean space and a sequence of non-linear additive functionals of the field. Since the pioneering works from the 80s by Breuer, Dobrushin, Major, Rosenblatt, Taqqu and others, central and non-central limit theorems for this kind of functionals have never ceased to be refined. The common intuition is that the limit is Gaussian when we have short-memory and non-Gaussian when we have long-memory and the Hermite rank R is different from 1. Our goal is to show that this can be a misleading intuition. To do that, we introduce a spectral central limit theorem, which highlights a variety of situations where the limit is Gaussian in a long-memory context with R different from 1. Our main mathematical tools are the Malliavin-Stein method and Fourier analysis. The talk is based on a joint work with Ivan Nourdin (University of Luxembourg).

(PMS)^2 online talk: Lorenzo Taggi
by Maurizia Rossi 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Lorenzo Taggi* (Università di Roma "La Sapienza") Title: *Macroscopic loops in the Bose gas, Spin O(N) and related models.* Abstract: We consider a system of closed random walks which interact through a potential which depends on their mutual distance. The model is an intriguing mathematical object on its own and is closely related to the probabilistic reformulation of the interacting Bose gas in discrete space, to spin systems and to the dimer model. We study the model in dimension d > 2 and prove the occurrence of a phase transition corresponding to the presence of macroscopic loops, whose length is proportional to the size of the system, as the chemical potential is large enough. For the interacting Bose gas the proof of this phase transition is referred to as Bose-Einstein condensation and is one of the most important open problems in statistical mechanics. Date and time: *Monday June 20, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)*. *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81858823936?pwd=dVRQRGcrTzRMMDV1UEJNcHdFN3JyQT09 *ID riunione:* 818 5882 3936 *Passcode:* 058907 This talk is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

As the output of a statistical procedure, their estimation is subject to uncertainty. In this article, we propose a robust assessment for the net premium of a standard life insurance contract with respect to the uncertainty on the estimated residual lifetime distribution function. Specifically, we provide a method to derive the range of values that the net premium of a given contract can attain when considering all residual lifetime distribution functions that satisfy an L^2 distance constraint with a reference distribution function. The results obtained in this chapter can be used to obtain a conservative evaluation of the net premium that an insurance company should charge for a life insurance contract in order to avoid financial losses due to unexpected changes in longevity trends.

From the point of view of statistical mechanics, however, it (rigorously or otherwise) exhibits a wide range of beautiful phenomena. I will survey some upcoming joint works with collaborators towards understanding some global probabilistic properties of this model, and highlight some irresistible conjectures. I hope to at least explain a probabilistic representation of correlations via a type of random current representation.

Il link per seguire il seminario sul Canale Youtube Cnr-IAC è: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6uQpsqgBD8 Speaker: Daniela De Canditiis Titolo: The adaptive Lasso estimator for INAR(p) time series and application to Hawkes processes Abstract: We propose an adaptive Lasso estimator for inferring the fertility function of a Hawkes stationary point process, without any assumption on its form. We study both the numerical and theoretical properties of this estimator. We will show its numerical advantages over the classical CLS estimator and over the non-adaptive Lasso estimator, both in simulation and when applied to a set of epidemiological data. The theoretical properties of this estimator will instead be obtained by embedding this problem in the more general one of estimating the coefficients of an AR(p) model with stationary noise. This last result has its own specific interest because it enlarges the applicability of the adaptive LASSO procedure to the case of more general time series than those usually treated in the literature.

Seminar in Padova by Prof. Umut Cetin (in presence and online)
by Giorgia Callegaro 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Dear all, you're invited to the next seminar in Probability and Finance that will take place next Monday, at 4 pm, in hybrid mode. All the details follow: * Speaker: Prof. Umut Cetin (LSE) * Date and time: Monday 6th June 2022, 4pm * Room (Torre Archimede): 1BC45 * Zoom link: please find it here https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: POWER LAWS IN MARKET MICROSTRUCTURE * Abstract: We develop an equilibrium model for market impact of trades when investors with private signals execute via a trading desk. Fat tails in the signal distribution lead to a power law for price impact, while the impact is logarithmic for lighter tails. Moreover, the tail distribution of the equilibrium trade volume obeys a power law. The spread decreases with the degree of noise trading and increases with the number of insiders. In case of a monopolistic insider, the last slice traded against the limit order book is priced at the fundamental value of the asset reminiscent of Kyle (1985). However, competition among insiders leads to aggressive trading, hence vanishing profit in the limit. The model also predicts that the order book flattens as the amount of noise trading increases converging to a model with proportional transactions costs with non-vanishing spread.

Seminario S Castruccio - Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 31 May '22

31 May '22

Si avvisa che in data 07-06-2022, alle ore 15:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Stefano Castruccio, University of Notre Dame Titolo: Physics-Informed, Data-Driven and Hybrid Approaches to Space-Time Systems Abstract: In this talk I will discuss two different approaches to characterize space-time systems. This first one is model-driven and loosely inspired by physics, assumes that the system is locally diffusive through a stochastic partial differential equation, and can be efficiently approximated with a Gaussian Markov random field. This approximation will be used to produce a stochastic generator of simulated multi-decadal global temperature, thereby offering a fast alternative to the generation of large climate model ensembles. The second approach is instead data-driven, and relies on (deep) neural networks in time. Instead of traditional machine learning methods aimed at inferring an extremely large parameter space, we instead rely on an alternative fast, sparse and computationally efficient echo state network dynamics on an appropriately dimensionally reduced spatial field. The additional computational time is then used to produce an ensemble and probabilistically calibrate the forecast. The approach will be used to produce air pollution forecasts from a citizen science network in San Francisco and forecasting wind energy in Saudi Arabia. Towards the end of the presentation, I will discuss how these two broad frameworks could be used in synergy to allow for improved predictability and understanding of space-time systems whose physical understanding is currently limited and/or largely influenced by parametrizations.

UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO Dipartimento di Matematica AVVISO DI SEMINARI Mercoledì 1 giugno 2022, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, livello 1, si terranno i seguenti seminari in presenza e online (su Teams): 1) ore 15:00-15:45 - Prof. Enrico Scalas (University of Sussex, Brighton, UK) Limit theorems for prices of options written on semi-Markov processes link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZmRiNmFjZmUtNmFlMS00… We consider plain vanilla European options written on an underlying asset that follows a continuous time semi-Markov multiplicative process. We derive a formula and a renewal type equation for the martingale option price. In the case in which intertrade times follow the Mittag-Leffler distribution, under appropriate scaling, we prove that these option prices converge to the price of an option written on geometric Brownian motion time-changed with the inverse stable subordinator. For geometric Brownian motion time changed with an inverse subordinator, in the more general case when the subordinator's Laplace exponent is a special Bernstein function, we derive a time-fractional generalization of the equation of Black and Scholes. This is joint work with Bruno Toaldo 2) ore 16:00-16:45 - Dott. Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli) Bulk behaviour of ground states for relativistic Schrödinger operators with spherical potential well link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTMzYTBmYTAtZDFiYS00… In this talk, we show a probabilistic representation of the ground state of a massive or massless Schrödinger operator with a spherical potential well. Such a representation will lead to a two-sided approximation with different behaviours depending on the fact that we are inside or outside the well. Both of them rely on some functionals of the first exit time of a subordinated Brownian motion from a suitable open set (the well or its complement). We also develop a moving planes-type argument to prove the radial monotonicity of the ground state, which is one of the main tools of the two-sided bounds. This is joint work with József Lőrinczi. Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Cordiali saluti, Barbara Martinucci

Probability Seminar in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 26 May '22

26 May '22

Dear All, next Tuesday Nicolas Forien (Sapienza Università di Roma) will give a seminar talk on particle systems and interacting random walks. Please find the title and the abstract below. Best regards, Lorenzo Taggi Tuesday 31st of May, 16.15, Dipartimento di Matematica Università Sapienza, Aula Consiglio *Title:* On the phase transition of activated random walks *Abstract:* The Activated Random Walk model consists of particles which perform independent random walks on a graph and fall asleep with a certain rate. Sleeping particles stop moving and are awaken when another particle arrives on the same site. The model on Z^d presents a phase transition: depending on the density of particles (initially all active) and on the sleep rate, either almost surely each particle eventually falls asleep forever (fixating phase), or almost surely no particle falls asleep forever (active phase). In this talk, I will present a joint work with Alexandre Gaudillière (arxiv.org/abs/2203.02476) showing the existence of an active phase on Z^2: for every positive initial density of particles, for a sufficiently low sleep rate, almost surely no particle falls asleep forever.

They are often used to describe complex real-world phenomena, and as such can often be misspecified in practice. In this talk, I will present a novel algorithm based on the posterior bootstrap and maximum mean discrepancy estimators. This leads to a highly-parallelisable Bayesian inference algorithm with strong robustness properties. This is demonstrated through an in-depth theoretical study which includes generalisation bounds and proofs of frequentist consistency and robustness of our posterior. The approach is then assessed on a range of examples including a g-and-k distribution and a toggle-switch model. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Assistant Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sis-news" group.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Enrico Malatesta (Bocconi) to be held Wednesday, May 25th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 25th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Enrico Malatesta Title: Phase transitions in the landscape of solutions of overparametrized neural networks. Abstract: Current deep neural networks are nonlinear devices composed of a number of parameters that far exceed the number of data points. Understanding how these systems can fit the data almost perfectly through variants of gradient descent algorithms and achieve exceptional levels of prediction accuracy without overfitting are key conceptual challenges. In this talk I will show how common techniques used in machine learning (e.g. the choice of the activation function or the loss) deeply affect the loss landscape, tending to mild its roughness. Then we shed light on the role of overparameterization in non-convex neural networks. By analytically studying a non-convex model of random features, we identify a novel (non-equilibrium) phase transition, that we call “Local Entropy” transition, controlled by the degree of overparameterization. In non-convex models this transition is strictly different to the SAT/UNSAT threshold and it coincides with the appearance of highly entropic minima of the error loss function. Those minima, in turn, are found to be highly attractive to the learning algorithms currently used in deep learning.

We study the occupation measure of the new model, explicitly relating it to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the underlying Markov evolution and quantifying the L2 distance between their normalisations. This model extends the fixed size Moran-type interacting particle system discussed in Del Moral, Burdzy et al, and Villemonais, and we will indeed show that our model outperforms the latter when used to approximate a birth and death process.

Next LTI@UniTO Seminars: May 24, Amit Goyal | May 25, Marco Pagano
by Luca Regis 18 May '22

18 May '22

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to bring to your attention the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO. The seminars can be attended online via Zoom at the links accessible via the buttons below. Best regards, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis <http://sites.google.com/view/lucaregis> Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti <http://www.carloalberto.org/lti> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/dxQszhXdTYSeK8TgXWVwPdgch-yVozm308…> <#> LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminars: <#> *May 24, 2022 | 12:00-13:15* *Predicting Corporate Bond Returns: Merton Meets Machine Learning* *Amit Goyal (University of Lausanne)* <#> *Abstract.* We investigate the return predictability of corporate bonds using big data and machine learning. We find that machine learning models substantially improve the out-of-sample performance of stock and bond characteristics in predicting future bond returns. We also find a significant improvement in the performance of machine learning models when imposing a theoretically motivated economic structure from the Merton model, compared to the reduced-form approach without restrictions. Overall, our work highlights the importance of explicitly imposing the dependence between expected bond and stock returns via machine learning and Merton model when investigating expected bond returns. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/hfP4I4mUbx241x0z60A6739Y-00wYiECyk…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/H7wKsG1vuV3OD31wQ_0E5gOGft1OURjriG…> <#> <#> *May 25, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *JAQ of All Trades: Job Mismatch, Firm Productivity and Managerial Quality* *Marco Pagano (University of Naples Federico II)* <#> *Abstract.* Does the matching between workers and jobs help explain productivity differentials across firms? To address this question we develop a job-worker allocation quality measure JAQ by combining employer-employee administrative data with machine learning techniques. The proposed measure is positively and significantly associated with labor earnings over workers’ careers. At firm level, it features a robust positive correlation with firm productivity, and with managerial turnover leading to an improvement in the quality and experience of management. JAQ can be constructed for any employer-employee data including workers’ occupations, and used to explore the effect of corporate restructuring on workers’ allocation and careers. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ykATFHYX2laIzxQ_xgRrxeAEz3ksTLnNgK…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Qu65mxHMOuyATkYSpHoaTbGG4jZwv1_-MW…> <#> <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/IfoXGKh5By8LrSGugLNRNVSXyH2VOsaTTd…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/8usPEOcCcpYYly0bCauwMS_rfjHMGgHJVt…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +39011 15630 800 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/96qDEBjI389G7GVS3NgHy4QU5ODhiSBUXH…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/NblUBI8B5HmNemhQAOs_hH9Lb0xHqj4qYn…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/rMMfajyr067kRoDawTi2FFsw8dBZwyxWPW…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/0wIj1P36GYdj7O34J7nWI5VyNMMLDGzqBJ…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/-09AvrjEn7eE8yYbc-ZCF8ERm7rdddPHti…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

18 May '22

Dear All: Next Wednesday,*Anna Vidotto* (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II) will give a seminar talk on the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2AB40 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padua (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: On the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields * Abstract: In this talk, we consider isotropic and stationary real Gaussian time dependent random fields defined on the two dimensional unit sphere S^2 and we investigate the asymptotic behavior, as T tends to infinity , of the excursion area in S^2 × [0, T] at any threshold, covering both cases when the field exhibits short and long memory, that is, integrable and non-integrable temporal covariance. It turns out that the limiting distribution is not universal, depending both on the memory parameters and the threshold. The talk is based on a joint work with D. Marinucci and M. Rossi.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Sonia Mazzucchi
by margherita Zanella 18 May '22

18 May '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) Title: Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds. Abstract: In this talk I shall present the construction of Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. This result provides approximations for solutions to initial-value problems for parabolic equations with variable coefficients on the manifold. It also yields the weak convergence of particular sequences of random walks on the manifolds to the diffusion processes associated with the elliptic generator. For parallelizable manifolds this result is applied in particular to the representation of the Brownian motion on the manifold as limit of the corresponding random walks.

OGGI: seminario su "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 17 May
by Umberto Picchini 17 May '22

17 May '22

/[questo e' il nuovo annuncio di un seminario per //*oggi*//17 Maggio che era stato precedentemente cancellato]/ You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday May 17, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles" / * * marina axelson-fisk *About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is a Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity. Comparative gene finding methods utilizes the contrast in sequence similarity between functional and non-functional regions of evolutionary related species. We show how this can be applied to chromosome pair sequences in diploid sequence data. We demonstrate the approach on the highly diverse sea orchid Balanus improvisus using SLAM, a cross-species gene finder that simultaneously annotates and aligns two homologous sequences using Generalized Pair Hidden Markov Models.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/62177902216 Password: 786749 ** **** *When*: Tuesday May 17 at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Seminars in Pisa: L. Andreis and G. Carigi
by Francesco Grotto 16 May '22

16 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminars by Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) and Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held Wednesday, May 18th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 18th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Luisa Andreis (UniFi) Title:Large deviations for coagulation processes: an approach via graphs Abstract: Interacting particle systems where particles interact via coagulation are of great interest for their various behaviours. In particular, interesting phenomena can occur, depending on the structure of the kernel which is giving a rate to each coagulation. Among these phenomena there is the famous phase transition that goes under the name of gelation, i.e. the appearance of one (or multiple) giant particle(s). Although fluid limits are known for the rescaled version of stochastic coagulation processes (convergence to the Smoluchowski coagulation equation and its modification), very few is known about large deviations and rare events in this framework. In this talk we will explore some connections of these processes with random graphs and how to use this connection to attack the problem of studying large deviations. This also allows a comparison with the phase transition in graphs, where a giant component appears. Some remarks about the possible generalization to coagulation kernels that depend on spatial position will be given. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K ̈onig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini (WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS). Time: May 18th, 2022, 15:00-16:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Mercoledi 18 Maggio 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Larry Goldstein* (University of Southern California) Title: *Relaxing Gaussian assumptions in high dimensional statistical procedures* Abstract: The assumption that high dimensional data is Gaussian is pervasive in many statistical procedures, due not only to its tail decay, but also to the level of analytic tractability this special distribution provides. We explore the relaxation of the Gaussian assumption in Single Index models and Shrinkage estimation using two tools that originate in Stein’s method: Stein kernels, and the zero bias transform. Taking this approach leads to measures of discrepancy from the Gaussian that arise naturally from the nature of the procedures considered, and result in performance bounds in contexts not restricted to the Gaussian. The resulting bounds are tight in the sense that they include an additional term that reﬂects the cost of deviation from the Gaussian, and vanish for the Gaussian, thus recovering this particular special case.

Seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza

12 May '22

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio del seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza. Grazie Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Mercoledì 18 Maggio, ore 16, Sala di Consiglio, Sapienza Università di Roma SPEAKER: Michele Aleandri (Sapienza Università di Roma) TITOLO: Opinion dynamics: conformist and nonconformist interacting agents ABSTRACT: We study two models of binary decisions in a connected network of interacting agents. Individual decisions are determined by social influence, coming from direct interactions with neighbours, and a group level pressure that accounts for social environment. We study the convergence of the mean field variables associated to the processes as the number of agents goes to infinity and we show that propagation of chaos occurs. In the first model, [2], we have a family of conformist or nonconformist agents that interact with each other. When the number of agents is large but fixed, we study the amount of time spent by the mean field variables associated with the process around the stable points of the macroscopic dynamics. In a nonconformist environment, there is a persistent disordered phase where no majority is formed: We show how in this case the introduction of a delay mechanism in the agent’s detection of the global average choice may drastically change this scenario, giving rise to a coordinated self sustained periodic behavior. In the second model, [1], the population is divided into two social groups, each one characterized by its attitude with respect to the other. Agents of the same group interact with each other, while the other group exerts on them a social influence, that may also be null or even negative. We focus in particular on models with Lotka-Volterra type interactions, i.e., models with conformist vs. nonconformist groups. For these models, although the microscopic system is driven a.s. to consensus within each group, a periodic behaviour arises in the macroscopic scale. In order to describe fluctuations between the limiting periodic orbits, we identify a slow variable in the microscopic system and, through an averaging principle, we find a diffusion which describes the macroscopic dynamics of such variable on a larger time scale.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Darrick Lee (EPFL) to be held tomorrow (May 10th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 10th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Darrick Lee (EPFL) Title: Mapping Space Signatures Abstract: The path signature is a foundational tool in the theory of rough paths. In this talk, we introduce the mapping space signature, a generalization of the path signature to maps from higher dimensional cubical domains, which is motivated by the topological perspective of K. T. Chen. We show that the mapping space signature shares many of the analytic and algebraic properties of the path signature; in particular it is universal and characteristic with respect to a certain equivalence relation on cubical maps. This is joint work with Chad Giusti, Vidit Nanda, and Harald Oberhauser.

Seminar by M. Burzoni in Verona (hybrid)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 09 May '22

09 May '22

Matteo Burzoni (University of Milan) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 11/05/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: On adjusted risk measures Abstract: We introduce different ways of adjusting classical risk measures in different contexts. We mainly discuss the properties of a new class of convex risk measures that robustifies Expected Shortfall by simultaneously controlling the expected losses associated with different portions of the tail distribution. The key element is a benchmark risk profile g which allows, at the same time, to tailor the risk assessment to the specific application of interest. The resulting risk measure is intimately connected with second-order stochastic dominance. A second way of adjusting and robustifying risk measures is presented in a systemic risk framework which is not based on any probabilistic assumption.

Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Time: Monday 9 May 2022, at 16:00 Rome: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University of Rome Speaker: Sebastian Andres (Manchester University) Title: First passage percolation with long-range correlations Abstract: In this talk we consider first passage percolation (FPP) with passage times generated by a general class of models with long-range correlations, including discrete Gaussian free fields as a prominent example. We will discuss conditions under which the associated time constant is positive and the FPP distance is comparable to the Euclidean distance. We will also present two applications to random conductance models (RCM) with possibly unbounded and strongly correlated conductances, namely a Gaussian heat kernel upper bound for RCMs with a general class of speed measures, and an exponential decay estimate for the Green function of RCMs with random killing measures. This talk is based on a joined work with Alexis Prévost (Cambridge). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

seminario G.Ascione - Sapienza 11 maggio
by Luisa Beghin 05 May '22

05 May '22

Buongiorno, vorrei segnalare il seguente seminario: *Mercoledì 11 maggio 2022* Ore 14:30, Aula 34 (quarto piano), Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma e online al seguente link meet.google.com/dwz-gvib-uoj *Titolo:* A sojourn-based approach to discrete-time semi-Markov decision processes *Speaker*: Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale) *Abstract:* Up to now, there is an extensive literature on stepped continuous-time semi-Markov decision processes. Such models generalize the classical continuous-time Markov chain decision processes by allowing for different distributions of interevent times. However, in such models, the decision is always taken in a change of state, so that it influences a priori the distribution of the inter-event times. For such a reason, these models do not allow for decision depending on intermediate observations of the system. In this talk we address the problem of intermediate observations by modelling the system as a finite horizon discrete-time semi-Markov process, thus assuming discrete observations of the system, and allowing possible decisions at each time step. To do this, we first provide an alternative characterization of discrete-time semi-Markov processes in terms of a bivariate Markov chain, involving both the state and the sojourn time of the process. Once this is done, one can use the dynamic programming principle to exploit optimal policies for the discrete-time semi-Markov decision process by resorting to the bivariate Markov formulation. With this approach we are able to exhibit the Bellman’s equation for both the value and the quality function. The latter is then used to develop a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm based on Watkins and Dayan’s Qlearning algorithm, together with a first naive attempt towards a deep reinforcement learning one. Two exploratory toy examples are provided. This is based on a joint work with Salvatore Cuomo from Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. Cordiali saluti.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Salvi - May 9, 17:30
by Maurizia Rossi 04 May '22

04 May '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Michele Salvi* (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata") Title: *Scale-free percolation mixing time.* Abstract: Scale-free percolation is a spatial inhomogeneous random graph model which features three fundamental properties that are often present in real-world networks: (1) Scale-free: the degree of the nodes follows a power law; (2) Small-world: two far-away nodes have typically a small graph distance; (3) Positive clustering coefficient: two nodes with a common neighbour have a good chance to be linked. We study the mixing time of the simple random walk on this structure in one dimension and depict a rich phase diagram in the parameters of the model. In particular, we prove that the presence of hubs can speed up the mixing of the chain. Joint work with Alessandra Cipriani (UCL). *Date and time:* Monday May 9, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6815552946 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 and Milano-Statale.

by Dario Trevisan 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear all, during May, prof. Mauro Mariani will be INdAM Visiting Professor at the University of Pisa, and will deliver a the first half of a PhD Course on Long time asymptotic and criticality in random dynamics (abstract below). The second half will be later given by Giacomo di Gesù (Sapienza Università di Roma). The format will be blended, in presence and online using Microsoft Teams. The first lecture is scheduled on Thursday, May 5th, at 11 am, at Aula Seminari of the Department of Mathematics (Largo Bruno Pontecorvo, 5, first floor) and online at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aNPe79QEwg0BQ31oFUsis6tD5qgF2… Dates and times later lectures are possibly subject to changes, but are now tentatively scheduled every Thursday and Friday, 11 am, same room (Aula Seminari), starting from Thursday 12th. No lecture will be delivered on Friday 6th. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested, and write me if you want to be added to the Team (to access records of the lectures and further material). Regards, Dario Trevisan %%% Abstract: The qualitative behavior of random evolutions in the long time asymptotic is a classical subject, which has recently found new motivations in high dimensional optimization. The course provides an introduction to classical and recent results concerning the long time behavior of some classes of Markov processes. In the first part, we will introduce some tools typical of potential theory in an elementary context, with focus on the reversibility non-reversibility paradigm. In the second part of the class, we will focus on establishing some recent results for more involved models and infinite-dimensional dynamics. 1. Ergodicity and long time behavior of Markov processes. 2. Potential theory and spectral analysis for processes on graphs. 3. Applications to statistical mechanics models. -- Dario Trevisan, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Dipartimento di Matematica, Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5, 56127 - Pisa (PI) Italy telephone: (+39) 050 2213832 mobile: (+39) 331 2899761 Skype: dario-trevisan e-mail: dario.trevisan AT unipi.it webpage: http://people.dm.unipi.it/trevisan/

Seminar in Pisa: Jules Pitcho
by Francesco Grotto 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Jules Pitcho (UZH) to be held this Wednesday (May 4th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 4th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Jules Pitcho (UZH - Universität Zürich) Title: Since the work of Di Perna-Lions and Ambrosio, it is known that the continuity equation with divergence-free Sobolev vector field is well-posed for densities with suitable integrability. At the Lagrangian level, these works translate into a selection principle for integral curves under which uniqueness for almost every initial data is true. Nevertheless, uniqueness of integral curves can fail almost everywhere. The deterministic technique used to construct such divergence-free Sobolev vector fields and non-unique integral curves go by the name of convex integration: we will explain some of the ideas underlying this technique. We will conclude by arguing that for rougher vector fields, a genuinely stochastic behaviour of integral curves is to be expected: we should not hope for an almost everywhere selection principle for integral curves.

seminario: "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 26 April
by Umberto Picchini 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday April 26, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles"/ / / //*About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is an Assc. Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity. Comparative gene finding methods utilizes the contrast in sequence similarity between functional and non-functional regions of evolutionary related species. We show how this can be applied to chromosome pair sequences in diploid sequence data. We demonstrate the approach on the highly diverse sea orchid Balanus improvisus using SLAM, a cross-species gene finder that simultaneously annotates and aligns two homologous sequences using Generalized Pair Hidden Markov Models.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/62177902216 Password: 786749 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 26 April at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Webinar PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Buongiorno a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare i prossimi Webinars promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 2 maggio 2022 ore 16-17 LAURA SACERDOTE TITOLO: Input-output consistency in Integrate and Fire neuronal networks ABSTRACT: Models of neurons aim to describe the information transmission within a neural network. Some models are mathematically tractable with the introduction of strong simplifications, ignoring the involved biophysicalfeatures of the single units. Others are very faithful to reality at the price of very complex mathematical descriptions. Models are then used to describe networks, often through simulations. The appearance of particular patterns in the trains of spikes is then used to compare with observed data or to switch from microscopic to macroscopic analysis. In this framework, it is essential to guarantee the reliability of the output of the model and often scientists compare the output of the models with real data. However, when the models are used to reproduce networks the output of some neurons becomes the input of a successive layer of neurons. This fact opens a problem of consistency between input and output of layers of neurons. To the best of our knowledge, this problem has not yet been deeply investigated. Here, we consider the simplest Stochastic Integrate and Fire model and we try to characterize the features of its input in such a way to re-obtain the same features in the output. In particular, we focus on the tail properties of ISIs distribution. Observed data suggest the presence of heavy tails for this distribution. Using the Stochastic Integrate and Fire paradigm for the neurons of the network we study how such features can be transmitted from the network. In this framework we introduce a particular class of multivariate distributions, i.e. the regularly varying distributions. We show that assuming that the input to a neuron is a regularly varying random vector and that successive ISIs of a neuron are asymptotically independent thenthe resulting output is a regularly varying random variable. The talk is based on a joint work with Petr Lansky and Federico Polito. Ore 17-18 BRUNO TOALDO TITLE: Semi-Markov processes, their exit times and non-local equations ABSTRACT: We introduce the theory of semi-Markov processes and their interplay with non-local equations. Particular attention will be devoted to the theory of exit times from sets and the connection with boundary value problems, e.g., on a time-dependent parabolic domain.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Anna Paola Todino (Università Milano Bicocca) to be held this Wednesday (April 27th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. After the seminar, in the same location (on site and online), Francesca Pistolato (future PhD student at Université du Luxembourg) will give a short talk, details below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 27th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Anna Paola Todino (UniMiB) Title: Alternative forms of random spherical harmonics Abstract: In the last decade, lot of efforts have been devoted to the analysis of the high-frequency behaviour of geometric functionals (Lipschitz-Killing Curvatures) for the excursion sets of random eigenfunctions on the unit sphere (spherical harmonics). The asymptotic behavior of their expected values and variances have been investigated and quantitative central limit theorems have been established in the high energy limits. In order to generalize these results, a local study was also introduced by considering subdomains of the sphere. This topic is linked to Berry's conjecture on planar random waves and finds its motivation in cosmological applications. Another interesting issue concerns the Gaussianity hypothesis of the random field. In this direction we introduce a model of Poisson random waves on the 2-dimensional sphere and we study Quantitative Central Limit Theorems when both the rate of the Poisson process and the energy (i.e. frequency) of the waves (eigenfunctions) diverge to infinity. We consider finite-dimensional distributions, harmonic coefficients and convergence in law in functional spaces, and we investigate carefully the interplay between the rates of divergence of eigenvalues and Poisson governing measures. Time: April 27th, 2022, 15:00-15:30 CET Speaker: Francesca Pistolato Title: A Small-Scale Reduction Principle for the Nodal Length of Monochromatic Random Waves Abstract: We prove an asymptotic mean square equivalence between the nodal length of monochromatic random waves and their sample trispectrum in the small-scale regime. We make use of coupling techniques for non-stationary Gaussian fields, and the so-called Small-Scale Central Limit Theorem for the nodal length, both proved by Dierickx, Nourdin, Peccati, Rossi in 2020. Consequently, we deduce the conjectured equivalence from the analogous one for Berry's random wave model, proved by Vidotto in 2020.

Seminar: Antonio Lerario at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Dear all, next Friday, April 29th, Antonio Lerario (SISSA) will give a seminar about "The zonoid algebra". Abstract: In this seminar I will discuss the so called "zonoid algebra", a construction introduced in a recent work (joint with Breiding, Bürgisser and Mathis) which allows to put a ring structure on the set of zonoids (i.e. Hausdorff limits of Minkowski sums of segments). This framework gives a new perspective on classical objects in convex geometry, and it allows to introduce new functionals on zonoids, in particular generalizing the notion of mixed volume. Moreover this algebra plays the role of a probabilistic intersection ring for compact homogeneous spaces. Joint work with P. Breiding, P. Bürgisser and L. Mathis. The seminar will take place in Aula De Blasi, Università Tor Vergata, at 14h00. 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.

Location: Aula 215, Plesso Morgagni, Viale Giovan Battista Morgagni 40, 50134 Firenze Link alla videochiamata: https://meet.google.com/rps-uiyj-bhj <https://meet.google.com/rps-uiyj-bhj> Speaker: Seonwoo Kim (Seoul National University) Title: Metastability of Ising/Potts models on lattices in the low-temperature regime Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss metastability of the Ising/Potts model with zero external field in two or three dimensions. Metastable transitions in the case of zero field occur along a large saddle plateau, which can be divided into bulk and edge parts. Transitions on the bulk part are one-dimensional and thus easy to analyze, whereas transitions on the edge part are much more complex. In two dimension, I will characterize them in a very precise manner. On the other hand in three dimension, it is impossible to find such a precise characterization and thus I present an alternative abstract method to analyze the metastable behavior. This talk is based on a joint work with Insuk Seo at Seoul National University.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 22 Aprile 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Johannes Schmidt-Hieber* (University of Twente) Title: *A theoretical comparison of deep learning and Bayes with deep Gaussian process priors* Abstract: Deep neural networks have received a lot of attention recently and considerable progress has been made to build an underlying mathematical foundation. In a first part of the talk, we summarize some statistical convergence results. Deep Gaussian process priors can be viewed as continuous analogues of Bayesian neural networks and this raises the question whether there is a closer link with deep learning. In the second part of the talk, we show that the posterior for a suitable deep Gaussian process prior can achieve fast posterior contraction rates and discuss the connection with deep learning. This is joint work with Gianluca Finocchio. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/wxwecLUnpZ2GEsWh9 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83612787995?pwd=SE1CR2ZGdmxxZmNWUmx2WS9XNXdtdz09> Meeting ID: 836 1278 7995 Passcode: 612986 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario di Probabilità
by Paolo Dai Pra 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Cari colleghi, vi invito al seguente seminario. Date: 20 Aprile 2022, 14:30 Venue: Ca’ Vignal 2, Università di Verona, Aula G Speaker: Luisa Andreis, Università di Firenze Title: An introduction to phase transitions in coagulation processes and random graphs Abstract: Sparse inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are independent but distributed according to the type of the vertices that they are connecting. These graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erd ̋os Renyi model. In this talk we will introduce an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes coagulation processes and the phase transition of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components.

Seminar by J. Teichmann in Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Prof. Josef Teichmann (ETH Zürich) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 20/04/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: Signature SDEs from an affine and polynomial perspective Affine or polynomial processes are fascinating classes of models due to the so-called affine transform formulae or moment formulae, respectively. We first show through a linearization procedure that generic classes of diffusion models can be obtained as projections of infinite dimensional affine processes (which actually coincide with polynomial processes). Affine and polynomial technology next allows to derive so far unknown formulae for characteristic functions and moments of involved process functionals. Third a dynamic viewpoint on those formulae (combined with machine learning approaches) leads to efficient numerical evaluations.

Past smoothed overnight market returns strongly negatively forecast subsequent close-to-close returns (quarterly R2 of over 14%), primarily through intraday mean reversion. In contrast, past smoothed intraday market returns strongly positively forecast subsequent overnight returns; this partially-offsetting effect explains PE's relatively poor forecasting ability (R2 only 3%). Our decomposition also resurrects the conditional CAPM: If we allow market betas to vary with past smoothed overnight returns, the unconditional alpha of the four Fama-French non-market factors decreases by 91%. We interpret these return patterns through a clientele perspective. First, individual investor expectations and consumption growth strongly positively forecast overnight market returns; intermediary risk tolerance and household equity share strongly negatively forecast intraday market returns. Second, aggregate discount-rate news associated with revisions in future expected overnight (intraday) returns is positively (negatively) correlated with aggregate cash-flow news. Finally, while the Tech boom and Covid crash/rebound were primarily driven by overnight returns, the Global Financial Crisis was mostly an intraday phenomenon. <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend in presence, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/AeJ-WyYc_gvUq2mT72rqiHtFvTQ6jPrbiV…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/vQ-81gGUFwr92prMcO1wAos1prgrpZtXYC…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *April 20, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *Strategic Leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility* *Rui Albuquerque (Carrol School of Management, Boston College)* <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *Abstract.* We propose a strategic theory of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Shareholder maximizers commit to a mission statement that extends beyond firm value maximization. This commitment leads firms (either product market competitors or complementors along the value chain) to change their actions in ways that ultimately favor shareholders. We thus provide a formal analysis of the “doing well by doing good” adage. We also provide conditions such that the mission statement game has the nature of a pure coordination game. Our framework thus provides a natural theory of firm leadership in a CSR context: by selecting a CSR mission statement, a first mover effectively leads the industry to a Pareto optimal equilibrium. <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sWQz91Ig64g-hKPI0qtXuwSrmqF9ks4uXO…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/a5FFG16ZzGA4wKp6TEcOSC5UJL-ct_fbpI…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/w9EAxMXTRoVQWw8rge58Ur5Q9h1azrMGGu…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ryYmaMlVZUN48CzZ1ArQlrckik3y2zJD7c…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org [image: Facebook] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/wh_Khsc6qoONJjjfPj_n-Lb6YoAirMTUXv…> [image: Twitter] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/UnCsCKFdXGIuCX9lfeGpe6ph-BAbL3z-0f…> [image: LinkedIn] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/tB9Ns4ARnwiSodkGn2ubnmU1M9x11LPrz4…> [image: Instagram] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/QoIO7jUPYXlgktVaTw_Tvc2g1WfpgXZgB4…> [image: Youtube] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/vBC6AeuPt0mow4OYvvHSCpa0bGiKvCbuof…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

seminar: "Point process learning", Ottmar Cronie, 19 April
by Umberto Picchini 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday April 19, Ottmar Cronie <https://www.chalmers.se/en/staff/Pages/ottmar.aspx> will talk of: ///"Point process learning" / * * *About the speaker: *Ottmar Cronie <https://www.chalmers.se/en/staff/Pages/ottmar.aspx> is associate professor at Chalmers and University of Göteborg. His research is primarily in spatial and spatio-temporal statistics as well as statistical learning. The emphasis is on point processes. The applied part of his research focuses mainly on epidemiology where the main focus at the moment is research on covid-19 and mosquito-borne diseases. // //* * *Abstract:* Point processes are random sets which generalise the classical notion of a random (iid) sample by allowing i) the sample size to be random and/or ii) the sample points to be dependent. Therefore, point process have become ubiquitous in the modeling of spatial and/or temporal event data, e.g. earthquakes and disease cases. In this talk, we present the first statistical learning framework for general point processes, which is based on a subtle combination of two new concepts: prediction errors and cross-validation for point processes. The general idea is to split a point process in two, through thinning, and estimate parameters by predicting one part using the other. By repeating this procedure, we implicitly induce a conditional repeated sampling scheme. The proposed approach allows us to introduce a variety of loss functions not only suitable for standard spatial statistical problems but for general estimation settings, without imposing the iid assumptions. Having discussed different properties of this new approach, we illustrate how it may be applied in different spatial statistical settings and, numerically, we show in (at least) one of these settings that it outperforms the state of the art.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 orhttps://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64214516762 Password: 355673 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 19 April at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

de Finetti Risk seminar: Walter Schachermayer

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 which will take place on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 17.30 (see all details below). *Walter Schachermayer* Universität Wien *Title:* Martingale Transport, De March-Touzi paving, and stretched Brownian motion in ℝd *Abstract:* In classical optimal transport, the contributions of Benamou–Brenier and Mc-Cann regarding the time-dependent version of the problem are cornerstones of the field and form the basis for a variety of applications in other mathematical areas. For µ,ν probability measures on ℝd, increasing in convex order, stretched Brownian motion [1] provides an analogue for the martingale version of this problem. In dimension d=1 it was shown in [2] that any martingale transport decomposes into at most countably many invariant intervals and that this decomposition is universal. Extensions of this result to d≥2 were studied in [4], [5], [3].

de Finetti Risk seminar: Walter Schachermayer
by Maggis Marco 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '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 which will take place on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 17.30 (see all details below). *Walter Schachermayer* Universität Wien *Title:* Martingale Transport, De March-Touzi paving, and stretched Brownian motion in ℝd *Abstract:* In classical optimal transport, the contributions of Benamou–Brenier and Mc-Cann regarding the time-dependent version of the problem are cornerstones of the field and form the basis for a variety of applications in other mathematical areas. For µ,ν probability measures on ℝd, increasing in convex order, stretched Brownian motion [1] provides an analogue for the martingale version of this problem. In dimension d=1 it was shown in [2] that any martingale transport decomposes into at most countably many invariant intervals and that this decomposition is universal. Extensions of this result to d≥2 were studied in [4], [5], [3]. We show that the dual optimization problem attached to a stretched Brownian motion induces the universal De March–Touzi paving [3] of ℝd. Joint work with M. Beiglböck, J. Backhoff, and B. Tschiderer.

Master Mathématiques et Apprentissage Statistique all'Università di Versailles
by Cecilia Mancini 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

Inoltro questa informazione su un nuovo Master che partirà il prossimo Settembre all’Université Versailles Saint Quentin<http://www.uvsq.fr/>. A chi fosse interessato posso mandare i flyers sotto menzionati Saluti, Cecilia Da: Ester Mariucci <ester.mariucci(a)uvsq.fr> stiamo aprendo un nuovo Master (M1+M2) a Versailles. Si chiama Mathématiques et Apprentissage Statistique, Math&AS. Fa parte della Graduate School dell’Università Paris-Saclay ed é un “Master Recherche ouvert à l’entreprise”. Per essere chiari : é teorico ma non tanto quanto i master di Orsay, permette di andare subito a lavorare ma non é un master in alternance. Durante l’M1 i corsi sono teorici - ma comunque globalmente più di statistica applicata che matematica - (statistica matematica, machine Learning, modelli lineari, ottimizzazione, analisi dei dati, etc…) e c’é un po’ di informatica. Il secondo anno ci saranno dei corsi fatti da data scientists, e poi vari corsi avanzati sempre di machine learning e statistica. L’insegnamento é in francese, ci sono 2 stages di sei mesi ciascuno, uno per anno (quindi bisogna davvero parlare bene francese). Dato che la formazione debutta a Settembre cerco di diffondere la notizia il più possibile…non si sa mai che tu conosca studenti francofoni (o che se la cavano sufficientemente bene) potenzialmente interessati! Ti allego i flyers che abbiamo fatto per l’UVSQ e per Saclay con le informazioni sui programmi. Ci sono borse (anche per stranieri) : https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/admission/bourses-et-aides-financier…; https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/fr/master-bourses-de-master/master-401-ap… e le candidature per iscriversi al master sono tra il 15 marzo e il 15 maggio. Sto ancora aspettando che il sito ufficiale di Saclay sia visibile, qui ci sono alcune informazioni : http://www.departement.math.uvsq.fr/masterMathAS Un caro saluto, Ester

seminar: "Random structures and patterns in spatio-temporal data: probabilistic modelling and statistical inference", Radu Stoica, 12 April
by Umberto Picchini 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University, Sweden. On Tuesday April 12, Radu Stoica <https://sites.google.com/site/radustefanstoica/> will talk of: ///"Random structures and patterns in spatio-temporal data: probabilistic modelling and statistical inference"/ / / //*About the speaker: *Radu Stoica <https://sites.google.com/site/radustefanstoica/> is professor at Université de Lorraine, France. He is interested in probabilistic modeling and statistical inference for the analysis of spatio-temporal data // //* * *Abstract:* The useful information carried by spatio-temporal data is often outlined by geometric structures and patterns. Filaments or clusters induced by galaxy positions in our Universe are such an example. Two situations are to be considered. First, the pattern of interest is hidden in the data set, hence the pattern should be detected. Second, the structure to be studied is observed, so relevant characterization of it should be done. Probabilistic modelling is one of the approaches that allows to furnish answers to these questions. This is done by developing unitary methodologies embracing simultaneously three directions: modelling, simulation and inference. This talk presents the use of marked point processes applied to the detection and to the characterization of such structures. Practical examples are also shown.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64160866575 Password: 024139 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 12 April at 14.30-15.30*(Stockholm time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Daria Ghilli - April 11 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Daria Ghilli (Università di Pavia) Title: A mean field game model in economics with spatial interactions in the human capital Abstract: We study an economic model where each agent chooses its position in space and its level of human capital maximizing its own utility and interacts with the other agents through the human capital. The main peculiarity of the model we consider consists in the presence of a spatial interaction term in the dynamic of the human capital, i.e. spatial spillovers on the accumulation of human capital and in the utility, i.e. spatial spillovers on the consumption. We adopt a Mean Field Game (MFG) approach and study a system of two partial differential equations, the MFG system, which arises as the continuum macroscopic description of the discrete multi-agents system emerging, heuristically, as the limit as the number of agents tends to infinity. The MFG system we study is expected to approximate Nash equilibria for the discrete multi-agents system when the number of players tends to infinity. This is a joint work with C. Ricci (Pisa) and G. Zanco (LUISS). Date and time: Monday April 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09> ID riunione: 831 9011 0958 Passcode: 384911 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 and Milano-Statale.

Seminar in Pisa: Ruojun Huang
by Francesco Grotto 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) to be held Wednesday (April 6th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 6th, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) Title: Coagulation under environmental noise Abstract: Environmental noise in a continuum interacting particle system is a space-dependent noise acting on all particles simultaneously. We prove that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses, subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation, converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) with Smoluchowski-type nonlinearity. It partially extends a result of Hammond-Rezakhanlou (2007) who considered the PDE case, with our motivation coming from trying to understand the effect of turbulence on rain formations. Based on a joint work with Franco Flandoli.

Seminario Caponera Tor Vergata
by Domenico Marinucci 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Cari colleghi venerdì prossimo 1 aprile alle ore 15.30 avrà luogo presso il Dipartimento di Matematica di Roma Tor Vergata il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aula 1200, Edificio Sogene Speaker: Alessia Caponera (EPFL) Title: Nonparametric Estimation of Covariance and Autocovariance Operators on the Sphere Abstract: We propose nonparametric estimators for the second-order central moments of spherical random fields within a functional data context. We consider a measurement framework where each field among an identically distributed collection of spherical random fields is sampled at a few random directions, possibly subject to measurement error. The collection of fields could be i.i.d. or serially dependent. Though similar setups have already been explored for random functions defined on the unit interval, the nonparametric estimators proposed in the literature often rely on local polynomials, which do not readily extend to the (product) spherical setting. We therefore formulate our estimation procedure as a variational problem involving a generalized Tikhonov regularization term. The latter favours smooth covariance/autocovariance functions, where the smoothness is specified by means of suitable Sobolev-like pseudo-differential operators. Using the machinery of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, we establish representer theorems that fully characterize the form of our estimators. We determine their uniform rates of convergence as the number of fields diverges, both for the dense (increasing number of spatial samples) and sparse (bounded number of spatial samples) regimes. We moreover validate and demonstrate the practical feasibility of our estimation procedure in a simulation setting. Based on a joint work with Julien Fageot, Matthieu Simeoni and Victor M.

Padua Probability Seminar: Jodi Dianetti (this Friday)
by Markus 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Dear All, This Friday,*Jodi Dianetti* (Center for Mathematical Economics, Bielefeld University) will give a seminar talk on Submodular mean field games, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Friday, April 1, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: Submodular mean field games: Existence and approximation of solutions * Abstract: We study mean field games with scalar Itô-type dynamics and costs that are submodular with respect to a suitable order relation on the state and measure space. The submodularity assumption has a number of interesting consequences. Firstly, it allows us to prove existence of solutions via an application of Tarski's fixed point theorem, covering cases with discontinuous dependence on the measure variable. Secondly, it ensures that the set of solutions enjoys a lattice structure: in particular, there exist a minimal and a maximal solution. Thirdly, it guarantees that those two solutions can be obtained through a simple learning procedure based on the iterations of the best-response-map. Our approach also allows to treat submodular mean field games with common noise, as well as mean field games with singular controls, optimal stopping and reflecting boundary conditions. This talks is based on some joint works together with Giorgio Ferrari, Markus Fischer and Max Nendel.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held next Wednesday (March 30th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: March 30, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

Fwd: [PRISMA] seminari di Enrico Scalas e Giacomo Ascione
by Domenico Marinucci 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Cari colleghi scusandomi per eventuali messaggi multipli, vi mando le informazioni sui prossimi seminari online del Gruppo UMI Prisma (lunedì 4 aprile), con i contributi di Enrico Scalas e Giacomo Ascione: * April 4, 2022, 16:00-17:00 (CET): Enrico Scalas TITLE: Point processes and time change: A fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process and its functional limits ABSTRACT: A fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process was introduced by a time change of the nonhomogeneous Poisson process with the inverse α-stable subordinator. A similar definition is proposed for the (nonhomogeneous) fractional compound Poisson process. Both finite-dimensional and functional limit theorems are presented for the fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process and the fractional compound Poisson process. The results are derived by using martingale methods, regular variation properties and Anscombe’s theorem. Some of the limiting results are verified in a Monte Carlo simulation. Papers: [1] Nikolai Leonenko, Enrico Scalas and Mailan Trinh, The fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process. Statistics and Probability Letters, 120, 2017, pp. 147-156. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.spl.2016.09.024 https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.03965 [2] Nikolai Leonenko, Enrico Scalas and Mailan Trinh, Limit theorems for the fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process, Journal of Applied Probability , 56:1, 2019 , pp. 246 - 264. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/jpr.2019.16 https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.08768 This is joint work with Nikolai Leonenko and Mailan Trinh. * April 4, 2022, 17:00-18:00 (CET): Giacomo Ascione TITLE: Spectral methods for time-changed birth-death processes ABSTRACT: In this talk we focus on a class of semi-Markov birth-death processes obtained by means of a time-change of some standard birth-death process. Precisely, we consider as parent processes the immigration-death process and the Meixner process, whose stationary distributions are respectively the Poisson and the Pascal distributions. Exploiting, on one hand, the properties of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials (in particular, the self-duality property), while, on the other, characterizing the eigenfunctions of some non-local operators by means of the Laplace transform of an inverse subordinator, we are able to explicitly express the spectral decomposition of the transition probability function of the aforementioned processes. The latter expression is then used to prove existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for a class of time-nonlocal Cauchy problems in a suitable Banach sequence space and the probabilistic interpretation of such equations as some sort of non-local backward/forward Kolmogorov equations. Finally, a comparison with the time-changed diffusion case is carried out by referring to the spectral decomposition of the probability density function of time-changed Pearson diffusions. The latter argument hints at the possibility of applying this kind of spectral methods to a wider range of problems. This is the result of joint work with Nikolai Leonenko from Cardiff University and Enrica Pirozzi from University of Naples.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 1 Aprile 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Alexandra Carpentier* (University of Potsdam) Title: *Optimal ranking in crowd-sourcing* Abstract: Consider a crowd sourcing problem where we have n experts and d tasks. The average ability of each expert for each task is stored in an unknown matrix M, which is only observed in noise and incompletely. We make no (semi) parametric assumptions, but assume that both experts and tasks can be perfectly ranked: so that if an expert is better than another, she performs on average better on all tasks than the other - and that the same holds for the tasks. This implies that if the matrix M is permuted so that the experts and tasks are perfectly ranked, then the permuted matrix M is bi-isotonic. We focus on the problem of recovering the optimal ranking of the experts in l_2 norm, when the questions are perfectly ranked. We provide a minimax-optimal and computationally feasible method for this problem, based on hierarchical clustering, PCA, and exchange of informations among the clusters. We prove in particular - in the case where d > n - that the problem of estimating the expert ranking is significantly easier than the problem of estimating the matrix M. This talk is based on joint work with Emmanuel Pilliat and Nicolas Verzelen. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/Z3MVuM7MixQHxrmF6 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81557586058?pwd=SllnbU8wcDh4M2pFNEEvQkk5Q2VqUT09> Meeting ID: 815 5758 6058 Passcode: 518172 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Buona giornata, Massimiliano ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Assistant Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> ________________________________ From: Vera Lucia Ribeiro <veralu(a)ime.usp.br> Sent: 22 March 2022 17:41 Subject: NeuroMat webinar, March 29, 2022 NeuroMat webinars 2022 pathways to the 2023 IHP thematic program Random Processes in the Brain Webinar title Structure-preserving Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) for stochastic neuronal models by Massimiliano Tamborrino Department of Statistics, University of Warwick Tuesday, March 29, 2022 at 10 am (S.Paulo local time) / 3 pm (Paris local time) meet.google.com/jki-nokz-tyz<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmeet.googl…> Abstract: ABC has become one of the major tools for parameter inference in complex mathematical models in the last decade. The method is based on the idea of deriving an approximate posterior density aiming to target the true (unavailable) posterior by running massive simulations from the model for different parameters to replace the intractable likelihood, choosing then those parameters whose simulations are good matches to the observed data. When applying ABC to stochastic models, the derivation of effective summary statistics and proper distances is particularly challenging, since simulations from the model under the same parameter configuration result in different output. Moreover, since exact simulation from complex stochastic models is rarely possible, reliable numerical methods need to be applied. In this talk, we show how to use the underlying structural properties of the model to construct specific ABC summaries that are less sensitive to the intrinsic stochasticity of the model, and the importance of adopting reliable property-preserving numerical (splitting) schemes for the synthetic data generation. Indeed, the commonly used Euler-Maruyama scheme may drastically fail even with very small stepsizes. The proposed approach is illustrated first on the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo model, and then on the broad class of partially observed Hamiltonian stochastic differential equations, in particular on the stochastic Jensen-and-Rit neural mass model, both with simulated and with real electroencephalography (EEG) data, for both one neural population [2] and a network of neural populations (ongoing work).

(PMS)^2 online talk: Luisa Andreis
by margherita Zanella 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) Title: Phase transitions in random graphs and coagulation processes. Abstract: Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos–Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a typeand edges are present independently according to the type of the vertices thatthey are connecting. In the sparse regime, these graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdos–Renyi model. We will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelationphase transition in coagulation processes and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K\"onig (WIAS and TUBerlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini(WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS).

Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, il Prof. *Giacomo Aletti* (Dipartimento di Scienze e Politiche Ambientali, Università degli studi di Milano) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Mathematical, numerical and statistical problems in the analysis of probabilistic counting of distinct elements* Abstract: Data streams are sequences of objects that cannot be available for random access but must be analyzed sequentially when they arrive and immediately discharged. One of the main applications in streaming algorithms concerns the problem of counting the number F0 of distinct elements in a stream, when the information that can be stored is of the order of the logarithm of the quantity of interest F0. In this seminar, the Flajolet-Martin class of probabilistic algorithms is analyzed from a probabilistic point of view, thus opening several computational, statistical, and mathematical problems. Connections with some consolidated theories will be shown. The results presented may be found in Aletti G. Analytical Confidence Intervals for the Number of Different Objects in Data Streams.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Langxuan Su (Duke University) to be held next Wednesday in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto ------------------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: March 23, 2022, 15:00 CET Speaker: Langxuan Su (Duke University) Title: A Large Deviation Approach to Posterior Consistency in Dynamical Systems Abstract: We provide asymptotic results concerning (generalized) Bayesian inference for certain dynamical systems based on a large deviation approach. Given a sequence of observations, a class of parametrized model processes and a loss function, we specify the generalized posterior distribution. We state conditions on the model family and the loss function such that the posterior distribution converges. The two conditions we require are: (1) a conditional large deviation behavior for a single model process, and (2) an exponential continuity condition over the model family for the map from the parameter to the loss incurred between a model process and the observations. The proposed framework is quite general, we apply it to two very different classes of dynamical systems: continuous time hypermixing processes and Gibbs processes on shifts of finite type. We also show that the generalized posterior distribution concentrates asymptotically on those parameters that minimize the expected loss and a divergence term, hence proving posterior consistency.

Under a condition of stabilization for the random environment, our results establish existence and non-existence of subcritical regimes for the size of the cluster at the origin in terms of volume, diameter and number of points, also including their moments. The second part of the talk will address rates of convergence of the percolation probability for the Cox--Boolean model with fixed radii in a variety of asymptotic regimes. This is based on joint work with Christian Hirsch, András Tóbiás and Élie Cali.
