Seminario ANCHISI (RGS & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 26 Gennaio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula Dottorato (primo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "A Bayesian model of pain perception and its modulation" Davide ANCHISI, Dipartimento di Scienze Mediche e Biologiche, Università di Udine Abstract: While pain and pain modulation are most studied at the molecular and circuitry level, little is known about the logic and computational strategies underlying them. In the talk I'll describe a probabilistic model of pain inspired by those developed mainly in research on vision. The model can account for pain perception and for phenomena related to pain such as the placebo effect or the modulation of pain due to emotions, motivation and context. Moreover, the model makes novel predictions, confirmed by experimental findings. I will also discuss the relevance of a theoretical model not only in fitting the data and making new predictions but also for it's power to unveil what the nociceptive system is pursuing and why the modulation of pain occurs as it does (e.g. why there is a placebo effect) ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/. ------------------------------- Giacomo Aletti, Associate Professor ADAMSS Centre (ex MIRIAM) Advanced Applied Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Department of Mathematics (www.matematica.unimi.it) Via Saldini, 50 20133 Milano, Italy

SUMMER SCHOOL ON COPULAS: change of dates
by Gianfausto Salvadori 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Dear Colleagues, all interested people (especially PhD and Post-doc students) are kindly invited to attend the following INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON COPULAS. *** PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS MAIL TO ALL INTERESTED PEOPLE. THANKS. *** For infos, feel free to contact "gianfausto.salvadori(a)unisalento.it" _________________________________________________________________ SUMMER SCHOOL ON COPULAS FOR HYDROLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour Pau, France, July 6-10, 2015 The Instructors are top scientists in the fields of Copulas and Environmental Applications. The international event is organized by the INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON STATISTICAL HYDROLOGY. For all participants, attendance certificates will be provided. *** SCOPE *** The statistical modeling of natural events frequently involves the modeling of the joint distribution of several random phenomena. Copulas are mathematical objects that are particularly suitable for modeling the multivariate dependence between several continuous random variables, independently of their marginal distributions. This explains why they are more and more often used in hydrology and environmental sciences. With the development of powerful statistical software (such as the R statistical system), a multivariate analysis based on copulas appears increasingly feasible. This one-week short course will focus on the theory and statistical practice of copulas with applications to hydrological problems and related environmental issues. It will also contain an introduction to multivariate extreme-value theory from a copula perspective. Theoretical concepts will be illustrated through the analysis of real-world datasets using the R statistical system. *** VENUE *** Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour.

Seminario SALOMOND

**************************************************************** STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO **************************************************************** Venerdi' 23 Gennaio 2015 alle ore 12:00, presso la sala rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Jean-Bernard SALOMOND (CWI, Netherlands) BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRIC TESTING FOR EMBEDDED HYPOTHESES WITH APPLICATION TO SHAPE CONSTRAINS Abstract: If Bayesian nonparametric methods have received a great interest in the literature, only a few is known for testing nonparametric hypotheses, and especially the asymptotic properties of such tests. The problem of testing between two nonparametric hypotheses is known to be difficult, but the problem becomes even harder when the hypotheses are embedded. In this work, we propose a method to circumvent these difficulties with a special focus on shape constrains testing. We propose an approach that allows us to derive a Bayesian answer to testing problems that has good asymptotic properties and that are easy to use in practice. Furthermore, from our method, we can easily derive posterior separation rate of the tests which to our best knowledge has not been studied in the Bayesian literature so far. We apply our approach to several testing problems with a special attention to the problems of testing for positivity or monotonicity in a nonparametric regression problem. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Review and Open Issues* ** We will present the so called * fundamental review of trading book *(FRTB) a new market risk approach published by the Basel commitee directive (i.e. papers 265 and 305). Such an approach implies that banking institutions have to move from the standard Value at Risk (VaR, quantile based) approach to the Expected Shortfall (ES, average over the tail) methodology as a measure of risk. The theoretical differences are well known, but some implementaion issues are very challenging for the banking industry, such as the backtesting procedures. In the seminar after a thoretical revew some practical cases will be discussed.
