14 Feb '19

[Apologizes for cross-posting] Dear all, I’d like to draw your attention to the course CSAMA 2019 in Brixen/Bressanone - Statistical Data Analysis for Genome-Scale Biology (http://www-huber.embl.de/csama2019/ <http://www-huber.embl.de/csama2019/>). The one-week intensive course Statistical Data Analysis for Genome-Scale Biology teaches statistical and computational analysis of multi-omics studies in biology and biomedicine. It covers the underlying theory and state of the art (the morning lectures) and practical hands-on exercises based on the R / Bioconductor environment (the afternoon labs). At the end of the course, you should be able to run analysis workflows on your own (multi-)omic data, adapt and combine different tools, and make informed and scientifically sound choices about analysis strategies. The course is intended for researchers who have basic familiarity with the experimental technologies and their applications in biology, and who are interested in making the step from a user of bioinformatics software towards adapting or developing their own analysis workflows. If you have colleagues that you think might benefit, please let them know about the course. Thank you! Kind regards Stefano M. Iacus ----------------------------------- Prof. Stefano M.

Seminario di Paolo Pigato a Bologna

13 Feb '19

Statistics Seminars 2019 Giovedì 28 febbraio 2019 ore 16 Aula seminari - Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, I piano "Density and tube estimates for diffusion processes under Hormander-type conditions" Dr. Paolo Pigato, Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlino Abstract:"We recall some classic results on the regularity of solutions of stochastic differential equations. Then we consider two specific diffusion processes satisfying hypoellipticity conditions of Hormander type. Using Malliavin Calculus techniques recently developed to deal with degenerate problems, we find estimates for the density of the law of the solution, which we use to prove exponential bounds for the probability that the diffusion remains in a small tube, around a deterministic path, up to a given time. We then present some work in progress on asymptotic sharp estimates for the density and its derivatives for a similar, higher dimensional system."

de Finetti risk seminar - February 2019
by Emanuela Rosazza 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Jocelyne Bion-Nadal Ecole Polytechnique, Paris Title: Fully-Dynamic risk-indifference pricing Abstract: We propose a dynamic risk-indifference pricing evaluation derived from a fully-dynamic risk- measure on Lp-spaces. The concept of fully-dynamic risk-measures offers the possibility of changing the risk perspectives over time. It ts well the study of both short and long term investments. Dynamic risk-indifference pricing is an alternative to utility-indifference pricing. In the case p = +infinity, we prove that risk indifference pricing provides a proper convex price system. On the contrary, for p < infinity, it turns out that the domain of the risk-indifference pricing operator is not the whole Lp(Ft), not even a vector space. Therefore we propose a new framework. We prove Fatou property and time-consistency and we obtain a represen- tation result. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, February 20, at 18.00, Aula Chisini, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano.

seminario a Pavia - 19 febbraio 2019
by benedetta.ferrario 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

ANNUNCIO di SEMINARIO Martedì 19 febbraio 2019 la prof. Hakima Bessaih (Wyoming) terrà un seminario presso l'aula Beltrami del Dipartimento di Matematica - Pavia; inizio previsto per le ore 14:00 precise. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. *Title*: Numerical schemes for the 2d Stochastic Navier-Stokes equations: Strong rate of convergence. *Abstract*: We consider a time discretization scheme of Euler type for the 2d stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the torus. We prove a mean square rate of convergence. This refines previous results established with a rate of convergence in probability only. Using exponential moment estimates of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and a convergence of a localized scheme, we can prove strong convergence of fully implicit and semi-implicit time Euler discretization and also a splitting scheme. The speed of convergence depends on the diffusion coefficient and the viscosity parameter.

Seminari prof. Popovici a Varese
by Moretto Enrico 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

con la presente chiedo che vengano diffusi mediante la lista random gli avvisi relativi a tre seminari che il prof. Nicolae Popovici (Department of Mathematics - Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science - Babes-Bolyai University – Cluj-Napoca, Romania) terrà presso il Dipartimento di Economia dell'Insubria. Si allegano anche le locandine. Grazie mille cordiali saluti enrico moretto *** Seminar announcement: Nicolae Popovici on a general local-global extremality principle in vector optimization On February 13th, 2019, 15.00-16.00, Prof. Nicolae Popovici (Department of Mathematics - Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science - Babes-Bolyai University – Cluj-Napoca, Romania) will give a talk on “A general local-global extremality principle in vector optimization” (joint with Ovidiu Bagdasar, University of Derby, UK) Abstract It is known that any local minimal point of a semistrictly quasiconvex real-valued function is a global minimal point; also, any local maximal point of an explicitly quasiconvex real-valued function is a global minimal point, provided that it belongs to the intrinsic core of the function's domain. We have shown that these local min - global min and local max - global min type properties can be extended and unified by a general local-global extremality principle for generalized convex vector-valued functions with respect to two proper subsets of the outcome space. Keywords: unified vector optimization; generalize convex functions. Seminar announcement: Nicolae Popovici on new algorithms for solving discrete vector optimization problems On February 14th, 2019, 15.00-16.00, Prof. Nicolae Popovici (Department of Mathematics - Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science - Babes-Bolyai University – Cluj-Napoca, Romania) will give a talk on “New algorithms for solving discrete vector optimization problems” (joint with Christian Guenther, Martin-Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany) Abstract We present some new Graef-Younes type algorithms for solving discrete vector optimization problems. In order to determine all minimal elements of a finite set with respect to an ordering cone, the original approach proposed by Jahn in 2006 (known as the Jahn-Graef-Younes method) consists of a forward iteration (Graef-Younes method), followed by a backward iteration. Our methods involve additional sorting procedures based on scalar cone-monotone functions. Keywords: discrete vector optimization; cone-monotone scalarization functions. Seminar announcement: Nicolae Popovici on a new algorithm for solving planar multiobjective location problems involving the Manhattan norm On February 15th, 2019, 11.00-12.00, Prof. Nicolae Popovici (Department of Mathematics - Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science - Babes-Bolyai University – Cluj-Napoca, Romania) will give a talk on “New algorithms for solving discrete vector optimization problems” (joint with Shabagh Alzorba, Christian Guenther and Christiane Tammer, Martin-Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany) Abstract We study unconstrained planar multiobjective location problems, where distances between points are defined by means of the Manhattan norm. By eliminating the nonessential objectives we develop an effective algorithm for generating the whole set of efficient solutions as the union of a special family of rectangles and line segments. Keywords: location problems; Fermat-Weber type problems; Matlab algorithms.

*Scientists, get out there!* The BIGMATH kickoff workshop Milano, March 11, 2019 http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/bigmath-kickoff-workshop/ This is the opening workshop of the MSCA-ITN-EID project BIGMATH, an EU funded international and industrial PhD programme ( http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it) The workshop is divided into two parts: during the morning session the BIGMATH Programme will be illustrated, the companies partners of the programme will illustrate the Big Data challenges that they are posing to mathematicians, and the recruited PhD students will introduce themselves to the audience. The afternoon session will be devoted to promote good practices of scientific dissemination and public engagement, since this is one of the major challenges that our society and the EU is asking to scientists of any area of study. The talks of the afternoon session will then be addressed to a general public of scientists, working in any scientific field, or people working in the academic world, who would like to undertake the adventure of communicating their daily research in an effective way. The participation to both sessions is free of charge, but for organising reasons, we ask to participants *to register by February 28. * For further information please visit the web page http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/bigmath-kickoff-workshop/ -- ------------------------------------ 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 http://users.mat.unimi.it/users/michel <http://www.mat.unimi.it/users/michel>

ISIPTA 2019: one month until paper submission closes
by Serena Doria 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

Our first call for papers teasingly stated that "There's more to uncertainty than probabilities" and set out to convince you that ISIPTA 2019 is a good place for discussing such matters. If you did not receive our first call, or are still undecided about submitting a paper or a poster, then let the features below convince you. We would like to highlight the paper submission deadline (1 March), the availability of grants for attendees with limited funding, and the announcement of our three keynote speakers: Thomas Dietterich, Vladimir Vovk and Aharon Ben-Tal. Basic info: ISIPTA 2019 is the 20-year anniversary edition of the world's main forum on imprecise probabilities. It takes place in Ghent, Belgium, from 3 to 6 July 2019. All details are available at http://isipta2019.ugent.be. Scope: The ISIPTA conferences are devoted to robustness and imprecision in uncertainty modelling, inference and decision making, focusing in particular on uncertainty frameworks that extend or replace the probabilistic one. Invited speakers: ISIPTA 2019 will feature keynote talks by Thomas Dietterich, Vladimir Vovk and Aharon Ben-Tal, respectively on robust AI, game-theoretic probability and robust optimization, and how these relate to imprecise probabilities. Additionally, on the occasion of ISIPTA's 20-year anniversary, four former presidents of the Society for Imprecise Probability will give invited talks on topics close to their hearts. Concept: Each accepted contribution is presented and discussed, in two separate sessions. Presentations are short and always plenary. Detailed explanations and discussions are face-to-face, typically with the aid of a poster, a flipchart, or some other medium of your choice. Atmosphere: ISIPTA conferences are characterised by a friendly and cooperative style, a strong emphasis on in-depth discussion and openness to new ideas. We hope that you too will enjoy and contribute to this unique atmosphere. Venue: Ghent has been called "Belgium's best kept secret" by the Lonely Planet travel guide and a "medieval masterpiece" by The Guardian. The conference itself takes place in an old Augustinian monastery, situated in its historic city centre. Social programme: In order to blow off the accumulated academic steam, the programme also features several social activities, such as an opening reception at the town hall, a guided boat trip along the city centre canals, and a conference dinner with regional specialties, including some of our excellent Belgian beers. Types of contributions: We accept long papers, short papers and poster abstracts. Papers are published in a volume of PMLR, unless explicitly preferred otherwise by their authors. In order to give you some leeway, we have moved the paper submission deadline back by two weeks: the final and hard deadline is the 1st of March. Poster abstracts, however, can be submitted until a couple of weeks before the conference, but will not appear in PMLR. Grants: For researchers who would like to attend ISIPTA 2019, but are unable to do so due to budget constraints, we now have grants available to cover (part of) the costs. Preference will be given to PhD students, but the grants are also open to more senior researchers. Information on how to apply is available on our website. We look forward to receiving your contribution and to seeing you in Ghent. The ISIPTA 2019 Steering Committee and PC board F. Cozman (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) J. De Bock (Ghent University, Belgium) G. de Cooman (Ghent University, Belgium) C. de Campos (Utrecht University, The Netherlands) E. Quaeghebeur (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) T.

Ricevo ed inoltro... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dieter Mitsche <dmitsche(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jan 30, 2019 at 3:44 PM Subject: Re: Nice Summer School on random walks and random graphs To: Elisabetta Candellero <elisabetta.candellero(a)gmail.com> "Nice Summer School on random walks and random graphs " The Nice Summer School on Markov chains, random walks, random graphs and its applications to complex networks will be held in Nice (France) from July 8-19, 2019. One of the two courses focusses on different models of random graphs (model G(n,p), configuration model, preferential attachment model, random graph processes, ...) together with techniques in these models (switching techniques, differential equation method,...), whereas the other course will focus on concepts and techniques related to random walks and Markov chains (mixing times, hitting times, random spanning trees, cutoff phenomena, ...). The school is aimed at advanced master students, PhD students, or researchers in an early stage of their career working in the broad field of discrete probability and its applications. Further details can be found at: https://math.unice.fr/~dmitsche/Summerschool/Summerschool.html Being a popular summer holiday destination, lodging in Nice in summer is expensive. However, the school is supported by different sponsors: Universite Cote d'Azur, UCA Academie 1, Universite Nice, google, PIMS. Registration fees (including 2-week stay in a single bedroom close to the university, lunches and coffee breaks during lecture days): 400 Euro. Discounts for people without need for lodging. However, the number of participants being limited, we might have to make a selection. If you want to participate, send an email to dmitsche(a)gmail.com. Attach a CV as well as a short motivation letter for your participation. *Deadline for registration: May 1, 2019*. You will be informed shortly afterwards whether your application was successful. Best regards, Dieter Mitsche
