Dear all,
I'm pleased to invite you to the Seminar in Statistics, which will be
held on Tuesday, September 23 at 12:00 in Meeting Room 1 by:
Stefano Favaro (University of Torino - Collegio Carlo Alberto),
Quasi-Bayes empirical Bayes: a sequential approach to the Poisson
compound decision problem (Joint work with Sandra Fortini, Bocconi
University)
Abstract: The Poisson compound decision problem is a long-standing
problem in statistics, where empirical Bayes methodologies are
commonly used to estimate Poisson's means in static or batch domains.
In this paper, we study the Poisson compound decision problem in a
streaming or online domain. Adopting a quasi-Bayesian approach, often
referred to as Newton’s algorithm, we obtain a sequential Poisson's
mean estimate that is easy to evaluate, computationally efficient, and
maintain a constant per-observation computational cost as data
accumulate. Asymptotic frequentist guarantees of this estimate are
established, showing consistency and asymptotic optimality, where the
latter is understood as vanishing excess Bayes risk or regret. We
demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology through empirical
analysis on synthetic and real data, with comparisons to existing
parametric and nonparametric approaches.

seminario:
''_Humbert generalized fractional differenced processes_''
Abstract: We use the generating functions of the Humbert polynomials to
define two types of Humbert generalized fractional differenced ARMA
processes. We present stationarity and invertibility conditions for the
introduced models. The singularities for the spectral densities of the
introduced models are investigated. In particular, Pincherle ARMA,
Horadam ARMA and Horadam-Pethe ARMA processes are studied. It is shown
that the Pincherle ARMA process has seasonable long memory property.
Additionally, we employ the Whittle quasi-likelihood technique to
estimate the parameters of the introduced processes. Through this
estimation method, we attain results regarding the consistency and
normality of the parameter estimators. We also conduct a comprehensive
simulation study to validate the performance of the estimation technique
for Pincherle ARMA process. Moreover, we apply the Pincherle ARMA
process to real-world data, specifically to Spain's 10 years treasury
bond yield data, to demonstrate its practical utility in capturing and
forecasting market dynamics.
These are joint results with Niharika Bhootna, Monika Singh Dhull and

Dear colleagues,
I am glad to advertise that next Tuesday, September 9th, at 11h
Nadia Oudjane (Electricité de France, Paris, EDF) will give a talk
Mathematical tools to manage distributed flexibilities in power systems.
in Aula Vitali, Dipartimento di Matematica in Piazza di Porta San Donato 5 in Bologna and on-line
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NzA3NGMzN2EtODcyMC00…
Abstract: With the massive integration of renewable energies (photovoltaic (PV) and wind power) into the power grid, new uncertainties are impacting the power balance. At the same time, advances in « smart » technologies and batteries offer new flexibilities with the possibility of controlling the consumption of a large number of electrical appliances (electric vehicle recharging, heat pumps, etc.). In this framework, a major technical challenge is to optimize the management of this large number of heterogeneous flexibilities distributed across the network to help in balancing the system. This constitutes a large scale optimization problem under uncertainties, which can benefit from mean-field approximations.

24th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
C.r.e.d.i.t. 2025
*Emerging Global Financial Systems:
Exploring Polarization, Systemic Risks, Innovation, and Sustainable
Solutions *
Venice, Italy
25 – 26 September 2025
*GRETA Associati*(Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European
Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany), and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan,
Italy) are partners in organising a Conference to be held in Venice on
September 25-26, 2025.
The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2025 conference will bring together academics,
practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and
socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for
participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as
industry-relevant insights and directions for future research.
The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2025 is the *twenty-fourth* in a series of events
dedicated to various aspects of risk and organised under the auspices
of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA *- *Venice centre in
Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies* - of the *Ca’ Foscari
University of Venice, Joint Research Center European Commission*, *ABI -
Italian Banking Association*, and*Venice Sustainability Foundation*.
Sustainability necessitates a global perspective, requiring the
adaptation of contemporary business and societal models to navigate the
dynamic landscape of the future. Policymakers and society must ensure
that resources, particularly technology, are utilized responsibly and
efficiently to enhance the well-being of both present and future
generations while cultivating a harmonious relationship with the
environment. This strategy is vital in addressing sustainability issues
such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution, and inequality.
Effective global risk management is vital for bridging divisions and
fragmentation through innovation.

Dear colleagues,
I am glad to advertise the following minicourse intended for young researchers, PhD and Master students:
LECTURER:
Prof. Dr. W.T.F. den Hollander, Leiden University (The Netherlands), and visiting professor from this year both at NETWORKS Research Unit, IMT Lucca as well as at DIMAI , University of Florence.
MINICOURSE TITLE:
Interacting Particle Systems on Random Graphs
LOCATION:
IMT School of Advanced Studies Lucca,
Piazza San Francesco 19, 55100 Lucca (Italy)
PERIOD:
21-23/10/2025
ABSTRACT:
The goal of this mini course is to sketch what is known and not known about interacting particle systems on random graphs, highlight the role of sparse versus dense graphs, exhibit the relevant time scales for critical phenomena and identify how these depend on the size of the graph, list some open problems and indicate some lines of future research. After reviewing the generic properties of interacting particle systems on regular lattices, specific models on two classes of random graphs will be considered: Configuration Models and Erdos-Renyi random graphs. The course is organized in three lectures:
- Lecture 1. Background and motivation for Interacting Particle Systems on d-dimensional lattices. Phase transitions and critical phenomena. Key questions and core tools.
- Lecture 2. Stochastic Ising Model.
- Lecture 3. Voter Model & Contact Process.
