Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Benedikt Jahnel (WIAS, Berlin)
by Marco Formentin 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on March 25 at 14.30. The seminar will be held online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Benedikt Jahnel (WIAS, Berlin)  Title: Phase transitions and large deviations for the Boolean model of continuum percolation for Cox point processes  MARCH 25 (Friday) - 14:30 Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83753744114 (meeting ID 837 5374 4114), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In this talk, I consider the Boolean model with random radii based on Cox point processes, i.e., Poisson point processes in random environment. 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.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Valentina Cammarota
by Maurizia Rossi 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Valentina Cammarota* (Università di Roma La Sapienza) Title: *No repulsion between critical points for random plane wave and planar Gaussian random fields.* Abstract: Random plane wave is conjectured to be a universal model for high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on generic compact Riemannian manifolds. This is known to be true on average. We discuss one of important geometric observable: critical points. We first compute one-point function for the critical point process, in particular we compute the expected number of critical points inside any open set. After that we compute the short-range asymptotic behaviour of the two-point function. This gives an unexpected result that the second factorial moment of the number of critical points in a small disc scales as the fourth power of the radius. Joint work with Dmitry Beliaev and Igor Wigman. Date and time: *Monday March 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)*. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84185018822?pwd=UE80NXJ2Z01GaWN3aTduMGVpeG9EQT09 ID riunione: *841 8501 8822* Passcode: *713253* This 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.

Seminar in Statistics - CRISTINA BUTUCEA

12 Mar '22

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 18 Marzo 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Cristina Butucea* (CREST, ENSAE IP Paris) Title: *Nonlinear functionals estimation under local differential privacy* Abstract: The concept of differential privacy provides a rigorous formalism to randomize data and quantify the amount of privacy. We consider i.i.d. individuals with outcomes distributed according to the common probability distribution P. This original data is further randomized using a privacy mechanism into observations that the statistician is allowed to use in order to recover information about the distribution P. We will consider local differential privacy where each sample from the original data is privatized on the user’s local machine before its release. We build privatized samples and nonparametric estimation methods of nonlinear functionals of the probability density and prove their optimality. We show that for the estimation of a quadratic functional, interactive procedures that use previously released private data are faster than the non interactive ones. In both cases we show how to produce privacy mechanisms and estimators adaptive to (free of) the smoothness of the underlying density. We extend these results to non smooth functionals of the density. This is based on joint work with A. Rohde, L. Steinberger and Y. Issartel. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/s6n5Z8QwNYp7fypw7 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88303761211?pwd=MzFhOThna1B5WWFqWVNySEVMcEVMdz09> Meeting ID: 883 0376 1211 Passcode: 493770 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/> -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Mean-field games are games with a large number of identical small agents and symmetric interactions, which have found many applications in finance and economics. The linear programming approach is a relaxation technique, which allows to prove existence results under weak assumptions, and lends itself well to numerical implementation. We will present an application of the approach to a model of energy markets and discuss the « linear programming fictitious play » algorithm for approximating the equilibrium. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/Bmxgd6w2wxtMT6aT9 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88303761211?pwd=MzFhOThna1B5WWFqWVNySEVMcEVMdz09> Meeting ID: 883 0376 1211 Passcode: 493770 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/>

Fwd: Oberwolfach Arbeitsgemeinschaft on Quantitative Stochastic Homogenization
by Faggionato, Alessandra 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

Buongiorno, Antoine Gloria mi ha pregata di pubblicizzare il gruppo di lavoro ``Oberwolfach Arbeitsgemeinschaft'' su ``Quantitative Stochastic Homogenization'' organizzata da A. Gloria, F.Otto ad Oberwolfach nella settimana October 16th - October 22nd 2022. Sotto trovate varie informazioni e al link anche una descrizione e un programma dettagliati, prese dalla mail che mi ha inviato. Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The Arbeitsgemeinschaft is an old Oberwolfach institution, started by Faltings and Deninger. It is a reading group with presentations, organized like a students' seminar. The target group are mathematicians of all academic age that are interested in an efficient introduction into a timely topic, with an own active participation. As opposed to workshops, people apply to participate. Incidentally, at the end of each Arbeitsgemeinschaft, the participants discuss topics for next year. For a long time, there has been just a single strand. Recently, Oberwolfach decided to widen to three strands, of which Martin Hairer, Peter Scholze, and Andreas Thom are in charge. The idea is that Martin's strand will be targeted towards more applied topics. Martin asked Felix and me to organize the first event on this topic. (Fifteen years ago, Theo Sturm organized a week on Optimal Transportation). It would be great if you could advertise the event; perhaps there are people in your environment that are interested. More details and the list of topics plus material for the talks are under https://www.mfo.de/occasion/2242/www_view Thank you and best wishes, Antoine -- ************************************************* 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 *************************************************

Dear Colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 2022 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT that will be held at the University of Calabria, Cosenza (Italy), 25 - 27 May, 2022. The following Special Session is open to receive your submissions. PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY Measurement uncertainty is an important aspect of measurement that affects quality, costs, decisions, and risks. Therefore, it is mandatory to assess the quality of the results and to establish the accuracy requirements. Probability theory and Statistics provide powerful tools for the development and analysis of new mathematical models of phenomena with random characteristics and for drawing conclusions and making inferences. Nowadays probabilistic models are the basis of a large number of applications in modeling different fields of human activity. In particular, these methods use the language of probability to model different phenomena for the evaluation and forecast of measurements in various areas of applied mathematics. Therefore, the aim of this session is to delineate the fundamentals of probability and mathematical statistics impressing a comprehensive understanding of the theory and mechanics of the calculations through several applications in environmental and metrology fields to improve the quality of life.

Seminari Prisma 7 marzo
by Domenico Marinucci 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Cari colleghi vi ricordo che lunedì prossimo 7 marzo alle ore 16 avranno luogo i prossimi due seminari nella serie Prisma; gli speaker sono Pietro Caputo e Vittoria Silvestri. I seminari avranno luogo come sempre sulla piattaforma teams; i dettagli per il collegamento e la lista completa dei seminari si possono trovare qui: http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/webinars.html Qui sotto titoli ed abstract, grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Pietro Caputo, Roma III Title: Random walks on directed random networks Abstract: Exploration via random walks is often very useful for the analysis of directed networks. For instance, the walk's stationary distribution plays a prominent role in ranking systems and search algorithms. In this lecture, we present some recent progress in the analysis of random walks for a class of sparse directed networks generated by the so-called configuration model. We discuss various properties of the stationary distribution, including bulk behaviour and extremal values. We also consider the mixing time, that is the time needed to reach stationarity, and show that the walk typically displays a cutoff behaviour. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of the cover time, that is the expected time it takes the random walk to cover the whole network. Finally, we analyse the convergence to stationarity when the walk experiences regeneration events such as teleportation, as in the PageRank algorithm, or resampling of the underlying graph, as in a dynamically evolving network. ------------------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri, Sapienza Title: Internal DLA on cylinder graphs: typical profiles and mixing. Abstract: Internal DLA is a mathematical model for the growth of a random cluster of particles according to the harmonic measure on the cluster boundary, seen from an internal point. Performing IDLA on cylinder graphs (i.e. graphs of the form GxZ) gives a Markov chain on the infinite space of particle configurations. We show that this chain is positive recurrent, and give a description of typical (i.e. stationary) configurations. We then analyse the mixing time of this chain. -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Inoltro ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Christian Horacio Olivera <colivera(a)unicamp.br> Date: mer 23 feb 2022 alle ore 15:43 Brazilian School of Probability/São Paulo School of advanced science on singular stochastic partial differential equations and their applications We are very excited to finally announce the EBP 2022/ São Paulo School of advanced science on singular stochastic partial differential equations and their applications. The São Paulo school is divided into two parts and will happen in the weeks of August 2 to August 13, 2022, at Campinas University. In the first week there will be two introductory mini courses by Paulo Ruffino (Campinas) and Weijun Xu (Beijing) (stochastic calculus and rough paths) that lay the foundations for the courses of the second week and are directed towards students and researchers with little to no experience in the field. The courses of the second week are held by Lorenzo Zambotti (Sorbonne) and Martin Hairer (Imperial College London). Here, newly developed theories and their latest developments in the field of singular SPDEs and related areas will be taught. The program will be complemented with several plenary talks, invited talks, a poster session and a visit to the LNLS laboratories, where the only particle accelerator of Latin America is located. The school will give full financial support for around 100 students and young researchers (50 from Brazil and 50 from abroad). To ask for financial support the registration deadline is April 15, 2022. More information under www.ime.unicamp.br/spas2022. The EBP 20022 will coincide with the second week of the São Paulo School. As in previous years, the EBP will consist of two mini courses, plenary talks, contributed talks and poster sessions, all presented in a relaxed atmosphere. This will be our first edition at IMECC-UNICAMP, which is home to one of Brazil's top ranked Mathematics departments. More information under www.ime.unicamp.br/bsp2022. To guarantee a safe event a big auditorium has been reserved that allows social distancing between participants. All required measures to prevent the spread of Covid 19 will be taken.

seminario: "Estimating the directing information and testing for causality", Maria Skoularidou, 1 Marzo
by Umberto Picchini 27 Feb '22

27 Feb '22

Caro gruppo Random, di sotto annuncio un seminario per il 1 Marzo. Saluti. *********************************************** You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. We are very glad to have, on Tuesday March 1, Maria Skoularidou <https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/people/in-alphabetical-order/n-to-s/maria-sko…> who will talk of: ///"Estimating the directing information and testing for causality" / * * *About the speaker: *Maria Skoularidou <https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/people/in-alphabetical-order/n-to-s/maria-sko…> is a PhD student at Cambridge University, UK. Her thesis is focused on probabilistic machine learning and, more precisely, towards using generative modelling in healthcare. Her fields of interest lie in the underpinnings, theory and methodology of machine intelligence, Bayesian inference, theoretical computer science and information theory. She is founder and chair of {Dis}Ability in AI <https://elesa.github.io/ability_in_AI/> and founder and secretary of Women in Data Science and Statistics (RSS special interest group). // //* * *Abstract: *The problem of estimating the directed information rate between two discrete processes { X n } and {Yn } via the plug-in (or maximum-likelihood) estimator is considered. When the joint process {(Xn,Yn)} is a Markov chain of a given memory length, the plug-in estimator is shown to be asymptotically Gaussian and to converge at the optimal rate O(1/√n) under appropriate conditions; this is the first estimator that has been shown to achieve this rate. An important connection is drawn between the problem of estimating the directed information rate and that of performing a hypothesis test for the presence of causal influence between the two processes. Under fairly general conditions, the null hypothesis, which corresponds to the absence of causal influence, is equivalent to the requirement that the directed information rate be equal to zero. In that case, a finer result is established, showing that the plug-in converges at the faster rate O (1/ n) and that it is asymptotically χ 2 -distributed. This is proved by showing that this estimator is equal to (a scalar multiple of) the classical likelihood ratio statistic for the above hypothesis test. Finally, it is noted that these results facilitate the design of an actual likelihood ratio test for the presence or absence of causal influence.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*:https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/61015800942 Password: 697666 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 1 March at 14.15-15.15*(Swedish time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

We use it to study optimal government support in a lockdown that creates heterogeneous revenue losses to firms, which must borrow from banks. Firms’ increase in debt reduces their output due to moral hazard. Banks need safe collateral to raise funds. Without government support, aggregate risk constrains bank lending, amplifying output losses. Optimal support provides sufficient aggregate risk insurance, and is implemented with firm-specific transfers, fairly-priced guarantees on bank debt, and countercyclical firms’ taxation to achieve a fiscal surplus target. Our results shed light on suboptimality dimensions in the actual policy responses. <#> To attend in presence, register here https://forms.gle/vPYYEGBktf66zc4W6 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/f9zEQSjy6xY7o19sfmiU7UwOhW9DQd5VBI…> To attend online, join zoom meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88281857502?pwd=eW5GazNrYnFUUVR0cGg3RUlCM0NYUT09 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/-IGT70kXO1-43Lgp7MtmZ2Fo3avErRm3RM…> Meeting ID: 882 8185 7502 Passcode: 161878 <#> <#> *March 2, 2022 | 16:00 - 17:15 @ WEBINAR* <#> *Schumpeterian Competition in a Lucas Economy* Daniel Andrei, /McGill University/ <#> *Abstract.* We model a rent-seeking game where agents experiment with a new technology and compete for claims to a consumption stream. We characterize how creative destruction affects risk, wealth, and asset prices. Competition not only imposes excessive disruption risk on existing assets and higher technological uncertainty, it also increases the wealth duration (the weighted-average maturity of the consumption stream). Because of hedging motives, a complementarity between wealth duration and technological uncertainty decreases systematic risk. If competition is sufficiently intense, a negative risk premium may arise. The model generates price paths consistent with boom-bust patterns and transient episodes of negative expected excess returns. We discuss the implications of competition for income inequality. <#> To attend online, Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82378901875?pwd=MVhPeTZGZktWNFk3RmdyMUltb3lDUT09 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/tRYUAKB8XcDiTZ9YGCloGbosl3wS0nUBFI…> Meeting ID: 823 7890 1875 Passcode: 423048 <#> <#> <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/iaN__jlfz6z7ijnfLR9yi2AHyTYkufRgRm…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/7J-M65ra_O8_zk55wtbsnjVbAlqEnu-eZ_…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Gny4_tfBFbYYjw5HiREGZ-3ih-MVeJe-HI…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Ya696wYXuXevZmqUAl4AriMzYAAdxWQM75…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/wGq5ypAH5lBEZNV43pojp_3Bxd-QPNIYqf…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Q-3bd3A33E3Uq--boYenIHuOmG53Ynvmlq…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/zolUnqcEQVaFklBL9NPBCULdSO9KrCqZol…> <#> *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.

by Daniele Cappelletti 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce the following PhD course: The PhD course "Analysis and control of stochastic models of biomolecular interactions", taught by Dr. Ankit Gupta (Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, ETH Zürich) will be hosted by Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in May 17-20, 2022. Attending in person is strongly recommended, but other options are available if necessary. To register and for any question, please write to daniele.cappelletti(a)polito.it. The course will deal with stochastic reaction network models, which are continuous time Markov chains commonly used to model biochemical dynamics within cells. Their theoretical and computational analysis is often quite challenging, and design of mathematical methods for their study is currently a very active research area. The goal of this course is to familiarize the students with a broad spectrum of these methods and illustrate them with several biological applications of current and lively interest in the research community. In particular, the following topics will be covered: 1. Finite State Projection methods 2. Moment Closure Schemes 3. Simulation approaches 4. Separation of Extrinsic and Intrinsic noise from biological data 5. Design of intracellular controllers in living cells Best regards, Daniele Cappelletti

(PMS)^2 online talk: Boualem Djehiche
by margherita Zanella 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Boualem Djehiche (KTH, Stockholm) Title: Zero-sum mean-field Dynkin games. Abstract: I will review recent results on a class of zero-sum game problems of mean-field type which extend the classical zero-sum Dynkin game problems. The results I will highlight include sufficient conditions under which such a game admits a value and a saddle point and a characterization of the value of the game in terms of a specific class of doubly reflected backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) of mean-field type. Moreover, a corresponding system of weakly interacting values of zero-sum Dynkin games is introduced and is shown to converge to the value of the zero-sum mean-field Dynkin game. In particular, a propagation of chaos result is derived. This is a joint work with Roxana Dumistrescu. Date and time: Monday February 28, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone).

seminar: "Combined analysis of spatially misaligned data using Gaussian fields and the stochastic partial differential equation approach.", Paula Moraga 22 February
by Umberto Picchini 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. We are very glad to have, on Tuesday February 22, Paula Moraga <https://www.paulamoraga.com/> (KAUST) who will talk of: ///"Combined analysis of spatially misaligned data using Gaussian fields and the stochastic partial differential equation approach."/ //** paula moraga *About the speaker: *Paula Moraga <https://www.paulamoraga.com/> is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the Principal Investigator of the GeoHealth research group. Her research focuses on the development of innovative statistical methods and computational tools for geospatial data analysis and health surveillance, and the impact of her work has directly informed strategic policy in reducing disease burden in several countries. She has developed modeling architectures to understand the geographic and temporal patterns and identify targets for intervention of diseases such as malaria in Africa and cancer in Australia, and has worked on the development of a number of R packages for Bayesian risk modeling, detection of disease clusters, and risk assessment of travel-related spread of disease. // //* * *Abstract: *Spatially misaligned data are becoming increasingly common due to advances in both data collection and management in a wide range of scientific disciplines including the epidemiological, ecological and environmental fields. Here, we present a Bayesian geostatistical model for fusion of data obtained at point and areal resolutions. The model assumes that underlying all observations there is a spatially continuous variable that can be modeled using a Gaussian random field process. The model is fitted using the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) and the stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) approaches. In the SPDE approach, a continuously indexed Gaussian random field is represented as a discretely indexed Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) by means of a finite basis function defined on a triangulation of the region of study. In order to allow the combination of point and areal data, a new projection matrix for mapping the GMRF from the observation locations to the triangulation nodes is proposed which takes into account the types of data to be combined. The performance of the model is examined via simulation when it is fitted to point, areal, and point and areal data combined to predict several simulated surfaces that can appear in real settings. The model is also applied to predict the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, USA, during 2011. The results show that the combination of point and areal data provides better predictions than if the method is applied to just one type of data, and this is consistent over both simulated and real data. We conclude the approach presented may be a helpful advance in the area of spatial statistics by providing a useful tool that is applicable in a wide range of situations where information at different spatial resolutions needs to be combined. *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64709763394 Password: 920248 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 22 February at 14.15-15.15*(Swedish time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Seminar José Figueroa Lopez in Verona, 23/2/22 at 12, Efficient Volatility Estimation for Lévy Processes with Jumps of Unbounded Variation
by Cecilia Mancini 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

José Figueroa Lopez Professor at the Washington University in St. Louis will give, both on site and on line, the SEMINAR Efficient Volatility Estimation for Lévy Processes with Jumps of Unbounded Variation Abstract. Statistical inference for stochastic processes based on high-frequency observations has been an active research area for more than a decade. One of the most well-known and widely studied problems is that of estimation of the quadratic variation of the continuous component of an Itô semimartingale with jumps. Several rate- and variance-efficient estimators have been proposed in the literature when the jump component is of bounded variation. However, to date, very few methods can deal with jumps of unbounded variation. By developing new high-order expansions of the truncated moments of a Lévy process, we construct a new rate- and variance-efficient estimator for a class of Lévy processes of unbounded variation, whose small jumps behave like those of a stable Lévy process with Blumenthal-Getoor index less than 8/5. The proposed method is based on a two-step debiasing procedure for the truncated realized quadratic variation of the process. Our Monte Carlo experiments indicate that the method outperforms other efficient alternatives in the literature in the setting covered by our theoretical framework. All interested people are warmly invited to participate Professor Figueroa-Lopez is visiting our department from February the 10th to March the 22nd, and from June the 15th to August the 15th For attendance via Zoom, please register at the following page, we will send you the meeting link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ6PccwEy8tSEngi0JMUKYEJ4yOHuuwur… Live attendance: the Department of Economics, via Cantarane 24, Vaona room.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Coghi, Monday February 14 at 17.30
by Carlo Orrieri 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Michele Coghi (Università d Trento) Title: Rough McKean-Vlasov dynamics for robust ensemble Kalman filtering. Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of incorporating data into misspecified and multiscale dynamical models, we study a McKean-Vlasov equation that contains the data stream as a common driving rough path. This setting allows us to prove well-posedness as well as continuity with respect to the driver in an appropriate rough-path topology. The latter property is key in our subsequent development of a robust data assimilation methodology: We establish propagation of chaos for the associated interacting particle system, which in turn is suggestive of a numerical scheme that can be viewed as an extension of the ensemble Kalman filter to a rough-path framework. Finally, we discuss a data-driven method based on subsampling to construct suitable rough path lifts and demonstrate the robustness of our scheme in a number of numerical experiments related to parameter estimation problems in multiscale contexts. Based on arXiv:2107.06621 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.06621>. Date and time: Monday February 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88138955113?pwd=R1Vpa2xWVDlFc2pjUXIxSWpWU21LQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88138955113?pwd=R1Vpa2xWVDlFc2pjUXIxSWpWU21LQT09> ID riunione: 881 3895 5113 Passcode: 672537 This talk is the second 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.

Online workshop announcement

08 Feb '22

*Big Data challenges for Mathematics: state of the art and future perspectives* *Online webinar – February 25, 2022* The workshop will be held on the platform Zoom and will be streamed on YouTube. Participants who would like to follow the workshop in real time and participate to the discussion with the speakers are requested to register. See the web site of the workshop for registration, programme and additional information: *http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/* <http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/> *Aims of the workshop:* Nowadays the data deluge is the hallmark of a new kind of ‘Law of Large Numbers’ that builds intelligence from large, heterogeneous, noisy and, in general, complex data sets collected from mobile devices, the Internet of Things, software logs, automated medical devices, social media, and so many other data sources. The classical mathematical and statistical paradigms are often not applicable to current real-world problems, so there is a growing demand of new mathematical and statistical techniques to face such problems, able to shed some light on the often black-box techniques which are usually applied in such context and which characterise Deep Learning and, more generally, Artificial Intelligence. On the other side, since computers can not do everything by themselves, there is a growing need for new professional and scientific figures, the data scientists, that master a whole range of skills, ranging from data processing to sophisticated math tools and computational skills that are needed to extract the knowledge. The state of the art and future research perspectives in this framework will be highlighted and discussed in this webinar by the PhD students enrolled in the EU funded MSCA Project BIGMATH <http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/> (grant n. 812912), starting from a set of challenging industrial case studies. Additionally some well known keynote speakers will introduce their point of view on possible future perspectives in different specific and quite hot subject areas related with the analysis of complex and big data. -- ------------------------------------ Alessandra Micheletti Associate Professor - Probability and Mathematical Statistics Dept. of Environmental Science and Policy - ESP Università degli Studi di Milano via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano, Italy phone: +39-02503-16130 fax: +39-02503-16090 https://alessandramichelettiwebpage.wordpress.com/

Prossimi seminari PRISMA
by Domenico Marinucci 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Cari colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali ripetizioni, vi annuncio i prossimi due seminari della serie UMI-Prisma, che si svolgeranno online su piattaforma teams lunedì prossimo 7 febbraio dalle 16 alle 18: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Ernesto De Vito, Dipartimento di Matematica e MaLGa Center, Università di Genova Title: Empirical risk minimization: old and new results Abstract: The first part of the talk is devoted to a brief introduction to supervised learning focusing on the regularised empirical risk minimization (ERM) on Reproducing Kernel Hilbert spaces. Though ERM achieves optimal convergence rates [1], it requires huge computational resources on high dimensional datasets. The second half of the talk is devoted to discuss some recent ideas where the hypothesis space is a low dimensional random space. This approach naturally leads to computational savings, but the question is whether the corresponding learning accuracy is degraded. If the random subspace is spanned by a random subset of the data, the statistical-computational tradeoff has been first explored for the least squares loss [2,3], for the least squares loss, then for self-concordant loss functions [4] , as the logistic loss, and, quite recently, for non-smooth convex Lipschitz loss functions [5], as the hinge loss.

We will show direct applications in probability representation and non-convex optimization. In particular, the model allows to derive an algorithm for non-convex optimization that is adaptive to the degree of differentiability of the objective function and achieves optimal rates of convergence. Finally, we show how to apply the same technique to other interesting problems in applied mathematics that can be easily expressed in terms of inequalities.

Learning-augmented CMSs aim at improving the CMS by means of learning models that allow to better exploit data properties. We focus on the learning-augmented CMS of Cai, Mitzenmacher and Adams (NeurIPS, 2018), which relies on Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) modeling of a data stream via Dirichlet process (DP) priors; this is refereed to as the CMS-DP. We present a novel and rigorous approach of the CMS-DP, and we show that it allows to consider more general classes of nonparametric priors than the DP prior. We apply our approach to develop a novel learning-augmented CMS under power-law data streams, which relies on BNP modeling of the stream via Pitman-Yor process (PYP) priors; this is referred to as the CMS-PYP. Applications to synthetic data and real data show that the CMS-PYP outperfo rms both the CMS and CMS-DP in the estimation of low-frequency tokens; this is known to be a critical feature in natural language processing, where it is indeed common to encounter power-law data.

Seminar Dr Moises Rodriguez Madrena - Roma Tre University
by Francesco Cesarone 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Dear All, we are happy to invite you to the seminar of Dr. Moises Rodriguez Madrena (Universidad de Sevilla - Facultad de Matemáticas) that will take place on Thursday, January 27, 15:00-16:00. The seminar will be held in-person room 18 (Aula 18) of the Department of Business Studies of Roma Tre University (Via Silvio D'Amico, 77 00145 - Roma, Italy), and online via Teams. For security reasons, please send an email to francesco.cesarone(a)uniroma3.it<mailto:francesco.cesarone@uniroma3.it> if you want to attend the seminar in person. We are looking forward to seeing you! Francesco Cesarone ================================================================ Date and time: January 27 (Thursday), 15:00 pm Speaker: Dr. Moises Rodriguez Madrena (Universidad de Sevilla - Facultad de Matemáticas) Title: Location Problems: New Advances and Applications Abstract: Location problems are among the most important problems in the area of Operation Research. In general, a location problem consists of determining the position of one or more facilities to satisfy the demand of a set of demand points, such that some criteria (represented by objective functions) are optimized (minimize or maximize). In this seminar, we present two new location problems that arise from two different applied scopes. (1) In the literature of transportation research field, it is frequent to address routing or distribution problems where the movement between points is given by the combination of different transportation modes. For instance, movements within or outside an urban area could be different: within the city boundary the movement is slow due to the layout of the streets and traffic, while outside this boundary in the rural area the movement is fast. This situation can be modeled as regions endowed with different norms, where distances within the regions are the ones induced by the corresponding norm. In this framework, we address the single-facility Weber location problem considering different Lp-norms at different polyhedral regions. (2) Given a set of tradable assets, the classical portfolio selection problem consists in determining the amount of capital to be invested in each asset to build the most performing portfolio. A relatively recent promising strand of research is to exploit clustering information of an asset network to develop new portfolio optimization paradigms. Following this idea, we endow the asset network with a metric based on correlation coefficients between assets’ returns and show how classical location problems on networks can be used for clustering assets. More precisely, in the bi-objective (gain-risk) portfolio selection model, we add a third criterion which is represented by the objective function of the standard p-median location problem. In this way, we are able to evaluate the effect of different degrees of clustering on the selected portfolios. We tackle the above problems using Mathematical Programming tools (MISOCP and MILP formulations for the first and the second problems, respectively). The usefulness of our approach is validated by reporting some computational experiments.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Christoph Thaele (University of Bochum, Germany)
by Marco Formentin 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on January 28 at 14.30. The seminar will be held online via the Zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Christoph Thaele (University of Bochum, Germany)  Title: Poisson hyperplanes in hyperbolic space  JANUARY 28 (Friday) - 14:30 Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88182977183 (meeting ID 881 8297 7183), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In the focus of this talk are random tessellations in hyperbolic space induced by Poisson point processes on the space of hyperbolic hyperplanes (totally geodesic subspaces of co-dimension 1). In the first part of the talk we consider the so-called k-skeleton of such tessellations and prove that, when observed in a sequence of increasing observation windows, the k-volume of the k-skeleton satisfies a central limit theorem only for dimensions 2 and 3 and that asymptotic normality fails in all higher dimensions. In the second part of the talk we determine the non-Gaussian limiting distribution for the special case k=d-1 and indicate possible generalizations. On behalf of the organizers, Marco Formentin

Each vertex represents an individual which may be susceptible, infected or removed. At the beginning only one node is infected and each node $x$ has a random spread capacity $L_x$. Once infected, the node $x$ becomes an emitter and has $L_x$ attempts to infect other nodes, which are randomly chosen. If the attempt is towards a susceptible node $y$, then $y$ becomes infected, if it is towards an infected or removed node, then $x$ loses an infection attempt. > When $x$ has used all its spread capacity, it becomes removed and no longer interacts with the rest of the population. This model was studied by Comets et al. in the case where the spread capacities are i.i.d. and the nodes which one attempt to infect are chosen uniformly. > We study the case where the population is divided into J types and each type has a possibly different susceptibility, that is, some individuals have a larger probability of being chosen as targets. Also the law of the spread capacity may depend on the type. We obtain a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the duration of the process and the proportion of infected nodes. We prove that when the spread capacity is homogeneous, then a population with inhomogeneous susceptibility is overall less affected by the epidemics than a population with homogeneous susceptibility. > > This is joint work with J.Kampf, E.Sava-Huss and F.Zucca. > > > Webex meeting, meeting link: > > {https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz-de/j.php?MTID=mfb7a477bc53fac8b0a6db53cf1f2690e} > > Meeting number: 2734 226 6767 > > Password: Je3q3w37mJG > > The meeting opens at 10:40, the 50min talk starts at 11:00 > > Organisator/in: W.

Si avvisa che in data 14-01-2022, alle ore 15:00 precise, si svolgerà online il seguente seminario: Relatore: Riccardo Scimone, Politecnico di Milano Titolo: A look at the spatio-temporal mortality patterns in italy during the covid-19 pandemic through the lens of mortality densities Sommario: With the tools and perspective of Object Oriented Spatial Statistics, we analyze official daily data on mortality from all causes in the provinces and municipalities of Italy for the year 2020, the first of the COVID-19 pandemic. By comparison with mortality data from 2011 to 2019, we assess the local impact of the pandemic as perturbation factor of the natural spatio-temporal death process. For each Italian province and year, mortality data are represented by the densities of time of death during the calendar year. In this talk, the use of a density-on-density functional linear model, formulated to decouple temporal and spatial variability, will be firstly illustrated, followed by a spatial analysis focused on identifying the spatial correlation structure of the death process before and during the pandemic. An anomaly detection framework at the very granular scale of Italian municipalities will also be described.

We study the vectors $\mathbf{q}(A)=(q_x(A))_{x \in X}$ recording the conditional probabilities of extinction in subsets of types $A \subseteq X$, given that the type of the initial individual is $x$. We first investigate the location of the vectors $\mathbf{q}(A)$ in the set of fixed points. Next, we present equivalent conditions for $\mathbf{q}_x(A) < \mathbf{q}_x(B)$ for any initial type $x$ and $A,B \subseteq X$. Finally, we develop a general framework to characterise all distinct extinction probability vectors, and thereby to determine whether there are finitely many, countably many, or uncountably many distinct vectors.

Reminder: Webinar del Gruppo UMI-PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Carissim*, ricordiamo i prossimi seminari online promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 10 gennaio 2022 ore 16:00 Andrea Pascucci TITLE: Kolmogorov equations: old and new results ABSTRACT: In this talk I present a survey of results about linear and nonlinear equations of Kolmogorov type arising in physics and in mathematical finance. These equations typically satisfy a parabolic Hormander condition and induce rich intrinsic geometric structures. Results about the existence and regularity of solutions are presented. Recent applications to stochastic filtering are also discussed. ore 17:00 Elena Issoglio TITLE: McKean SDEs with singular coefficients ABSTRACT: In this talk we consider a class of SDEs with drift depending on the law density of the solution, known as McKean SDEs. The novelty here is that the drift is singular in the sense that it is `multiplied' by a generalised function (element of a negative fractional Sobolev space). Those equations are interpreted in the sense of a suitable singular martingale problem, thus a key tool is the study of the corresponding singular Fokker-Planck equation. We define the notion of solution to the singular McKean equation and show its existence and uniqueness. This is based on a joint work with F. Russo (ENSTA).

Call for abstracts: "Statistical mechanics approaches to earth system dynamics'' EGU Session
by Giulia Carigi 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear Colleagues, with apologies for cross-posting, we would like to draw your attention to the session NP1.1 ``Statistical mechanics approaches to earth system dynamics: invariant measures, response, and large deviations'' to be held as part of the upcoming General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (Vienna, Austria, 3rd to 8th of April 2022). A short description of the session can be found here https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU22/session/42646 or at the end of this email. We would be very happy if you could consider submitting an abstract to this session. IMPORTANT: deadline for abstract submission is 12 January 2022, 13:00 CET For further info on abstract submission see here: https://egu22.eu/abstracts_and_programme/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html EGU2022 will be a hybrid conference – more information at https://egu22.eu/about/provisional_meeting_format.html Best wishes, Jochen Broecker (Convener), Vera Melinda Galfi, Giulia Carigi, Georgios Margazoglou, Jeroen Wouters (Co-Conveners) SESSION DESCRIPTION: The equations governing the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean provide us with an enormously powerful tool to understand and predict the future evolution of these dynamics. By integrating these equations forward in time from a given initial condition, we are able to produce highly realistic trajectories of the earth system's temporal evolution. A number of scientific questions however consider the statistical behaviour of solution ensembles, with the heterogeneity coming from different (yet ``typical'') initial conditions or random external forces. Examples are questions related to the global mean temperature or rainfall, the frequency of extreme events, but also questions regarding the average predictability of the system or its susceptibility to external perturbations. Statistical mechanics provides a framework in which such questions can be addressed. Rather than considering individual solutions, randomness and uncertainty are introduced to describe the ensemble of solutions in a probabilistic manner. This statistical mechanics approach to earth system dynamics will be the theme of this session. Contributions will cover a broad range of aspects from theory to applications and from mathematics to climate science. Topics include: * Novel mathematical techniques from the theory of stochastic processes and PDE's * Examples of ideas and methods from statistical mechanics being applied to the earth system (including, but not limited to, linear response, model reduction, large deviations and related algorithms) * Potential future applications, for instance in downscaling, data assimilation and parametrisations ----------------------------------------------------------------- Giulia Carigi, Postdoctoral Research Fellow Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Reading, UK

Seminar by A. Picarelli in Padova (this Friday)!
by Giorgia Callegaro 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Dear all, it is a pleasure to announce the forthcoming seminar by *Athena Picarelli* (Università di Verona), which will be held *in person* room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department (Torre Archimede) of the University of Padova and online, via Zoom, this Friday. Here are the details: * Date and time: 17 December, 14.30 pm * Title: *Optimal management of pumped hydroelectric production with state constrained optimal control* * Abstract: We present a novel technique to solve the problem of managing optimally a pumped hydroelectric storage system. This technique relies on representing the system as a stochastic optimal control problem with state constraints, these latter corresponding to the finite volume of the reservoirs. Following the recent level-set approach presented in O. Bokanowski, A. Picarelli, H. Zidani, State-constrained stochastic optimal control problems via reachability approach, SIAM J. Control and Optim. 54 (5) (2016), we transform the original constrained problem in an auxiliary unconstrained one in augmented state and control spaces, obtained by introducing an exact penalization of the original state constraints. The latter problem is fully treatable by classical dynamic programming arguments. * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Thanks for your attention and see you soon in Padova, Giorgia Callegaro -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Seminar in Statistics LORENZO MASOERO

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Dicembre 2021, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Lorenzo Masoero *(Amazon) Title: *Improved prediction and optimal sequencing strategies for genomic variant discovery via Bayesian nonparametrics* Abstract:Despite the advent of Big Data, data-gathering in many domains can still be an expensive process that necessitates careful planning when operating under a fixed, limited budget. For instance, sequencing new genomic data is a complex procedure that requires careful tuning: researchers can spend resources to sequence a greater number of genomes (quantity), or spend resources to sequence genomes with increased accuracy (quality). In this talk, I consider the common setting in which scientists have already conducted a pilot study to reveal variants in a genome and are contemplating a follow-up study. Spending additional resources has the potential to reveal new variations in the genome, and thereby new genetic insights. Therefore, practitioners are interested in (i) predicting how many new discoveries they will make under different experimental design choices. In turn, they can leverage these predictions to optimally allocate available resources in the design of a future experiment, e.g. (ii) to maximize the number of future discoveries or (iii) to optimize the usefulness of a future experiment for the task at hand, e.g. the power of an associated statistical test. I discuss novel methodologies to solve the problems mentioned above. Our approach relies on a Bayesian nonparametric formulation that facilitates (i) prediction for the number of new variants in the follow-up study based on the pilot study. We show empirically that, when experimental conditions are kept constant between the pilot and follow-up, our method's prediction is competitive with the best existing methods. Unlike current methods, though, our new method allows practitioners to change experimental conditions between the pilot and the follow-up. We demonstrate how this distinction allows our method to be used for more realistic predictions and for optimal allocation of a fixed budget between quality and quantity. In particular, we first show how, under a fixed budget, my predictions can be used to maximize (ii) the number of new genomic variants discovered in a follow-up study. Last, we show how our framework can guide practitioners in other experimental design problems, and specifically how to achieve (iii) the highest possible power in statistical tests in the context of rare variants association studies. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/jVPLoDCQ1ANSB5dg8 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88971670320?pwd=VXFseHNlYm5EKzFmZ25oTGdlRWw4QT09> Meeting ID: 889 7167 0320 Passcode: 362208 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

(PMS)^2 online talk: Martin Huesmann (Dec 13, 5:30pm)
by Mario Maurelli 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Martin Huesmann* (Universität Münster) *Title*: A fluctuation result for the optimal matching problem *Abstract*: The optimal matching problem is one of the classical random optimization problems. While the asymptotic behavior of the expected cost is well understood only little is known for the asymptotic behavior of the optimal couplings - the solutions to the optimal matching problem. In this talk we show that at all mesoscopic scales the displacement under the optimal coupling converges in suitable Sobolev spaces to a Gaussian field which can be identified as the curl-free part of a vector Gaussian free field. Based on joint work with Michael Goldman. Date and time: *Monday December 13, 17:30-18:30* (Rome time zone) *Zoom link*: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8342220461 This 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. For more information see the dedicated webpage: https://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/ Participation is free and welcome! Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Reminder -- Online Quantitative Finance Seminars @SNS, December 10, 2021
by Giulia Livieri 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Dear all, We would like to announce the following two Online Seminars @SNS: *December 10, 2021 at 3PM (CEST)* *Speaker: *Prof. Agostino Capponi (Columbia University) *Title: * The Adoption of Blockchain-based Decentralized Exchanges (joint work with Dr. Ruizhe Jia) *Abstract: *We show that the blockchain order execution mechanism and liquidity pooling create arbitrage rents in decentralized exchanges. The arbitrage rent raises the cost of liquidity provision and imposes negative externalities on users of the underlying blockchain. In equilibrium, automated market makers (AMMs) are adopted by liquidity providers only if exchange rates of token pairs are sufficiently stable. A pricing curve with higher curvature reduces arbitrage rents, but also decreases trading activities. We provide statistical support for our main model implications using transaction-level data of AMMs. *Link: * https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NjAyODk0YzQtNmVmYS00… We are looking forward to seeing you at the seminars!

And how can we do so at a given level of confidence? This question is central to a great deal of methods for functional data, which require low-dimensional representations whether by functional PCA or other methods. The difficulty is that the determination is to be made on the basis of i.i.d. replications of the process observed discretely and with measurement error contamination. This adds a ridge to the empirical covariance, obfuscating the underlying dimension. We describe a matrix-completion inspired test statistic that circumvents this issue by measuring the best possible least square fit of the empirical covariance's off-diagonal elements, optimised over covariances of given finite rank. For a fixed grid of sufficiently large size, we determine the statistic's asymptotic null distribution as the number of replications grows. We then use it to construct a bootstrap implementation of a stepwise testing procedure controlling the family-wise error rate corresponding to the collection of hypotheses formalising the question at hand. Under minimal regularity assumptions we prove that the procedure is consistent and that its bootstrap implementation is valid. The procedure circumvents smoothing and associated smoothing parameters, is indifferent to measurement error heteroskedasticity, and does not assume a low-noise regime. Based on joint work with Anirvan Chakraborty. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Webinars PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Buon pomeriggio a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA: - Lunedi’ 6 dicembre 2021 ore 16-18 - ore 16, Giulia Di Nunno Titolo: On time changed Lévy noises in modelling, dynamics and control Abstract: The study of time change lays at the intersection of probability and statistics and have interesting potential in the modelling of different phenomena. These models are appealing, since they seem quite close to classical Lévy structures, often easy to simulate, though they are still statistically very different, as they may loose important properties, such as independent increments and Markovianity. It clearly all depends on the time change applied! When it comes to stochastic calculus, stochastic dynamics, and control, we shall see how the use of the interplay of partial information techniques and enlargement of filtrations can help dealing with such dynamics. - ore 17, Alessandra Cretarola Titolo: Optimal reinsurance and investment under common shock dependence between the financial and the actuarial market Abstract: We study the optimal proportional reinsurance and investment strategy for an insurance company which experiences both ordinary and catastrophic claims and wishes to maximize the expected exponential utility of its terminal wealth. We propose a model where the insurance framework is affected by environmental factors, and aggregate claims and stock prices are subject to common shocks, i.e. drastic events such as earthquakes, extreme weather conditions, or even pandemics, that have an immediate impact on the financial market and simultaneously induce insurance claims. Using the classical stochastic control approach based on the Hamilton-Jacobi- Bellman equation, we provide a verification result for the value function via classical solutions to two backward partial differential equations and characterize the optimal strategy. Finally, we discuss the effect of the common shock dependence via a comparison analysis.

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting <https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting> il programma completo per il presente a.a.), con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- Bas KLEIJN (University of Amsterdam) FREQUENTIST LIMITS FROM BAYESIAN STATISTICS We look at the role that the posterior can play in frequentist statistics, with special attention for large-sample limits. There exists an intimate relationship between hypothesis testing and concentration of posterior measure, which combines with a notion called remote contiguity to obtain frequentist convergence results from sequences of Bayesian posterior measures. We shall cover frequentist forms of posterior consistent estimation, rates of posterior convergence, as well as asymptotic uncertainty quantification by enlargement of credible sets and hypothesis testing/model selection with Bayes factors. Plan of the course: eight lectures of 45 minutes each: Lec I - Bayesian Basics (Frequentist/Bayesian formalisms, estimation, coverage, testing) Lec II - The Bernstein-von Mises theorem (Limit shape in smooth parametric models, semi-parametrics) Lec III - Bayes and the Infinite (Consistency, Doob’s theorem, Schwartz’s theorem) Lec IV - Posterior contraction (Barron, Walker, Ghosh-Ghosal-van der Vaart theorems) Lec V - Tests and posteriors (Testing and posterior concentration, Doob’s theorem) Lec VI - Frequentist validity of Bayesian limits (Remote contiguity and frequentist limits) Lec VII - Posterior uncertainty quantification (How confidence sets arise from credible sets) Lec VIII - Uniform and pointwise tests (Which hypotheses are asymptotically testable and which are not?) Time permitting, we shall also consider Lec IX - Bayesian tests and posterior model selection (Model selection with posteriors, some examples) -------------------------------------- L'iniziativa è rivolta agli studenti del secondo anno della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati. Il corso si svolgerà in presenza nell’aula 30, terzo piano, C.so Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino (qui https://www.unito.it/ateneo/gli-speciali/coronavirus-aggiornamenti-la-comun… <https://www.unito.it/ateneo/gli-speciali/coronavirus-aggiornamenti-la-comun…> i requisiti per l’accesso come ingressi occasionali) secondo il seguente calendario: - mar 30 Novembre, h.14-16 - mer 1 Dicembre, h.14-16 - mar 7 Dicembre, h.14-16 - gio 9 Dicembre, h.11.15-13 e sarà trasmesso in diretta streaming (senza registrazione) tramite la seguente riunione Webex, valida per tutte le lezioni: https://unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MTID=m508322b370362bfd0618d768e4772ac0 <https://unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MTID=m508322b370362bfd0618d768e4772ac0> Numero riunione: 2733 233 8719 Password: 9ahN5DGFRU3 Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/>

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 26 Novembre 2021, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Gonzalo Mena *(University of Oxford) Title: *On the unreasonable effectiveness of Sinkhorn algorithm for learning permutations and entropic optimal transport* Abstract: Sinkhorn's algorithm realizes the solution of entropy-regularized linear programs on certain matrix polytopes. In the past years, the interest in this algorithm has grown considerably because of its usefulness as a tool for the modeling of permutations, and because of its fundamental role in the solution of an entropic optimal transport problem, also called the Schrödinger bridge. In this talk, I will give an overview of my work in relation to these two areas. First, regarding entropic optimal transport, I will argue that this tool is valuable for deriving sensible statistical procedures. Indeed, we show that it enjoys a substantially better sample complexity compared to optimal transport, which suffers from the curse of dimensionality. Also, in the more applied setup of model-based clustering we show that it can be used as an alternative to the log-likelihood, since it has fewer bad local optima. Based on this observation, we develop a new algorithm, Sinkhorn-EM, in which we only modify the E-step to solve an Entropic Optimal Transport problem. Our algorithm is shown to attain better practical performance. Second, regarding permutations, I will describe some successful applications in Deep Learning, and in neuroscience, for the inference of neural identities in C.elegans worms.

The performance of PET-ABC was compared with weighted non-linear least squares (WNLS) in terms of reliability of kinetic parameter estimation and statistical power for model selection. Dynamic PET data based on 1-tissue and 2-tissue compartmental models were simulated with 2 noise models and 3 noise levels. PET-ABC was used to evaluate the reliability of parameter estimates under each condition. It was also used to perform model selection for a simulated noisy dataset composed of a mixture of 1- and 2-tissue compartment kinetics. Finally, PET-ABC was used to analyze a non-steady state dynamic study performed on a fully conscious rat administered either 2 mg.kg-1 amphetamine or saline 20 min after tracer injection.

Seminar by Sergio Pulido in Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Sergio Pulido (École Nationale Supérieure d'Informatique pour l'Industrie et l'Entreprise) will give a talk at our Department. Date: 24 November 12:00 CET. Title: American options in the rough Heston model Abstract: Rough volatility models have emerged as compelling alternatives to classical semimartingale models to capture important stylized features of the implied volatility surface and the time series of realized volatility. The rough Heston model is particularly appealing because its affine structure facilitates the pricing of European options using Fourier techniques. In this work we consider the problem of pricing American options in the rough Heston model. The complexity of the problem stems from the absence of a Markovian-semimartingale structure in the model. To overcome this difficulty we work with a Markovian multi-factor semimartingale stochastic volatility model, which approximates the rough Heston model. In this approximated model, American options can be priced using a backward approach and simulation-based methods. We prove the convergence of American options prices in the multi-factor model towards the prices in the rough Heston model. The proof relies on the explicit expression of the conditional characteristic function of the joint forward process and the spot price, which is a consequence of the affine structure of the model. We illustrate with some numerical examples the behavior of American option prices with respect to some parameters in the model. This is joint work with Etienne Chevalier and Elizabeth Zuniga.

To shed some light on this issue, we study cryptocurrencies by comparing decentralized blockchain-based venues (DEX) to centralized crypto exchanges (CEX) by assessing two key aspects of market quality: price efficiency and market liquidity. Using a novel and comprehensive data set, we find that overall CEX provide better market quality but CEX becomes competitive if transaction costs exceed 100,000$. Further, the main determinant of the lower price-efficiency of DEX is the high gas price stemming from proof-of work blockchains. We propose and empirically validate a stylized theory of DEX liquidity provision, which links trading volumes, protocol fees, and liquidity in equilibrium. Our model prefigures the possible scenarios of efficiency paths for DEX to overtake CEX. *Link: * https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDFlZmJkNDItYmVlNC00… ======================================================================== *December 10, 2021 at 3PM (CEST)* *Speaker: *Prof. Agostino Capponi (Columbia University) *Title: * The Adoption of Blockchain-based Decentralized Exchanges (joint work with Dr. Ruizhe Jia) *Abstract: *We show that the blockchain order execution mechanism and liquidity pooling create arbitrage rents in decentralized exchanges. The arbitrage rent raises the cost of liquidity provision and imposes negative externalities on users of the underlying blockchain. In equilibrium, automated market makers (AMMs) are adopted by liquidity providers only if exchange rates of token pairs are sufficiently stable. A pricing curve with higher curvature reduces arbitrage rents, but also decreases trading activities. We provide statistical support for our main model implications using transaction-level data of AMMs. *Link: * https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NjAyODk0YzQtNmVmYS00… We are looking forward to seeing you at the seminars!

Webinar Schlather @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 18 November 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Martin Schlather (University of Mannheim) Title: A Generalized Approach to Principal Component Analysis Abstract: Principal Component Analysis is a well known procedure to reduce intrinsic complexity of a standardized data set, essentially through simplifying the correlation structure. We provide a substantial extension based on semi-groups, which includes distributions without second moments. We reformulate the PCA as a best low rank approximation defined through a regression problem, which is closely connected to autoencoders and admits solutions under mild assumptions. As a specific example, we apply our general formulation to extreme value distributions. In this case solving the regression problem reduces to a tractable and practically solvable problem for real datasets. As a side effect of our general approach, the perspective on uncorrelated variables is inverted: the assertion that the covariance is zero is not the definition, but a corollary; the fact that uncorrelated variables need not be independent is not a warning, but intrinsic to the definition. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/91941945297?pwd=VGhFVGc5OUVHUUFXQ2tlK0xQWkV… Meeting ID: 919 4194 5297 Passcode: 932042 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

Probabilistically yours, Bastien Mallein and Sébastien Martineau ----------------------- The Breuer-Major theorem: old and new Ivan Nourdin The celebrated Breuer-Major theorem is a central limit theorem for a sum of elements of the form $f(X_k)$, where $f : R \to R$ is a given function and $X$ is a Gaussian stationary sequence with unit variance. In my talk, I will introduce the so-called Malliavin-Stein method, and I will then use it to investigate different problems related to the Breuer-Major theorem. Wiener chaos and the geometry of random fields Giovanni Peccati I will present some recent applications of Gaussian analysis techniques (related in particular to Wiener chaos and the Malliavin-Stein method) to the study of level sets of Gaussian random waves - with special emphasis on models defined on two-dimensional manifolds, like the plane, the 2-torus and the sphere. In the Euclidean case, our results can be encoded in the general framework of the Breuer-Major theorem described in the first talk of the session. Several open questions will be presented along the way. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81689646469?pwd=cWI1V0NWeUJJSzJKa0tLWkMyVDdaQT09 [2] Meeting ID: 816 8964 6469 Passcode: 963950 If you are having trouble with zoom, or if the capacity of the zoom room gets exceeded, you can also access to the Youtube live stream at the channel of the seminar: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiLiEQGTp6bZEhuHDM-WNWQ [3] Links: ------ [1] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro… [2] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.z… [3] https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…

(PMS)^2 online talk: Laura Monk [Nov 22, 5:30pm]
by Maurizia Rossi 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Laura Monk* (Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik, Bonn) Title: The spectral gap of random compact hyperbolic surfaces *Abstract*: The focus of this talk will be the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact hyperbolic surface, also called its spectral gap. Similarly to expanders for graphs, surfaces with a large spectral gap are well-connected, and have good mixing properties. In spite of significant effort in the last 35 years, we have failed to construct examples of large surfaces with an optimal spectral gap. In this talk, *based on joint work with Nalini Anantharaman*, I will explain how a new probabilistic approach has led to great progress in this question in recent years. Rather than trying to exhibit examples, we now aim at showing that random surfaces have a large spectral gap with probability close to one. This requires us to have a good model to sample random surfaces, and I will briefly introduce two such models. Date and time: Monday *November 22, 5:30pm-6:30pm* (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2940008616 This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability & Mathematical Statistics *organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome! (though limited to 100 participants for technical reasons).

Seminars in Florence: Magnanini and Iyer
by Luisa Andreis 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, we are pleased to invite you to the following two seminars (on site) on Wednesday, November 17, 2021, at the University of Florence. The room is the Aula Magna, building Morgagni 65 (ex Farmacologia), Viale Morgagni 65, 50134, Firenze. Time: 11:45-12:45 Speaker: Elena Magnanini, WIAS Berlin Title: LIMIT THEOREMS FOR THE EDGE DENSITY IN EXPONENTIAL RANDOM GRAPHS Abstract: In the present talk we focus on the derivation of some asymptotic properties for the family of exponential random graphs. This model can be seen as the generalization of the dense Erdӧs-Rényi random graph and follows the statistical mechanics approach of defining a Hamiltonian to weight the probability measure on the space of graphs, assigning higher mass to graphs with “desirable” properties. In particular our analysis will be focused on the edge-triangle model, a two-parameter family of exponential random graphs where the Hamiltonian only includes edge and triangle densities. We borrow tools from statistical mechanics together with large deviations techniques to obtain limit theorems for the edge density in the so-called replica symmetric regime, where the limiting free energy of the model is known together with a complete characterization of the phase diagram. First, we determine the asymptotic distribution of the edge density, as the graph size n tends to infinity, in the entire replica symmetric regime. In particular, we obtain a strong law of large numbers when the parameters are chosen outside the critical curve and the convergence to a mixture of Dirac measures whenever working on the critical curve. We then study the fluctuations of the edge density around its average for all parameter values outside the critical curve and off the critical point and we formulate conjectures about the behavior at criticality based on the analysis of a mean-field approximation of the model. Joint work with Alessandra Bianchi and Francesca Collet. Time: 14:15-15:15 Speaker: Tejas Iyer, WIAS Berlin Title: CONDENSATION IN PREFERENTIAL ATTACHMENT TREES WITH NEIGHBOURHOOD INFLUENCE Abstract: Motivated by the structure of complex networks such as the internet, we consider a growing model of preferential attachment trees with neighbourhood influence, where vertices arrive one at a time, are equipped with independent weights, and connect to existing vertices with probability proportional to their fitness function: a function of their own weight and the weights of their neighbours. In this model we prove almost sure limiting statements for the proportion of vertices with a given degree having weight belonging to a given measurable set, and the proportion of edges in the tree with endpoint belonging to a measurable set. We show that under certain conditions, the latter quantity demonstrates a condensation phenomenon, in which a positive proportion of edges in the network accumulate among those of weight that confers maximal reinforcement of fitness. Finally, we derive almost sure limiting statements for the log of the degree of a fixed vertex in this model, and prove that in this model the degree distribution behaves like a power law - a ubiquitous feature of many real-world complex networks. According to the current regulations to prevent the spread of Coronavirus the Green pass is mandatory to access the venue and contact tracing will be done.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Vittoria Silvestri (Roma, La Sapienza)
by Marco Formentin 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar  that will take place on November 26 at 14.30, at the Department of Mathematics “Tullio Levi-Civita”, University of Padova. The seminar may also be attended online via the Zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Università di Roma La Sapienza)  Title: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models  NOVEMBER 26 (Friday) - 14:30 In presence: room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, Via Trieste 63, Padova Online: Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88496035657 (meeting ID 884 9603 5657) , available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will discuss shape theorems and fluctuations of ALE clusters, which include Hastings-Levitov clusters as particular cases, in the subcritical regime. Based on joint work with James Norris (Cambridge) and Amanda Turner (Lancaster). On behalf of the organizers, Marco Formentin

Si avvisa che in data 25-11-2021, alle ore 14:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Federico Ferraccioli, Università degli Studi di Padova Titolo: Eigen sign-flip test for semiparametric regression Sommario: In this seminar, a nonparametric test for semiparametric penalized regression models is presented. The test is based on random sign-flipping of an appropriate transformation of the vector of residuals, that exploits a spectral decomposition of the residualizing matrix associated with the nonparametric part of the model. The formulation allows for a wide applicability of the test to a vast class of extensively used semiparametric regression models, including for instance models based on univariate or multivariate splines. The good asymptotic properties of the proposed test are discussed, together with its good control of the Type I error and power, even in challenging data scenarios.

These estimators interpolate the data and the scale can be shown to control their stability to noise and sampling. Larger scales, corresponding to smoother functions, improve stability with respect to sampling. However, smaller scales, corresponding to more complex functions, improve stability to noise. We will discuss to which extent these results can explain the learning curves observed for large overparameterized models. Our analysis combines, probabilistic results with analytic techniques from interpolation theory. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/236nC7S6NrVwHzEm8 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82967941062?pwd=RGpFUmY2YzdLS2VyMnJTeCt5ODFVZz09> Meeting ID: 829 6794 1062 Passcode: 846274 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

11 Nov '21

Seminario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo" Sapienza Università di Roma Aula del Consiglio 16 novembre 2021, ore 14 Gérard Letac Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse, Université Paul Sabatier Title: Duality of exponential families and large deviations Abstract: Two positive measures on the real line with exponential moments are duals if the derivatives of their log-Laplace transforms are inverse to each other. We link this property with real exponential families and large deviations. We compute the duals of many classical exponential families when they exist, like Tweedie, Morris, Mora families, and a family on the integers generated by the dilogarithm distribution. We extend the definition and the calculations to multivariate exponential families like Wishart and the simple quadratic families of Muriel Casalis.

by Carlo Orrieri 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: Luca Scarpa (Politecnico di Milano) Title: Variational methods for doubly nonlinear stochastic evolution equations. Abstract: We give an overview of some recent results for doubly nonlinear stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces. In the first part of the talk we introduce the prototypes of the problems in consideration and we discuss the main existence results.Secondly, we provide alternative proofs of existence which rely on convex minimisation techniques, such as the Weighted-Energy-Dissipation (WED) and the Energy-Dissipation principles (EDP). Eventually, we discuss some current open problems, focusing above all on the direction of uniqueness-by-noise for doubly nonlinear evolutions. The works presented in the talk are based on joint collaborations with Prof. Ulisse Stefanelli (University of Vienna, Austria). Date and time: Monday November 15, 14:30-15:30 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula Seminari - III piano (third floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 – 20133 Milano - Ed. 14 “Nave” Campus Bonardi. (Accesso pedonale da: Via A.M. Ampère, 2 - Milano, Via E. Bonardi, 9 - Milano, Via G. Ponzio, 31 - Milano).

Webinar Insubria and Bicocca - November Tuesday 16 at 17:00 - Zachary Feinstein - Set-Valued Risk Measures as BS$\Delta$Es
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Dear all, On November Tuesday 16 at 17:00, Zachary Feinstein (Stevens Institute of Technology) will give a virtual seminar “in Insubria & Bicocca”, to which you are all invited. Title and abstract below. Title: Set-Valued Risk Measures as BS$\Delta$Es Abstract: Scalar dynamic risk measures for univariate positions in continuous time are commonly represented as backward stochastic differential equations. In the multivariate setting, dynamic risk measures have been defined and studied as families of set-valued functionals in the recent literature. There are two possible extensions of scalar backward stochastic differential equations for the set-valued framework: (1) backward stochastic differential inclusions, which evaluate the risk dynamics on the selectors of acceptable capital allocations; or (2) set-valued backward stochastic differential equations, which evaluate the risk dynamics on the full set of acceptable capital allocations as a singular object. In this talk, we will investigate the discrete time setting with difference inclusions and difference equations in order to provide insights for such differential representations for set-valued dynamic risk measures in continuous time.. The seminar will be on Zoom. You can find the information to join below. Topic: Zachary Feinstein - Set-Valued Risk Measures as BS$\Delta$Es Time: Nov 16, 2021 17:00 PM Rome Where: Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/92990672101?pwd=TTY3SGtpVHlOdE9adEhKcGV1MzJnUT09 ID riunione: 929 9067 2101 Passcode: 85asGb After the talk, you are all invited to remain in the meeting for an informal aperitif and chat. Please forward to anyone interested.

Seminar by L. Campi in Verona (Virtual + In Person)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Prof. Luciano Campi (University of Milan) will give a talk at the Department of Economics. Date: 9 November 12:00 CET. Title: "Mean field games with absorption and common noise with a model of bank run" If you would like to attend via Zoom, please register at the following link, we will send you the details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYCdJt0zbw3PiKRhISABA-iwjZYYT-2qB… Abstract: We consider a mean field game describing the limit of a stochastic differential game of $N$-players whose state dynamics are subject to idiosyncratic and common noise and that can be absorbed when they hit a prescribed region of the state space. We provide a general result for the existence of weak mean field equilibria which, due to the absorption and the common noise, are given by random flow of sub-probabilities. We first use a fixed point argument to find solutions to the mean field problem in a reduced setting resulting from a discretization procedure and then we prove convergence of such equilibria to the desired solution. We exploit these ideas also to construct $\varepsilon$-Nash equilibria for the $N$-player game. Since the approximation is two-fold, one given by the mean field limit and one given by the discretization, some suitable convergence results are needed. We also introduce and discuss a novel model of bank run that can be studied within this framework.This talk is based on a joint paper with Matteo Burzoni (University of Milan). -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Luisa Andreis talk at the Torino seminar series in Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics
by Giuseppe D'Onofrio 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

Dear all, We are glad to announce the second seminar of the *Torino seminar series in Stochastics and Mathematical Statistics. * Torino seminar series SMS is a monthly seminar series held at the Department of Mathematics G. Peano of the University of Turin. For more info and a list of future talks see https://sites.google.com/view/torinostochastics. *Date and time:** Tuesday 9 November*, 2021, h 14:30-15:30 *Location*: Aula 5, Palazzo Campana, via Carlo Alberto 10, Torino *Speaker*: *Luisa ANDREIS *(University of Florence) *Title*: Phase transition in sparse random graphs and coagulation processes. *Abstract**:* Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdős–Rényi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are present independently according to the type of the vertices that they 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 Erdős–Rényi model. In this talk we will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes some coagulation process and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is an ongoing joint work with Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Robert Patterson (WIAS). Best regards, The organizers (Tiziano De Angelis, Giuseppe D'Onofrio, Elena Issoglio)

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Arnone
by Laura Maria Sangalli 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Si avvisa che in data 04-11-2021, alle ore 14:00 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Eleonora Arnone, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano Titolo: Density estimation over complicated domains Sommario: In this talk, a nonparametric method for density estimation over complicated spatial domains is presented. The method combines a likelihood approach with a regularization based on a differential operator, and the estimator is proven to be consistent. The discretization of the estimator is based on finite elements, ensuring high computational efficiency and enabling great flexibility. The proposed method efficiently deals with data scattered over two-dimensional regions having complicated shapes, two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, or planar networks. Moreover, it captures very well complicated signals having multiple modes with different directions and intensities of anisotropy.

Webinar Ryder @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 4 November 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Robin Ryder (Université Paris Dauphine) Title: Bayesian methods for inferring the history of languages Abstract: Languages change through time in a manner comparable to biological evolution. Models have been developed for many aspects of human languages, including vocabulary, syntax and phonology. The complexity of these models, as well as the nature of the questions of interest, make the Bayesian framework quite natural in this setting, which explains why much of the research in Statistics applied to Historical Linguistics uses Bayesian methods. I shall present an overview of various models, starting with Morris Swadesh's failed attempts at glottochronology in the 1950s, then looking at some models developed in the last two decades. I shall go into more detail for a model of so-called "core" lexical data by a stochastic process on a phylogenetic tree, with an initial focus on the Sino-Tibetan family of languages and on the issue of dating the most recent common ancestor to these languages. This will allow me to discuss issues of model robustness and validation. I shall conclude with some ongoing work about joint estimation of lexical and phonological changes through a model of random discrete matrices, currently being applied to the history of sign languages. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/97798499552?pwd=U3o1NXBVZnA2Vm12RjZHLzl4SXd… Meeting ID: 977 9849 9552 Passcode: 564168 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

[PRISMA] seminari di G. Peccati e F. Grotto + altre informazioni
by Domenico Marinucci 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Cari colleghi lunedì 8 novembre 2021 riprenderanno i seminari online del Gruppo UMI PRISMA, con i seguenti interventi: * November 8, 2021, 16:00-17:00 (CET): Giovanni Peccati TITLE: Quantitative stabilization results on the Poisson space [1] ABSTRACT: Consider a random variable associated with a random point configuration generated by a Poisson point process (for instance, is the length of some random geometric graph). How can we assess the discrepancy between the distribution of and the one of a Gaussian random variable? The aim of my talk is to describe some recent results in this direction, all relying on some quantitative version of the notion of "geometric stabilization", as formalized by Penrose & Yukich in 2001. In doing so, I will sketch the general philosophy of a powerful collection of techniques for establishing probabilistic approximations, known as the "Malliavin-Stein method". Some explicit examples will be discussed, in particular, related to models of combinatorial optimization and random forests. * November 8, 2021, 17:00-18:00 (CET): Francesco Grotto TITLE: Completely Random Measures and 2D Euler's Equations [1] ABSTRACT: We will recall generalities on completely random measures -alias independently scattered measures- and their natural interaction with divergence-less flows on the underlying domain. We will then proceed to argue how these random fields thus constitute invariant measures for 2d incompressible Euler's equations, outline how a notion of solution to the latter nonlinear dynamics can be given in this setting by means of stochastic integrals, and discuss both rigorous results and open problems relating to the well-posedness of this measure-preserving system.

Virtual Seminar by M. Grigorova (Leeds)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Dr. Miryana Grigorova (University of Leeds) will give a talk organized by the Department of Economics - University of Verona Date: 3 November 12:00 CET. Title: "Superhedging of options in a non-linear incomplete financial market model” Abstract: We will study the superhedging price (and superhedging strategies) of European and American options in a non-linear incomplete market model with default, with a particular focus on the American options case which is more involved. We will provide a dual representation of the seller’s (superhedging) price for the American option in terms of a mixed stochastic control/stopping problem with non-linear expectations/ evaluations, and in terms of non-linear Reflected BSDEs with constraints. If time permits, we will also present a duality result for the buyer’s price in terms of a stochastic game of control and stopping with non-linear expectations/ evaluations. The talk is based on joint works with Marie-Claire Quenez and Agnès Sulem. If you would like to attend via Zoom, please register at the following link, we will send you the details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScVu88XwBhoF9O3xmbKwUxv0JN2URNT3Ki… -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Altrimenti, se sarà principalmente esperto/a in altre aree della matematica applicata, sarà possibile scegliere un altro qualsiasi docente del Dipartimento, che assumerà le funzioni di principale collaboratore/trice del/la futuro/a vincitore/trice della procedura di selezione. Cordiali saluti, Michele Salvi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Titolo del progetto di ricerca "New Computational Challenges in Applied Mathematics" Descrizione sintetica della ricerca In the last decades, the fast increase of the computational resources opened the possibility to tackle new fascinating problems in mathematics. This recent development is concerning both the hardware and the software. From one hand, the total computational power has been enormously increased by codes that can be efficiently parallelized on GPGPU cards and/or in multi-core environments. On the other hand, in computer science new paradigms have shown their effectiveness: e.g., machine learning has been applied in several different contexts. The candidates are expected to be able to autonomously develop a high-level research with computational applications in at least one field of the following (non-exhaustive) list: dynamical systems, simulations in ODEs/PDEs, high-dimensional statistical analysis. The transfer of knowledge will be strongly encouraged also with exposure to activities of (active and passive) training.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2021 14:27:29 +0200 From: grassell(a)math.unipd.it To: vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it Subject: Annuncio Seminario Johannes Ruf Caro Tiziano potresti estendere alla tua lista l'annuncio del seguente seminario please ? Verr? tenuto in presenza con possibilit? di seguirlo via zoom. Grazie mille Martino --------------------------------- On Tuesday Nov 2 at 11am the Math Department of the University of Padua is pleased to host a seminar given by Prof. Johannes Ruf (LSE University, London). Here below the relevant details: WHEN: November 2, at 11:00am WHERE: Room 2BC30 at 2nd floor of the Math Department "Tullio Levi-Civita", via Trieste 63, Padua ZOOM link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83202006980 (without password) SPEAKER: Johannes Ruf TITLE: The Growth-Optimal Portfolio in Fund Models ABSTRACT: This study concerns the estimation of the growth-optimal portfolio. The growth-optimal portfolio, or the numeraire portfolio, maximises the expected logarithmic growth rate and plays a fundamental role in portfolio choice and asset pricing. Efficient estimates of the growth-optimal portfolio under the CAPM and multi-fund models are derived. The accuracy of estimation is greater, the larger the variances of the returns. A measure of investors' economic loss caused by information loss due to missing data or unavailable observations is provided. In particular, the economic loss is larger, the larger the investment universe or the factors affecting asset returns. The estimate has a Bayesian interpretation. A shrinkage method targets maximal growth with the least amount of deviation of the growth rates.

(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Carina Geldhauser
by Mario Maurelli 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the first *hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming -* talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: *Carina Geldhauser* (Lund University) Title: *Discrete models for atmospheric turbulence* Abstract: In this talk we discuss a family of discrete models for atmospheric turbulence, often called point vortex models. Point vortices provide an approximation of solutions to generalized surface quasi-geostrophic models, a family of fractional PDEs which interpolate between 2D Euler equations and the more irregular SQG equation. We state some of its basic properties and see how variational methods and tools from probability theory together can help us to obtain more information about turbulence phenomena. The content of this talk is based on work in collaboration with Marco Romito (Uni Pisa), the presentation tries to avoid technicalities and to be accessible to a mixed audience. Date and time: *Monday October 25, 14:30-15:30 (Rome time zone)*, mind the change with respect to previous talks Place: *Sala di Rappresentanza (ground floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Milano, via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano* *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5772228296 This 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. For more information see the dedicated webpage: https://paviamilanoseminars.wordpress.com/ Participation is free and welcome! The number of participants in person is limited, but we expect the limit not to be reached. However we advise people who are not from Milan or Pavia to write to us if they want to participate in person. Participants in person need to have the "green pass" or the EU digital covid certificate; a scanner will measure body temperature at the entrance of the building. Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Webinar Crimaldi @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

We announce the following DEC Statistics webinar at Bocconi: Date: Thursday 21 October 2021, h12:00 (Italy time) Speaker: Irene Crimaldi (IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca) Title: Interacting Reinforced Stochastic Processes Abstract: Randomly evolving systems composed by elements which interact among each other have always been of great interest in several scientific fields. We will present some studies about models of interacting stochastic processes with reinforcement. Generally speaking, by reinforcement in a stochastic dynamics we mean any mechanism for which the probability that a given event occurs has an increasing dependence on the number of times the same event occurred in the past. In particular, we will focus on the asymptotic synchronization phenomenon that could be roughly defined as the tendency of different components to adopt a common behavior. Moreover, we will deal with the relationship between the topology of the interaction network and the long-time synchronization. Indeed, the obtained results lead to the construction of asymptotic confidence intervals for the common limit random variable and of statistical tests to make inference on the topology of the network. Finally, we will discuss the question when, even if interaction among agents is present, absence of synchronization may happen. The webinar will be on zoom at: https://unibocconi-it.zoom.us/j/93329709153?pwd=TnZyNmV5QWZ1YjdHOHhEK2VZTmp… Meeting ID: 933 2970 9153 Passcode: 417065 Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella

Seminar in Padova by Andrea Pallavicini, save the date (29 Oct. 2021)!
by Giorgia Callegaro 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

Dear all, it's a pleasure to announce the following seminar by Andrea Pallavicini, which will be **in presence and online**. Details are as follows: - *Title*: Chebyshev Greeks: Smoothing Gamma without Bias - *Date*: October 29, 2021 at 14:30 - *In presence*: Room 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Padova) - *Online (Zoom):* the link will be available from the day before at this address https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ - *Abstract*: The computation of Greeks is a fundamental task for risk managing of financial instruments. The standard approach to their numerical evaluation is via finite differences. Most exotic derivatives are priced via Monte Carlo simulation: in these cases, it is hard to find a fast and accurate approximation of Greeks, mainly because of the need of a tradeoff between bias and variance. Recent improvements in Greeks computation, such as Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation, are unfortunately uneffective on second order Greeks (such as Gamma), which are plagued by the most significant instabilities, so that a viable alternative to standard finite differences is still lacking. We apply Chebyshev interpolation techniques to the computation of spot Greeks, showing how to improve the stability of finite difference Greeks of arbitrary order, in a simple and general way. The increased performance of the proposed technique is analyzed for a number of real payoffs commonly traded by financial institutions. See you soon in Padova, thanks, Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Associate Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Borse di Dottorato in Modeling and Data Science XXXVII CICLO (PON RICERCA E INNOVAZIONE) - Università degli Studi di Torino
by Elvira Di Nardo 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Vi segnalo il BANDO DI CONCORSO PUBBLICO PER 6 BORSE DI DOTTORATO SU TEMATICHE “GREEN” E “INNOVAZIONE” PON RICERCA E INNOVAZIONE 2014-2020 (D.M. 1061/2021) XXXVII CICLO. nell'ambito del Dottorato in Modeling and Data Science <https://dottorato-mds.campusnet.unito.it/do/home.pl> (Università di Torino) *Deadline per la domanda: 28 ottobre 2021 ore 23.59 * Con preghiera di diffusione a potenziali interessati, vi segnalo - in particolare - i seguenti progetti: Titolo: *Sviluppo di un sistema di monitoraggio energetico aziendale * (MAT/06) Referente Scientifico: *Cristina Zucca <https://dipmath.campusnet.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?cristina.zucca#tab-p…> * Tematica: Il risparmio energetico e l'utilizzo di energie rinnovabili giocano un ruolo fondamentale nella ricerca di uno sviluppo aziendale sostenibile. Questo richiede che, da una parte le aziende si organizzino per l'utilizzo di energia rinnovabile e dall'altro individuino metodi di produzione volti al risparmio energetico. La multinazionale Agilent nella sede torinese si sta muovendo su entrambi questi fronti. Questo progetto di dottorato è in parte finanziato da Agilent ed è rivolto a un ripensamento dei processi produttivi introducendo il vincolo di minimizzare il consumo energetico. Occorre individuare i processi a maggior consumo energetico e studiare come ridurre i consumi o come ottimizzare i tempi di richiesta di energia, evitando momenti di picco energetico. Il progetto partirà dall’analisi statistica di dati esistenti a cui verranno affiancati i dati provenienti da nuovi sensori opportunamente collocati. Il target finale sarà la costruzione di modelli matematici predittivi del consumo energetico dei singoli macchinari e delle linee di produzione. Tali modelli serviranno a ridurre i consumi e ottimizzare la richiesta energetica. Background di fisica e matematica (master in matematica, fisica o ingegneria). Conoscenza del calcolo delle probabilità e della statistica (processi stocastici e serie storiche). Lingua inglese. Titolo: *Analisi di big data relativi alle risorse idriche sotterranee *(SECS-S/01; INF 01) Referente Scientifico: Stefano Ferraris <https://www.dist.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?stefano.ferraris#tab-profilo> Tematica: La prevenzione di eventi critici come la siccità agricola e potabile richiede un uso estensivo di dati di monitoraggio ambientale. Oggi è disponibile una quantità impressionante di dati e una varietà di strumenti statistici e informatici che possono essere applicati per lo studio di tali big data. Per il Piemonte disponiamo di informazioni nello spazio e nel tempo. Tali dati comprendono più di vent'anni di livello di acque sotterranee, portate fluviali, dati meteorologici di ARPA Piemonte e dati satellitari. Unendo modelli matematici specifici e un approccio di machine learning si prevede di valutare quantitativamente le risorse idriche disponibili in un contesto di cambiamento climatico. Inoltre, l'utilizzo di tali risultati suggerirà azioni di prevenzione al fine di limitare i rischi idrogeologici legati ai cambiamenti climatici. Background di fisica e matematica (master in matematica, fisica o ingegneria). Lingua inglese. Titolo: *Modellazione del bilancio idrico di bacini idrografici piemontesi * (SECS-S/01; INF 01) Referente Scientifico: Stefano Ferraris <https://www.dist.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?stefano.ferraris#tab-profilo> Tematica: Le inondazioni sono importanti conseguenze del cambiamento climatico e la prevenzione di tali eventi catastrofici è diventata un compito primario. L'attuale disponibilità di big data è un aiuto importante per lo sviluppo di modelli realistici o per l'utilizzo di metodi di machine learning. I modelli matematici possono quindi consentire di prevedere possibili rischi e suggerire interventi sul territorio quando ci si concentra su singoli bacini idrografici. Il progetto di dottorato mira a utilizzare i dati di monitoraggio ambientale disponibili per la prevenzione di eventi critici come alluvioni in aree specifiche del Piemonte. Oltre all'utilizzo dei dati disponibili nello spazio e nel tempo, la ricerca comprenderà lo sviluppo di una metodologia a scala di bacino (area di ordine 100 km2). Tale scala è importante per una corretta gestione del territorio e lo sviluppo di modalità adeguate di organizzazione dei dati acquisiti saranno uno degli obiettivi del progetto, con particolare riferimento al bacino della Regione Piemonte. L'utilizzo delle informazioni estratte dai dati consentirà di sviluppare la seconda parte della ricerca, che prevede lo sviluppo di modelli. Il funzionamento idrologico e idraulico di un bacino idrografico in Piemonte sarà studiato attraverso metodi statistici nel dominio del tempo o della frequenza, nonché con metodi di apprendimento automatico e approccio fisico. Particolare enfasi sarà dedicata all'analisi delle piene a scala di bacino con la simulazione di eventi piovosi potenzialmente critici, con e senza l'adozione di tecniche di mitigazione/prevenzione. I risultati, dopo essere stati implementati in WebGIS, consentiranno un'applicazione diretta da parte di decisori, amministratori locali e personale tecnico anche in altri bacini dell'arco alpino. Background di fisica e matematica (master in matematica, fisica o ingegneria). Lingua inglese. Titolo: *Monitoraggio delle portate fognarie come strumento di supporto nello sviluppo di strategie gestionali atte alla mitigazione dell'impatto dei cambiamenti climatici * (SECS-S/01; INF 01) Referente Scientifico: Rosa Meo <https://www.matematica.unito.it/do/docenti.pl/Alias?rosa.meo#tab-profilo> Tematica: Il cambiamento climatico provoca grandi esondazioni e la caduta improvvisa di enormi quantità d'acqua che provocano danni ingenti quali allagamenti superficiali se non ben indirizzate. Le reti fognarie di molte zone italiane sono vetuste e con condotti insufficienti a garantire il deflusso di grandi quantità d'acqua. Per affrontare questa criticità si propone la soluzione di studiare un modello di piano fognario e i possibili interventi per migliorarlo con l'azienda (BrianzAcque) che affianca il Gestore del servizio idrico. Con l'espletamento delle attività legate agli step di progetto, che prevedono la messa a punto di modelli predittivi, e i possibili interventi di correzione alla rete, si otterrà un “piano fognario integrato" che permette una visione globale, individua gli interventi di correzione, le priorità e il costo, utili ai fini della pianificazione degli interventi. Il dottorand* deve avere competenze di analisi dati, Data Mining o Machine Learning, per la creazione di modelli predittivi delle serie storiche, preferibilmente con conoscenza e background di processi stocastici. La conoscenza della lingua Inglese (lettura e scrittura) è indispensabile.
