There is a possibility to work under the supervision of Pierre-Yves LOUIS http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/ around the topic: Stochastic dynamics for large networks Stochastic models are nowadays of main interest in several applicative fields: ecology, population biology, wildfire, social networks. More individual specificities of constituting entities (sites) can be considered. A global macroscopic state emerges from the sites’ interaction. These individually-based models are following the micro/macro description workflow defining the statistical mechanics scientific field. A large, possibly infinite, number of sites is considered. These interacting dynamical systems motivate theoretical, numerical and applied challenges. These systems of stochastic processes may be used also to sample from random fields on complicated structures as the one considered in biology. Monte-Carlo methods are used to solve related statistical questions. The PhD thesis will consider one of the following topics which are strongly related to complex systems in computer science, statistical physics and computational biology. The PhD candidate has the opportunity to choose between the following challenging projects: - Interacting Stochastic Dynamics on trees - Stochastic algorithms, Gibbs sampling - Application of stochastic methods to data classification ======================== Application deadline: 31 March 2015 through http://s2i.ed.univ-poitiers.fr/dv_demarrer_une_these/recrutement-demarrer-u… AND please contact Pierre-Yves Louis as soon as possible Please send one pdf with your resume, and possibly a list of taken courses with grades, a copy of your master thesis and at least two names as references to pierre-yves.louis(a)math.cnrs.fr ======================== For more details please see the pdf-file http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/proposition_sujet_these_2015_LOUIS_fr.pdf and for the application procedure to http://s2i.ed.univ-poitiers.fr/dv_demarrer_une_these/recrutement-demarrer-u… ======================== Requirements You have an MSc in mathematics, with a proven interest in probability theory and statistics.

Seminario di Probabilita' - Universita' di Padova
by alessandra bianchi 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Ho il piacere di invitarvi ai seguenti seminari, che si terranno giovedì 12 Febbraio, dalle ore 14:30, nell'aula 2BC30 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Padova. 14.30 -15.30 Giuseppe Canizzaro (Technical University of Berlin) TITLE: SDEs with distributional drift and Polymer measure ABSTRACT: We study existence and uniqueness of solution for stochastic differential equations with distributional drift by giving a meaning to the Strook-Varadhan martingale problem associated to such equations. The approach we exploit is the one of paracontrolled distributions recently introduced by Gubinelli, Imkeller and Perkowski in their by now celebrated paper "paracontrolled distributions and singular PDEs". As a result, we make sense of the two and three dimensional polymer measure and show some of its properties. 15.30-16.30 Alberto Chiarini (Technical University of Berlin) TITLE: (Local) CLT for symmetric Diffusions in a degenerate Random Environment. ABSTRACT: We study a symmetric diffusion $X$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in divergence form in a stationary and ergodic environment, with measurable unbounded and degenerate coefficients. The diffusion is formally associated with $L^\omega u = \nabla\cdot(a^\omega\nabla u)$. We prove for $X$ a quenched (local) central limit theorem, under some moment conditions on the environment; the key tools are the sublinearity of the corrector and a parabolic Harnack's inequality both obtained using the celebrated Moser's iteration technique. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Pura e Applicata Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Seminario REPETTO (RGS & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '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 9 Febbraio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Aqueous humour flow in the presence of intraocular lenses" Rodolfo REPETTO, Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Genoa Abstract: Lens placement in the anterior chamber is an increasingly popular method of correcting vision. The lens has a diameter slightly larger than the pupil aperture, and it is placed centrally and just anterior to the iris. The use intraocular lenses is generally very effective and has proven to have good long term clinical outcomes. However, the presence of the lens can lead to possible undesired side effects, including a reduction in endothelial cell density onthe inner corneal surface, which reduces corneal nourishing. Another possible problem is an increase in the resistance to fluid flow between the posterior and anterior chambers of the eye. Aqueous humour is required to flow between these chambers and if the resistance increases sufficiently then pupillary block could occur, meaning the pressure in the posterior chamber increases, which could result in angle closure glaucoma. If the risk is thought to be high the niridotomy is typically used, in which a hole is created in the iris in order to allow flow to by pass the pupil aperture, creating an alternative low-resistance pathway for the aqueous humour. As well as the flow described above, other effects can lead to flow in the anterior chamber. Firstly, there is a temperature gradient between the inner corneal surface and the iris and lens, depending on the difference between atmospheric and body temperature. Combined with gravitational effects, this leads to a buoyancy-driven flow. Secondly, the eye performs saccades, and rotational saccades lead to accelerations and hence flow. In addition, other movements, such as lens movement during accommodation, rubbing the eye, and accidental impacts will lead to flow. In this presentation we show results from a model of flow due to pressure gradient, thermal and saccadic effects in the posterior and anterior chambers in an eye, both with and without the artificial lens in place. We adopt both an analytical approach based on the use of the lubrication theory and a fully numerical model to assess the wall shear stress on the corneal surface, the pressure drop between the posterior and anterior chambers, with the aim of understanding how the positioning of the lens affects these quantities. In the second part of the talk some open issues concerning the fluid mechanics of the eye will also be presented and briefly commented upon. ================= 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 Tel: +39-02-503.16158 Fax:+39-02-503.16090 Cell: +39-340-9739142

In order to know how the cellular structure or the tissue organisation impacts the final properties, adequate quantitative methods are required. We will present several methodological developments in the quantification of the microstructure of plant products from digital images acquired at different scales. For quantifying the 3D cellular structure of cells observed at microscopic scales, a stereological approach was developed, involving local discretization of geometric features from 3D binary images using Minkowski functionals formalism, and an estimation at the scale of the organ based on the Horvitz-Thomspon principle. Image texture analysis from mathematical morphology can be used to quantify cellular structure from grey-level macroscopy images. At a larger scale, the spatial organisation of tissues within the organ was described based on tools from spatial statistics. At each quantification scale, the question of the integration of image collection is adressed through the computation of statistical cartographies of the cellular morphology. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

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
by Matteo Ruggiero 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

**************************************************************** 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. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto http://sites.carloalberto.org/ruggiero
