*************************************************************************** 5th STATALK @ Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padua, 17 Nov 2017 **************************************************************************** Dear all, this is a reminder that the fifth edition of the StaTalk series will be held at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padua, on November, 17, 2017. All the information, including the updated program and abstracts of the presentations, can be found at the workshop page statalk.stat.unipd.it Deadline for registration: 12th November 2017. StaTalks are one-day workshops on statistical topics during which the hosting group introduces and overviews the main research interests of their members. Aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as at post-docs and young researchers, StaTalks are intended to be informal gatherings which allow for a more proficient interaction between presenters and participants. They typically feature some introductory tutorials on the main workshop theme and a few seminars that overview more advanced research topics, still kept at an expository level. StaTalks are thus a great opportunity to become acquainted with the workshop main topic, as well as to share and update one's knowledge on the interface of Statistical research in an easy and informal atmosphere. Registrations, as in the past StaTalk events, is free of charge but mandatory. Best regards, The Organising Committee --------------------------------------------------------- Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova.

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario L. Finos
by Laura M. Sangalli 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Si avvisa che in data 07-11-2017, alle ore 15:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Livio Finos, Università degli Studi di Padova Titolo: Robust testing of generalized linear models by sign-flipping score contributions Sommario: We consider the problem of testing a generalized linear model (GLM) with possibly misspecified distribution. In this case, the traditional tests lose their good properties, since the Fisher information is estimated under incorrect assumptions. Here we present a testing approach that is based on random sign-flipping of score contributions, while not requiring any estimate of the Fisher information. As long as the link function is correct and under mild assumptions, our method is robust (i.e. asymptotically exact, consist) against several types of model misspecification, such as overdispersion, heteroscedasticity and, in some cases, ignored nuisance parameters. Among the other features, the methods extends easily to the multivariate (and multiple testing) framework, since it deals efficiently with the dependence of univariate tests without the need of estimating it. Some application to real data is shown and discussed. Based on joint work with Jesse Hemerik and Jelle Goeman Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Avviso di seminario, Università di Trento "Regularization by noise for transport and kinetic equations" Martedì 31 ottobre 2017 *Luogo:* Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Aula Seminari "-1" *Ore*: 11.00 - *Relatore: *Ennio Fedrizzi (Applied Mathematical Department, ENSTA ParisTech) *Abstract: *For some differential equations the addition of a carefully chosen, random noise term can produce a regularising effect (e.g. solutions are more regular, or restored uniqueness). I will first mention a few easy examples (ODEs) to introduce some of these regularising mechanisms, then detail two cases where we have regularisation for a PDE: the linear transport equation and a kinetic equation with force term. I will present some classical results for these two equations, related to well-posedness and regularity of solutions, that in the stochastic setting can be obtained under weaker hypothesis. These results are based on a careful analysis of the stochastic characteristics and the regularising properties of some associated parabolic/elliptic PDE. If time allows, I will conclude by introducing a new strategy of proof based on stochastic exponentials and an associated parabolic PDE, which allows to obtain, under even weaker hypothesis, well-posedness for stochastic PDEs in a class of solutions which are only regular in mean. This will be illustrated by an application to the transport equation. *Referente: *Stefano Bonaccorsi
