Seminar Victor M. Panaretos @Luiss
by Alessia Caponera 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Victor M. Panaretos, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) *Title*: *Distributional Regression and Autoregression via Mass Transportation* *When*: February 6th, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: We present a framework for performing regression when both covariate and response are probability distributions. Our framework is based on the theory of mass transportation and links the conditional Fréchet mean of the response to the covariate via an optimal transport map. In the simplest context of distributions on the real line, we show how one can define and compute a Fréchet least squares estimator of the regression map, which attains the minimax convergence rate under minimal assumptions. We also discuss possible extensions to higher dimensional laws and to autoregressive settings, and how these seem to require additional smoothness conditions for consistent estimation. Based on joint work with Laya Ghodrati. *Webpage*: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/distributional-regressio… *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

Seminario a Roma il 05/02/2025
by Pietro Caputo 21 Jan '25

21 Jan '25

Mercoledì *5 febbraio *alle ore *14.30, *Simone Baldassarri (Mathematical Institute Leiden University) terrà il seminario dal titolo “*Opinion dynamics on dense dynamic random graphs*”. Abstract: Describing the evolution of dynamic networks together with dynamic processes running on them constitutes a major challenge in network science. Despite considerable efforts in past years, and notable progress on an intuitive and approximative level, our mathematical understanding of such systems is still in its infancy. The focus of this talk will be two-opinion voter models on dense dynamic random graphs. The goal is to understand and describe the occurrence of consensus versus polarisation over long periods of time. The former means that all vertices have the same opinion, the latter means that the vertices split into two communities with different opinions and few disagreeing edges. We consider three models for the joint dynamics of opinions and graphs: one with one-way feedback and two with two-way feedback. In the first model only coexistence is attainable, meaning that both opinions survive, but with the presence of many disagreeing edges. In the second model only consensus prevails, while in the third model polarisation is possible. Key results cover functional laws of large numbers for the densities of the two opinions, functional laws of large numbers for the dynamic random graphs in the space of graphons, and a characterisation of the limiting densities in terms of Beta-distributions. Il seminario avrà luogo in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre Aula B in Via della Vasca Navale 84, 00146 Roma -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo Tel +39 3460830076

The ABS school SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY, June 3-6, 2025, Genova, Italy
by Elisa Varini 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

We are pleased to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics summer school - ABS25 will be held from 3 to 6 June 2025 in the beautiful historic city of Genova, overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Italy. The school is organized by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova. The topic will be SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY The lecturer will be Prof. ALEXANDRA SCHMIDT (McGill University, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, Canada), with the support of Dr. CARLO ZACCARDI (University G. d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economics, Italy). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/ REGISTRATION is now open, but payments will be possible (by credit card and, possibly, by bank transfer) starting from about mid-February 2025. If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs25(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: This course aims to explore the interface between environmental epidemiology (EE) and spatio-temporal modelling (ST). The aim of EE is to understand the adverse health effects of environmental hazards and to estimate the risks associated with those hazards. Such risks have traditionally been assessed either over time at a fixed point in space or over space at a fixed point in time. ST modelling characterizes the distribution of those hazards and associated risks over both geographical locations and time. Understanding variation and exploiting dependencies over both space and time greatly increases the power to assess those relationships. The course will cover a wide range of topics from an introduction to spatio-temporal and epidemiological principles along with the foundations of ST modeling, with specific focus on their application, to new directions for research. Topics to be covered: - Types of epidemiological studies: cohort, case–control, ecological. - Measures of risk: relative risks, odds ratios, absolute risk, sources of bias, assessing uncertainty. - Bayesian statistics and computational techniques: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). - Regression models in epidemiology: Logistic and Poisson generalized linear models, hierarchical models. - Dynamic linear models, temporal autocorrelation. - Spatial models: area and point referenced methods, mapping, geostatistical methods, spatial regression. - Spatial-temporal models: separable models, non-separable models, modelling exposures in space and time.

Chapman and Hall/CRC. https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003352655 We hope you will be interested in the school, and we would like to meet you in Genova. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS25

Seminario Padova - Orphée Collin
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (24 Gennaio) in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Orphée Collin (LPSM Paris) Title: Two-dimensional simple random walk conditioned on avoiding 0 and two-dimendional random interlacements Date: January 24, 2025, at 14:30, room 2AB40 Abstract: In this talk, I will present joint works with Francis Comets and Serguei Popov. How can one condition the two-dimensional simple random walk (2D-SRW), which is well known to be recurrent, on not hitting the origin ? This question will be answered by defining rigorously the 2D-SRW conditioned to avoid the origin. I will then discuss some of its surprising properties and present results concerning its speed of escape towards infinity. I will also present the random interlacements model build upon the conditioned 2D-SRW, which was introduced by the aforementioned coauthors (together with Marina Vachkovskaia) in 2015. I will discuss some properties of this model : FKG inequality, 0-1 law, phase transition and behavior at criticality. During the talk, I will also evoke the continuous counterparts of these processes, namely : the two-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned to avoid the unit ball and the two-dimensional random interlacements. If time allows, I will mention some results on the Brownian random interlacements. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

QFinLab Seminar - Adrien Mathieu (Oxford University) - 27/1/2025, 16:00 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 16 Jan '25

16 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Monday, 27 January 2025, 16.00-17.00 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Adrien Mathieu (Oxford University) Title: Market Making with fads, Informed and Uninformed traders. Abstract: We characterize the solutions to a continuous-time optimal liquidity provision problem in a market populated by informed and uninformed traders. In our model, the asset price exhibits fads -- these are short-term deviations from the fundamental value of the asset. Conditional on the value of the fad, we model how informed traders and uninformed traders arrive in the market. The market maker knows of the two groups of traders but only observes the anonymous order arrivals. We study both the complete information and the partial information versions of the control problem faced by the market maker. In such frameworks, we characterize the value of information, and we find the price of liquidity as a function of the proportion of informed traders in the market. Lastly, for the partial information setup, we explore how to go beyond the Kalman-Bucy filter to extract information about the fad from the market arrivals. Next seminar: Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), 19 February 12:15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

OWABI - Paul Bürkner - January 30
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Dear all, the next One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…> is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday, the 30th January at 11am UK time. Our next speaker is Paul Bürkner<https://paulbuerkner.com/> (TU Dortmund University), who will talk about "Amortized Mixture and Multilevel Models" with an abstract reported below. Abstract: Probabilistic mixture and multilevel models are central building blocks in Bayesian data analysis. However, they remain challenging to estimate and evaluate, especially when the involved likelihoods or priors are analytically intractable. Recent developments in generative deep learning and simulation-based inference have shown promising results in scaling up Bayesian inference through amortization. Against this background, we have developed specialized neural inference frameworks for estimating Bayesian mixture and multilevel models. The involved neural architectures are closely mirroring the probabilistic symmetries and conditional (in-)dependencies assumed by these models. This not only speeds up neural network training, but also enables amortized inference for new datasets of varying number of groups and sample sizes. Keywords: Amortized Bayesian Inference; Neural Posterior Estimation; Probabilistic Factorization This and all talks are hosted on the OWABI Ms Teams Channel, which is available here https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w….

SPASS Seminar: Rangel Baldasso
by Gianmarco Bet 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *The random Markov property for random walks in random environments* by *Rangel Baldasso* (*PUC-Rio*) The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.01.2025 at *14:00 CET* in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini", Università degli Studi di Firenze, and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: We consider random walks evolving in dynamic random environments and propose a criterion which, if satisfied, allows to decompose the random walk trajectory into i.i.d. increments, and ultimately to prove limit theorems. This criterion, dubbed the random Markov property, involves the construction of a random field built from the environment that has to satisfy a certain Markovian-like property along with some mixing estimates. We apply this criterion to correlated environments such as Boolean percolation and renewal chains featuring polynomial decay of correlations. Based on a joint work with Julien Allasia, Oriane Blondel, and Augusto Teixeira.*

Dear all, a kind reminder that the deadline for the abstract submission for contributed talks or poster at BioInference2025 (28th -30th May in Bardonecchia, a town in the Alps near Turin) is quickly approaching. If you are interested on mathematical modelling and statistical methods for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems, then please consider submitting an abstract here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxF-b-Q_TY0o0F8T_fRmgY6_SAC72w71O… by the 31st January 2025. More info are available on the website https://bioinference.github.io/2025/ and below. Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the BioInference2025 organising committee ------ BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, to foster discussions and prompt collaborations between the two communities across all career stages. After the previous three editions hosted in the UK, the BioInference 2025 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/) is now going abroad to Italy. This year’s BioInference conference will take place in Bardonecchia, a town in the Alps near Turin on the 28-30 May 2025. Differently from previous editions, this year's conference is going to be a residential 3-days event that will include more talks and networking opportunities compared to previous years. A hike activity will take place on the second day! The three-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work on mathematical modelling and/or statistical methods (either development or application) for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems. All presentations will be in-person with no-parallel sessions. The abstract can be submitted here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxF-b-Q_TY0o0F8T_fRmgY6_SAC72w71O… by the 31st January 2025.

PhD positions in Bielefeld
by Ferrari, Giorgio 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Dear Colleagues, we have the great pleasure to share information on new doctoral positions within the research training group (RTG) „Coping with Uncertainty in Dynamic Economies“. This research training group is sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for up to 9 years, with approximately one million euro per year. We have successfully hired a first cohort of students in 2023, and we are now looking forward to the second cohort. The positions are fully funded, at competitive levels (approx 43.000 Euro gross per year). The RTG is an initiative of ten principal investigators from the Center for Mathematical Economics and the Data Science Research Group at Bielefeld University. Next to the well established core program of our doctoral school BiGSEM (www.bigsem.de <http://www.bigsem.de/>), students will thus work in an excellent research environment on topics involving uncertainty in its various aspects and their consequences for dynamic economies. The research training group holds strong ties with top international researchers who will give specialized block courses and summer schools. As a highlight of our program, the Mercator fellow Jean-Marc Tallon from the Paris School of Economics is part of our research training group. He will serve as a contact person for possible research stays in Paris. Please share the exciting news with your talented master students and encourage them to apply! More information can be found at the inomics website (https://inomics.com/program/9-phd-positions-in-the-research-training-group-…) and at Bielefeld’s official announcement (https://uni-bielefeld.hr4you.org/job/view/3881/research-positions-in-the-re…). Best wishes, Giorgio Ferrari
