SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Giovedi 11 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Matteo Sesia* (University of Southern California) Title: *Testing for outliers with conformal p-values* Abstract: This talk discusses the construction of provably valid frequentist p-values for nonparametric outlier detection, taking a multiple-testing perspective. The goal is to test whether new independent samples belong to the same distribution as a reference data set or are outliers. We study a solution based on conformal inference, a broadly applicable framework which yields p-values that are marginally valid in finite samples but are mutually dependent for different test points. We prove these p-values are positively dependent and enable exact false discovery rate control, although in a relatively weak marginal sense. We then introduce a new method to compute p-values that are both valid conditionally on the training data and independent of each other for different test points; this paves the way to stronger type-I error guarantees. Finally, we discuss how to further boost power by leveraging a separate data set of known outliers with an approach inspired by weighted hypothesis testing. The practical relevance of our results is demonstrated by numerical experiments on real and simulated data. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88278987175?pwd=NXhNM3dYd1hrT0JMT2p1N2syU1J2dz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Webinar Prisma 8 maggio Beghin-Cammarota
by Claudia Ceci 06 May '23

06 May '23

Buongiorno a tutt* ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 8 maggio 2023* *ore 16-17 Luisa Beghin * *Title*: Non-local differential operators in probability *Abstract* The study of nonlocal differential operators is an active field of research in pure and applied mathematics and has been drawing increasing attention over the last few years. Fractional-order operators (i.e. integrals and derivatives of non-integer order) are maybe the most famous and studied in the literature. Their origin goes back to the end of the seventeenth century, but only recently they have been applied to a variety of fields ranging from biology to engineering, probability theory, physics, image processing among others. In this talk, we will concentrate our attention on the stochastic applications of non-local operators, in particular in the theory of anomalous diffusions and renewal processes. *ore 17-18 Valentina Cammarota* *Title*: On the Correlation of Critical Points and Angular Trispectrum for Random Spherical Harmonics. *Abstract* We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the Critical Points of Random Spherical Harmonics, in the High-Energy Limit. The result is a consequence of a deeper characterizations of the total number of critical points, which are shown to be asymptotically fully correlated with the sample trispectrum, i.e., the integral of the fourth Hermite polynomial evaluated on the eigenfunctions themselves. As a consequence, the total number of critical points and the nodal length are fully correlated for random spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit.

Seminario Veronica Berrocal presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 05 May '23

05 May '23

Si avvisa che in data 05-05-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX con il patrocinio di GRASPA https://graspa.org si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Veronica Berrocal, University of California, Irvine Titolo: Bayesian non-stationary spatial modeling via domain partitioning, with application to soil organic carbon Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) or the carbon found in soil’s organic matter is an important component in the Earth’s carbon cycle and can help mitigate the negative consequences of climate change. Because of its broad relevance to climate and agriculture, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommended that the spatial distribution of SOC be carefully monitored. Due to time and cost constraints, spatially-referenced measurements of SOC or “stocks”, e.g. the amount of SOC in a volume, are available only at limited locations. In this talk I will present two Bayesian non-stationary statistical models for SOC with the goal of understanding spatial variability and dependence in SOC for sampling and spatial prediction of SOC. Both approaches model SOC by assuming that the process is globally non-stationary but locally stationary with regions of stationarity identified using different strategies. In one approach, the regions are defined as partitions of the spatial domain where spatially-varying covariates are more homogeneous; in the other, the regions are defined as subsets of the spatial domain with varying strength of spatial dependence. I will show that inference and SOC predictions yielded by our models are valuable for sampling design and to decision makers, in that they can be used to better benchmark mechanistic models and identify targets for soil restoration projects.

05 May '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar, which will be held in person and online streaming: Speaker: Nicola Turchi (Università di Milano-Bicocca) Title: Comparing the min-max of two Gaussian random matrices (Abstract below) Date and Time: Thursday May 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula 24, Dip. di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Roma. link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09> ID riunione: 942 4880 8208 Passcode: 337504 Best regards, Anna Paola Todino ————————— Abstract: We compute quantitative bounds for measuring the discrepancy between the distribution of two min-max statistics involving either pairs of Gaussian random matrices, or one Gaussian and one Gaussian-subordinated random matrix. In the fully Gaussian setup, our approach allows us to recover quantitative versions of well-known inequalities by Gordon, thus generalising the quantitative version of the Sudakov-Fernique inequality deduced by Chatterjee. On the other hand, the Gaussian-subordinated case yields generalizations of estimates obtained in the framework of the CCK theory. As applications, we establish comparison bounds for order statistics of random vectors and fourth moment bounds for matrices of multiple stochastic Wiener-Itô integrals. Based on a joint work with G. Peccati. ——————————————————— Anna Paola Todino Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma

(PMS)^2 talk: J.-D. Deuschel [4 May] at UniMIB
by Maurizia Rossi 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: *Jean-Dominique Deuschel* (TU Berlin) *Title: *An isomorphism theorem for Ginzburg-Landau interface models and scaling limits. (See Abstract below.) *Date and Time:* Thursday May 4, 16:30-17:30 (Rome time zone). Place: *Aula 3014, Dip. di Matematica e Applicazioni, Univ. di Milano-Bicocca*, Via R. Cozzi 55, Milano. *Webex link:* https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=mc07da73e64ea2eb0da78975bc808… *Meeting number:* 2741 491 0178*Password: *HPxNQASR579 (47967277 for phones) %%%%%%%%%% *Abstract: *We introduce a natural measure on bi-infinite random walk trajectories evolving in a time-dependent environment driven by the Langevin dynamics associated with a gradient Gibbs measure with convex potential. We derive an identity relating the occupation times of the Poissonian cloud induced by this measure to the square of the corresponding gradient field, which - generically - is not Gaussian. In the quadratic case, we recover a well-known generalization of the second Ray-Knight theorem. We further determine the scaling limits of the various objects involved in dimension 3, which are seen to exhibit homogenization. In particular, we prove that the renormalized square of the gradient field converges under appropriate rescaling to the Wick-ordered square of a Gaussian free field on R^3 with suitable diffusion matrix, thus extending a celebrated result of Naddaf and Spencer regarding the scaling limit of the field itself. (Based on joint work with Pierre-François Rodriguez.) %%%%%%%%%%% This talk is part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.
