Oct 21 - Stats seminars Geneletti and Wrobleski @ Sapienza MEMOTEF
by Francesca Panero 29 Sep '25

29 Sep '25

Buongiorno a tutti, On Tuesday 21st of October at the MEMOTEF Department, Sapienza University, we will have the pleasure to listen to the seminars of Prof Sara Geneletti<https://www.lse.ac.uk/statistics/people/sara-geneletti> and the PhD student Trevor Wrobleski<https://trevorwrobleski.github.io/> from the Department of Statistics of the London School of Economics and Political Science. The seminars will take place 10-11am in Laboratorio Antonio Amato - Sala Corsi (on the third floor of Palazzina Presidenza, the staircase at the entrance of the Economics building, Via del Castro Laurenziano 9). You can find titles and abstracts below. Best wishes, Francesca Sara Geneletti Bayesian interrupted time-series models and their applications on welfare and mental health This talk is an overview of the research output of the Epitome project funded by the Wellcome Trust. The project involved 4 research streams, and we showcase results from each one of them. The main aims of this project were to a) understand the impact of Conservative government and their "austerity" policy which led to widespread cuts in social spending and b) to develop novel methodologies in the context of interrupted time series designs using Bayesian methods. Our project found that changes in welfare benefits had a detrimental effect on mental health which also had a spatial dimension, and that the impact of the "hostile environment policy", an anti-immigration policy on the mental health of African and Carribean communities was negative. We further extended the Bayesian Structural Time Series approach to accommodate multiple data points and confirmed the impact of the hostile environment policy using this alternative method. Finally, we developed a Cohort Markov Model to evaluate the impact of the welfare benefits change by looking at how it impacted different segments of the population. Trevor Wrobleski Robustness and Sensitivity in Bayesian Dose-Response Risk Assessment Bayesian methods are increasingly central to toxicological risk assessment, yet their application to sparse dose-response data presents unique challenges. This presentation examines three drivers of analytical robustness: (i) the choice of likelihood for overdispersed quantal data, (ii) the inferential impact of selective dose-group deletion, and (iii) the sensitivity of results to prior specification. Using simulations and a case study of antimony trioxide carcinogenicity, we quantify the impact of these choices on benchmark dose (BMD) estimates and the posterior distribution, using metrics like Mean Squared Error and symmetrized Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. Our findings show that modeling overdispersion with a Beta-Binomial likelihood is important for accurate uncertainty quantification. We also demonstrate that deleting informative mid-range dose groups can degrade precision and shift inference. Finally, for the Dichotomous Hill model, the prior on the Hill coefficient is the dominant lever on the BMD, capable of inducing multi-fold changes in the risk estimate. ------------------------------------------- Dr Francesca Panero (she/her) Assistant Professor in Statistics (RTT), Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance Sapienza University, Rome Visiting Fellow, Department of Statistics London School of Economics and Political Science Visiting Lecturer, Faculty of Informatics Università della Svizzera Italiana Website: https://francescapanero.github.io

Seminario on-line PRISMA lunedì 6 ottobre 2025 - C. Franceschini & F. Sau
by Sonia Mazzucchi 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Dallo scorso anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per *lunedì 6 ottobre* 2025. I relatori saranno *Chiara Franceschini* (Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia) e *Federico Sau* (Università di Milano Statale) che parleranno di: *Sistemi interagenti del non-equilibrio: dualità e gap spettrali* con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unitn.zoom.us/j/83547578084 ID riunione: 835 4757 8084 Codice d’accesso: 873866 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Chiara Franceschini (Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia) e Federico Sau (Università di Milano Statale) TITOLO: Sistemi interagenti del non-equilibrio: dualità e gap spettrali RIASSUNTO: In questo seminario verranno presentati alcuni modelli di sistemi interagenti con spin sia discreti che continui. Tra gli esempi principali figurano il modello di Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (1982) e il processo armonico recentemente introdotto. Quando questi modelli sono studiati su un reticolo unidimensionale in contatto con reservoir ai bordi, costituiscono un setting classico per l’analisi di fenomeni tipici della meccanica statistica fuori dall’equilibrio. Tutti i modelli considerati sono associati alla Lie algebra su(1,1) e condividono diverse caratteristiche strutturali, tra cui la proprietà di dualità. Nella prima parte del seminario introdurremo il concetto di dualità per i processi di Markov, illustrando come esso consenta di derivare limiti di scala macroscopici (come l’equazione idrodinamica e i principi di grandi deviazioni) e ottenere informazioni sulla misura stazionaria fuori dall’equilibrio, esplicitamente nota solo per alcuni casi specifici. Nella seconda parte prenderemo in esame modelli definiti anche su grafi arbitrari, focalizzandoci sullo studio del gap spettrale e sulla convergenza all’equilibrio.

QFinLab Seminar - Anna Maria Gambaro (Università del Piemonte Orientale) - 1/10/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 1 October 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Anna Maria Gambaro (Università del Piemonte Orientale) Title: Functional PCA for Risk-Neutral densities in Bayes Hilbert space. Abstract: In this work, we investigate the main drivers of risk-neutral densities of quoted stocks, using the functional principal component analysis (FPCA). To this end, we first construct a historical series of risk-neutral densities corresponding to quoted option prices with fixed time to maturity, using exponential expansions of orthogonal polynomials. Then, we apply the centered log-ratio transformation (CLRT) to the extracted densities and we perform the FPCA in the Bayes–Hilbert space. The CLRT provides an isometric isomorphism between the Bayes space of square log-integrable densities and the classical Hilbert space of square-integrable functions. As a result, the projected data onto the principal component basis correspond to the CLRT-transformed densities, and the application of the inverse CLRT yields proper density functions. Furthermore, by modeling the historical series of FPCA loadings as a stochastic process, we exploit the FPCA representation for forecasting purposes. Finally, we discuss extensions of this framework to cross-asset analyses and to the modeling of option price surfaces. This is a joint work with A. Amici e G. Fusai. Attendance is also possible online (Microsoft Teams), clicking here.<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YmFlY2M5OWEtYzg1OS00…> All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>.

De Finetti seminar: Huyên Pham and Stéphane Crépey, Sept. 24, 2025
by Alessandro Doldi 22 Sep '25

22 Sep '25

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lectures on September 24, 2025: Huyên Pham, Ecole Polytechnique (h. 16:00) and Stéphane Crépey, Université Paris Cité (h. 17:00) LOCATION The seminars will be held on September 24, 2025 starting at 16:00, Aula C20 (Via Colombo 62), Università degli Studi di Milano, Milano. TITLES AND ABSTRACTS Huyên Pham: Bridging Schrödinger and Bass for generative modeling We address the problem of generating a continuous semimartingale that interpolates prescribed initial and terminal distributions. This is formulated as an optimal transport problem that unifies the Schrödinger bridge and Bass martingale frameworks, enabling the construction of a diffusion process that simultaneously calibrates both drift and volatility to observed data. We derive an analytic characterization of the optimal diffusion’s dynamics, called Schrödinger bridge Bass (SBB) Diffusion, and show that it can be expressed as a stretched Brownian motion under an explicit change of measure. We then design a computational resolution of the SBB, offering an efficient framework for generative modeling in applications such as image synthesis and time series generation. Stéphane Crépey: Comparison of Tax and Cap-and-Trade Carbon Pricing Schemes Carbon pricing has become a central pillar of modern climate policy, with carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS) serving as the two dominant approaches. Although economic theory suggests these instruments are equivalent under idealized assumptions, their performance diverges in practice due to real-world market imperfections. A particularly less explored dimension of this divergence concerns the role of financial intermediaries in emissions trading markets. This paper develops a unified framework to compare the economic and environmental performance of tax- and market-based schemes, explicitly incorporating the involvement of intermediaries. By calibrating both instruments to deliver identical emissions reductions, we assess their economic performance across alternative market structures. Our results suggests that, although the two schemes are equivalent under perfect competition, the presence of intermediaries in ETS reduces regulatory revenues and the aggregate profits of financial actors relative to carbon taxation. These effects arise from intermediaries' influence on price formation and their appropriation of part of the revenue stream. The findings underscore the importance of accounting for intermediaries' behavior in the design of carbon markets and highlight the need for further empirical research on the evolving institutional structure of emissions trading systems.

Seminar Announcement at Sapienza University of Rome (Esmée Theewis)
by Antonio Agresti 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

Dear Colleagues, With this, I would like to advertise the following talk by Esmée Theewis (TU Delft), which will be held at the Math Department of Sapienza University of Rome in "Sala di Consiglio" at *16:00 *on* Monday, September 29th*. Kind regards, Antonio Agresti *Esmée Theewis* (TU Delft) *Title:* Large deviations for SPDEs *Abstract:* This talk is about large deviations for solutions to quasilinear SPDEs with small Gaussian noise. We consider a general variational framework for SPDEs. The large deviation principle (LDP) has been successfully proved for such frameworks by means of the so-called weak convergence approach, but rather strong assumptions must be made on the coefficients in the equation or on the Gelfand triple. In our recently obtained large deviation result, we do not require any additional assumption apart from those required for well-posedness of the equation. This leads to numerous applications for which the LDP was not established yet, such as equations on unbounded spatial domains with gradient noise. In particular, the result solves a long-standing open problem concerning 2D Navier-Stokes. Finally, a generalization of the LDP result will be discussed with a new fluid dynamics application. The talk is based on joint work with Mark Veraar and Antonio Agresti.

La Statistica al CNR al servizio del Paese - 2025
by ANTONELLA BODINI 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Care colleghe, cari colleghi, a ottobre si svolgerà, interamente online, la terza edizione del convegno La Statistica al CNR al servizio del Paese, dedicato agli studi condotti da ricercatori CNR a favore dello sviluppo tecnologico, economico, sociale e culturale del Paese, in cui la Statistica ha un ruolo di rilievo. Questa edizione è organizzata in due sessioni: * il 17 ottobre, dalle 10:00, si terrà la sessione per le scuole * il 20 ottobre, dalle 14:30, si terrà la sessione dedicata alla ricerca La sessione per le scuole si caratterizza per un taglio più divulgativo, ma certamente presenta temi di grande interesse come la necessità di preparare un buon protocollo di studio prima di qualunque ricerca che coinvolga soggetti umani; una spiegazione su base scientifica su come le società calcistiche riescano a ottenere risultati migliori sia dai singoli atleti sia dalle squadre nel loro complesso, accompagnata da una riflessione su come tali risultati si trasferiscano alla società in generale; i risultati di alcune survey condotte sugli adolescenti in tema di comportamenti sostenibili con riferimento al cambiamento climatico e di percezione del proprio futuro. La sessione per la ricerca considera diverse applicazioni degli algoritmi di IA (dal settore energetico, alla manutenzione, alla diagnostica per immagini), l’uso della statistica per analizzare e interpretare processi cognitivi complessi come la lettura, e l’importanza degli studi longitudinali nello studio della società. Entrambe le sessioni sono aperte a tutti gli interessati! Il programma integrale è disponibile al sito: https://stat-cnr.mi.imati.cnr.it/ La partecipazione è gratuita, previa registrazione (a uno o entrambi gli eventi) entro il 10 ottobre sul sito. Vi preghiamo di dare la più ampia diffusione all'iniziativa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antonella Bodini Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche "E.

Seminar at Sapienza University - N. Leonenko - 22/9/2025
by Luisa Beghin 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar at the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University. ——— *Speaker*: Nikolai Leonenko, Cardiff University (UK) *Title*: *Limit theorems for supCAR random fields* *When*: Monday, September 22, 10:00 *Where*: p.le A. Moro, 5, building CU002, room 24 (fourth floor) *Online: *at the following link <https://meet.google.com/fhc-xvdh-cgq> *Abstract*: The paper introduces a new class of random fields, supCAR fields, which are constructed as superpositions of continuous autoregressive random fields. These supCAR fields possess infinitely divisible marginal distributions. Their second-order properties are characterised by a novel family of covariance functions which can exhibit short- and long-range spatial dependencies. First, the existence of such fields is examined. Then, functional limit theorems for supCAR fields are derived under general assumptions. Four limiting scenarios that depend on the marginals of the underlying autoregressive fields and the specifications of the superposition are identified. Examples of specific supCAR fields, for which the assumptions and results are provided in simple, explicit forms, are presented. The obtained limit theorems can be employed for the statistical inference of supCAR fields. These are joint results with Illia Donhauzer <https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Donhauzer,+I> (Kyushu University, Japan) and Andriy Olenko <https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Olenko,+A> (La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia) ——— Best regards, Luisa Beghin *************************************************************** Luisa Beghin Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Fac.
