15 Jun '16

Ho il piacere di invitarvi al seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì 23 Giugno, alle 15:00, in aula 2AB40 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Padova. SPEAKER: Paolo Pigato AFFILIATION: INRIA Nancy-Grand Est TITLE: Statistical estimation of diffusion processes with discontinuous coefficients ABSTRACT: We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of the Oscillating Brownian Motion, a classical example of stochastic differential equation with discontinuous diffusion coefficient. We see how to construct this process as limit of Oscillating Random Walks, and consider the problem of statistical estimation of these discrete objects. We then study the convergence of some estimators for the parameters of the limiting process.

******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Mercoledi 22 Giugno 2016 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Steven SCOTT (Google) PREDICTING THE PRESENT WITH BAYESIAN STRUCTURAL TIME SERIES This article describes a system for short term forecasting based on an ensemble prediction that averages over different combinations of predictors. The system combines a structural time series model for the target series with regression component capturing the contributions of contemporaneous search query data. A spike-and-slab prior on the regression coefficients induces sparsity, dramatically reducing the size of the regression problem. Our system averages over potential contributions from a very large set of models and gives easily digested reports of which coefficients are likely to be important. We illustrate with applications to initial claims for unemployment benefits and to retail sales. Although our exposition focuses on using search engine data to forecast economic time series, the underlying statistical methods can be applied to more general short term forecasting with large numbers of contemporaneous predictors. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Si avvisa che in data 11/07/2016, alle ore 11:30 precise, presso Aula Seminari "Saleri" VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Luca Calatroni, Experienced Researcher Marie-Curie fellow, Camelot Biomedical systems, Genova and MIDA group, Università degli studi di Genova Titolo: Design and optimisation of non-smooth Imaging models via Partial Differential Equations Abstract: Variational methods and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) have been extensively employed for the mathematical formulation of a myriad of problems describing physical phenomena such as heat propagation, thermodynamic transformations and many more. In imaging, PDEs following variational principles are often considered. In their general form these models combine a regularisation and a data fitting term, balancing one against the other appropriately. Typically, Total variation (TV) regularisation is used due to its edge-preserving and smoothing properties. In this talk, we focus on the use of PDEs for the optimal design of several Imaging models. Starting from the use of higher-order and non-smooth variants of classical heat-type diffusion models often employed to counteract well-known TV reconstruction drawbacks (such as staircasing), we focus in particular on the use of non-smooth optimisation approaches with PDE constraints in the context of optimal parameter estimation for some non-standard image denoising problems. Finally, we consider some TV-based models recently reinterpreted in the framework of graphs and applied to some image segmentation problems. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Con preghiera di diffusione ai possibili interessati. Annuncio di Seminario, Martedì 21 Giugno, ore 12:30, Sala di Rappresentanza Dipartimento di Matematica (UniMi) Via C. Saldini 50 Milano Professoressa Marina Santacroce, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Torino Title: From classical to general utilities maximization: control techniques versus other approaches. Abstract: In this talk we discuss methods which give constructive characterizations of the optimal strategies for expected utility maximization problems in a continuous semimartingale setting. In particular, we focus on a method which seems to provide a valid alternative to dynamic programming and works for general utilities and, besides, displays a clear link with convex duality.

Seminario GOLDIN (RGS, ADAMSS, CIMAB & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

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, in collaborazione col centro ADAMSS e il CIMAB, il giorno venerdì 24 Giugno 2016, alle ore 17.00, nell'Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Neuronal Classification from Network Connectivity " Rebecca GOLDIN George Mason University Abstract The mammalian brain is a large network of neurons (~10^8 in rodents up to 10^11 in humans) sparsely interconnected by synapses (~10^4 per neuron). Most synapses are directional contacts between extensive tree-like structures, namely the axon of the output neuron and the dendrite of the input neuron. The ongoing assembly of complete maps of such circuits (“connectomes”) is crucial to understanding the brain structure-function relationship. Although the exact connectivity pattern of each neuron is unique, the common working assumption posits the existence of distinct “neuronal classes”, such that neurons in the same class share more similar connectivity patterns than neurons in different classes. A rigorous definition of this concept is still lacking, and even the order of magnitude of the number of neuronal classes is source of wide disagreement in neuroscience. Connectomic data may become available within the next decade for at least parts of nervous system in animal models, yet the mathematics to analyze these data is still underdeveloped. Indeed, that same mathematics should inform the data collection itself: Should we collect as much data from one animal as possible, or from as many animals as possible? Are more data with less precision better or worse than more precision with less data? We developed a class of probabilistic models that formalizes the concept of neuronal class based on network connectivity. Given a complete list of all neurons and their connections in a network, the model derives the number of neuronal classes, and an assignment of each neuron to a class. We fit the model using sparse singular value decomposition, and cluster the latent vectors into groups, and infer the neuronal classes. We tested the models on neurobiologically realistic simulated data, and found that our approach is robust and computationally tractable. We generated 50 graphs with 32,768 vertices each by stochastically assigning (secret) groups. One model consistently returned 100% correct class assignment, with 2% error in individual neural assignment, and reconstructed probability matrices well within the precision specified in the original probability matrix. This method provides a practical and theoretical foundation to bridge neuronal- and system-level neuroanatomy.

Ho il piacere di invitarvi al seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì 9 Giugno, alle 14:30, in Sala Riunioni del VII piano (accesso scale A e B) della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Padova. SPEAKER: Giuseppe Cannizzaro AFFILIATION: TU Berlin TITLE: Malliavin Calculus for Regularity Structures: the case of gPAM ABSTRACT: The theory of Regularity Structures allowed to solve a number of ill-posed stochastic partial differential equations. In this presentation, after recalling the main aspects of Hairer's work, we will show how it is possible to introduce Malliavin Calculus tools in this context in order to investigate probabilistic properties of the solutions to such equations. We will focus on one standard example of the theory, namely the generalized Parabolic Anderson Model (gPAM), and prove that its solution, when evaluated at a space-time point, admits a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

Aldo Procacci del Dipartimento di Matematica, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Brasile) terrà due seminari presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, pazza Porta S. Donato 5, 40126 Bologna. Ven. 10 Giu, ore 17:00 aula Seminari VIII Piano The Mayer series: two explicit expressions for its coefficients and the combinatorial problem. We derive the (formal) Mayer series of the pressure of a system of classical particles interacting via a pair potential from the standard grand canonical partition function. We give two alternative representations of its coefficients e we discuss the combinatorial problem involved towards the question of its convergence. We conclude the talk by giving a brief review on results obtained and methods proposed , since 1963, to face this combinatorial problem Lun 13 Giu, ore 15:00 aula Enriques Convergence of the Mayer and Virial expansions and the Penrose tree-graph identity We establish new lower bounds for the convergence radius of the Mayer series and the Virial series of a continuous particle system interacting via a stable and tempered pair potential. Our bounds considerably improve those given by Penrose and Ruelle in 1963 for the Mayer series and by Lebowitz and Penrose in 1964 for the Virial series. To get our results we exploit the tree-graph identity given by Penrose in 1967 using a new partition scheme based on minumum spanning trees. 5x1000 AI GIOVANI RICERCATORI DELL'UNIVERSITÀ DI BOLOGNA Codice Fiscale: 80007010376

Annual European Seminar on Bayesian Econometrics - Venice October 2016 - Call for papers
by Monica Billio 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

7^th ANNUAL EUROPEAN SEMINAR ON BAYESIAN ECONOMETRICS *ESOBE 2016* * *Venice, Italy 27 - 28 October 2016 The workshop is organised by the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice *(Venice, Italy), and is co-sponsored by the *European Central Bank *(Frankfurt) and *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy). The ESOBE meetings aim at bringing together researchers and professionals interested in the application of Bayesian inference. Ever since the pioneering work of Arnold Zellner, Bayesian econometrics has expanded enormously in areas such as economics, finance, business, and marketing. Empirical applications of Bayesian econometrics deal with issues such as financial time series analysis, risk management, economic growth analysis, measurement of policy effectiveness, individual decision making in marketing, labour market analysis, forecasting in monetary policy, just to name a few. The computational revolution in simulation techniques is a key ingredient in this expansion and allows the application of Bayesian methods to increasingly complex models and high-dimensional data environments. The ESOBE meetings are intended as a discussion forum for new and recent research methods that are capable to face these challenges. These techniques include, among others, semi-parametric modelling based on mixtures, shrinkage estimators, and variable selection methods. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: ·Bayesian financial econometrics ·Bayesian microeconometrics and program evaluation ·Bayesian nonparametric and semi-parametric methods based on countably infinite mixtures ·Shrinkage estimation and variable selection in high-dimensional data environments ·Computational methods for large datasets ·Efficient MCMC and SMC methods for complex models The keynote speakers of ESOBE 2016 are: ** *Christian P. Robert*(University Paris Dauphine and University of Warwick) *Thomas J. Sargent*(New York University) The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) *Fabio Canova*(BI Norwegian Business School) *Roberto Casarin *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) *Sylvia Frühwirth-Schnatter *(Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) *Sylvia Kaufmann *(Study Center Gerzensee) *Gary Koop *(Strathclyde Business School) *Francesco Ravazzolo *(Free University of Bozen/Bolzano) *Herman K. van Dijk *(Erasmus University Rotterdam and VU University Amsterdam) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. In addition to invited presentations, the workshop will have: * contributed sessions; * a special session by junior scientist presentations; * a poster presentations. We would welcome submissions for these sessions. Submissions for the contributed sessions should be sent to ** <mailto:esobe2016@unive.it>*esobe2016(a)unive.it <mailto:esobe2016@unive.it>*by*July 15, 2016*. Researchers who received their Ph.D. after *October 2013 *or *expect to graduate by November 2016*, may register as "junior scientist" (a detailed CV has to be submitted during registration). Junior scientists may apply for a travel award (more detailed information will be soon available). Papers submitted by junior scientists will be eligible for the Special Session of Junior Scientist Presentations. IMPORTANT DATES July 15, 2016: Papers submission deadline August 20, 2016: Paper acceptance notification September 30, 2016: Deadline for registration More detailed information available on the Conference website: <http://virgo.unive.it/esobe2016/index.htm>http://virgo.unive.it/esobe2016/index.htm <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2015/credit2015.htm> * Apologies for post-crossing.

Ricevo e inoltro il messaggio relativo a una borsa di dottorato. Gli interessati sono pregati di contattare Laurent Miclo entro il 6 giugno 2016 PhD opening Title: Study of the CSMA-QB access protocol Keywords: Convergence and long-time behavior of Markov processes, functional limit theorems, stochastic networks, independent sets Co-supervision: Laurent Miclo http://perso.math.univ-toulouse.fr/miclo/ Institut de Mathematiques de Toulouse, Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Florian Simatos http://personnel.isae.fr/florian-simatos/ Departement d’Ingenierie des Systemes Complexes, ISAE–Supaero, Toulouse, et Institut de Mathematiques de Toulouse, Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Contact: laurent.miclo(a)math.univ-toulouse.fr Localisation: ISAE–Supaero and Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse Summary of the project Context. The performance of wireless networks where users share the air as communication medium is strongly limited by the electromagnetic interference phenomenon: two users who are close and communicate on the same frequency will interfere, which may potentially lead to losing the information transmitted. Access protocols are here to mitigate this effect and thus play a key role in the performance of modern >From a scientific standpoint, this is a challenging problem that has attracted considerable attention from both the computer science and applied probability communities for more than 30 years. Recently, a new class of access protocols – called adaptive CSMA protocols – has emerged, and which seems very promising. These protocols were for instance shown to enjoy the very desirable property of being maximally stable. The goal of this project is to advance the state-of-the-art on the particular adaptive CSMA protocols called CSMA-QB protocols (where QB stands for Queue-Based), which to date is very limited. In particular, we will aim to prove theoretical results that shed light on the achievable trade-off between throughput and delay. Probabilistic model. From a technical standpoint, we will study the following model. Each user of the network is represented by the node of a graph G, called interference graph, and such that two neighboring nodes cannot be active simultaneously. Packets to be transmitted arrrive at each node over time, and the goal is to choose which nodes are active at every moment. CSMA-QB solves this problem in the following manner: when a node is active, it de-activates at a constant rate and when it is active and none of its neighbors is, then it activates at a rate that depends on the number of packets in its backlog. The dependency is given by a function ψ called activation function. The general goal of the thesis is to understand the influence of the topology G and of the choice of ψ on the protocol performance. This involves classical probabilistic tools, and we will in particular study the mixing time of Glauber dynamic as well as the stochastic averaging property, both of which play a key role in the analysis of this protocol.
