(PMS)^2 talk - De Vecchi - October 17 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Francesco Carlo De Vecchi (Università di Pavia) Title: A differential characterization of exponential quantum field theory on the plane Abstract: Characterizing a probability measure through an integration by parts formula is a classical problem in stochastic analysis. It finds applications in (Euclidean) quantum field theory, being related to the solutions of the equations of motion for the correlation functions of the quantum field. We approach this problem in the particular case of quantum field theory with exponential interaction on $\mathbb{R}^2$, studying a Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation associated to the stochastic quantization equation for such a model. We prove that, under some conditions on the support of the measure, the solution to this Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation exists and is unique, providing a complete characterization of the exponential measure by an integration by parts formula. The talk is based on a joint work with Massimiliano Gubinelli and Mattia Turra. Date and time: Monday October 17, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Entra nella riunione in Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89875903841?pwd=NnJUclZidHl6RTg0a0ljcEVNVXp5UT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89875903841?pwd=NnJUclZidHl6RTg0a0ljcEVNVXp5UT09> ID riunione: 898 7590 3841 Passcode: 262094 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico.

One World ABC Seminar: Radu Craiu, October 20, 2.30pm
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Dear all, our next One World ABC Seminar https://warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> is quickly approaching. Our next speaker is Radu Craiu <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Futstat.to…> (University of Toronto), who will talk about "Bayesian Computation Strategies for Big Data and Intractable Models" on Thursday, October 20, 2.30pm Uk time (Zoom link and password are reported below) Abstract: Bayesian computation is in double jeopardy due to massive data volumes that make the usual MCMC samplers too computationally expensive and/or models with intractable likelihoods. Even under such adverse conditions, Bayesian data analysis can still be conducted using divide and conquer strategies and/or approximate methods such as Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) or Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood (BSL). We discuss some recent work that addresses these challenges, including perturbed MCMC samplers that are used within the ABC and BSL paradigms to significantly accelerate computation while maintaining control on computational efficiency.

Postdoctoral position in Torino
by Matteo Ruggiero 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Con preghiera di diffusione a potenziali interessati. Grazie Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/> Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino Title: FAST INFERENTIAL STRATEGIES WITH COX-INGERSOLL-ROSS DRIVEN HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS AND THEIR EXTENSIONS Supervisor: Matteo Ruggiero (University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) www.matteoruggiero.it <http://www.matteoruggiero.it/> Brief description: The project aims at improving current inferential techniques addressed to diffusions like Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes or their extensions, e.g. Dawson-Watanabe processes, or transformations, e.g., Wright-Fisher and Fleming-Viot diffusions. We will tackle Bayesian inference on the trajectory of such diffusions or on the parameters that characterize drift and volatility, under the assumption of a hidden Markov model framework with noisy data collection. We will typically exploit duality properties, which allow to write the conditional distributions of the hidden signal given the data in simpler forms than those obtained through the transition density of the signal, especially when the latter is only available as a series expansion, together with simulation and approximation strategies, which aim at accelerating the inference by leveraging on the discrete nature of the dual process state space. Such approaches will be used to make direct inference on the process trajectory and to set up Markov chain Monte Carlo strategies that target the estimation of the process parameters. Duration: 12 months, renewable. Application deadline: h13 Oct 24, 2022 Starting date: Dec 1 or later, 2022 Further info: matteo.ruggiero(a)unito.it Applications through https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/ <https://www.serviziweb.unito.it/albo_ateneo/> Reference number for the call: 4382; code reference in the call: ESOMAS.2022.08/XXIV.

PhD position at Milano Bicocca
by Francesca Greselin 10 Oct '22

Partially rectifying a previous message: Good morning, Hope my email finds you well. We are hiring a *PhD position in Statistics at the University of Milano-Bicocca from December 2022* (session III, published on October 3,2022, with *deadline for application on October 17 *at noon). More information about the content of the research can be found below, and at the link https://en.unimib.it/education/postgraduates/doctoral-research-phd-programm… Best, Francesca Greselin <https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=25936155400> Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca *Title of the research* Statistical methodologies for the development of green and eco-sustainable cosmetic products from marine environmental DNA *Abstract * Sustainable Fashion, Luxury, and Design are currently key sectors of Milan's economy. There is an increasing interest in an ecological and digital transition within all economic sectors, and Milan Universities, together with many innovative firms, are heading such an effort, also in the cosmetics field. This research project aims to contribute to transforming the production and distribution processes within the area of cosmetics to reduce environmental impacts and foster the market transition. The research will have a first phase to perform market research on cosmetics and luxury, firstly on bibliographic sources, and successively integrating different sources of information obtained from public repositories and from specific analyses that can be conducted on web scraped data. The first part of the study aims to understand and assess customers' interest in green cosmetics for topical use and identify the specific features that could make a difference in market share. As a result, particular skills related to data collection through different sources, data cleaning, and data integration should be developed along with the research. It also involves the processing of a vast amount of data, therefore, a good familiarity with and/or predisposition to the use of big data is welcome and desirable. Research should be carried on to devise the key factors required by the market or beneficial to it, and to scrutinize appropriate models for economic forecasting. The second phase of the research will be carried out on experimental data originated by studying new products. Within a wise ecological transition, microplastics will be replaced with natural materials for cosmetic products. This transition will be performed in collaboration with the Bicocca Marhe center (located on Maldives island), where particular plant species are found, and great biodiversity is available for the purpose. The activities will be conducted under a surveillance protocol to monitor these marine species' conservation status and assess the impact of human activities, to protect important offshore marine sites. Experiments with new cosmetics will also originate from studies of the microbiota of the skin, and how it is altered and modified with newly developed products. New chemical formulas will be experimented to find alternatives to analog formulas used in valid but not green cosmetics, perfecting and optimizing existing molecules, and formulating them as better alternative products. Finally, the third part of the research will be devoted to providing indications for production and distribution processes that will agree with the project's overall purpose of sustainability. Possible research exchange visits are envisaged with other foreign universities currently involved in ongoing collaborations.

SPASS seminar: Wolfgang König (WIAS and TU Berlin), 11 October, 11:30

06 Oct '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: The free energy of (a box version of) the interacting Bose gas Prof. Wolfgang König, WIAS and TU Berlin (abstract below) The seminar will take place on 11 October at 11:30 in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica “Ulisse Dini”, Firenze, and streamed online here <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg&source=gm…>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- Abstract: The interacting quantum Bose gas is a random ensemble of many Brownian bridges (cycles) of various lengths with interactions between any pair of legs of the cycles. It is one of the standard mathematical models in which a proof for the famous Bose–Einstein condensation phase transition is sought for. We introduce a simplified version of the model in $Z^d$ instead of $R^d$ and with an organisation of the particles in deterministic boxes in- stead of Brownian cycles as the marks of a reference Poisson point process. We derive an explicit and interpretable variational formula in the thermody- namic limit for the canonical ensemble for any value of the particle density. In this formula, each of the microscopic particles and the macroscopic part of the configuration are seen explicitly (if they exist); the latter receives the interpretation of the condensate. The methods comprises a two step large- deviation approach for marked Poisson point processes and an explicit dis- tinction into microscopic and macroscopic marks. We discuss the conden- sate phase transition in terms of existence of minimizer.

Fwd: January 24-25 IRS 2023 Conference Announcement
by Faggionato, Alessandra 03 Oct '22

03 Oct '22

Buongiorno ricevo ed inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Inhomegenous Random <inter(a)math.cnrs.fr> Date: Sat, 1 Oct 2022 at 22:44 Subject: January 24-25 IRS 2023 Conference Announcement To: <faggiona(a)mat.uniroma1.it> Dear Colleagues, This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on: INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS which will be held on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 January 2023 at Institut Curie and Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris, and also on-line. You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement with the same informations as below which you may print and post up. Looking forward to meeting you in Paris, Giambattista Giacomin, Christian Maes, Ellen Saada. --------------------------------------------------------------------- INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes January 24-25, 2023 Institut Curie & IHP (also online) 11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a specific topic; the 2021 session is planned as follows. Tuesday 24 January: POINT PROCESSES AND STATISTICAL MECHANICS. Moderator: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma). Nontrivial geometrical patterns emerge in many areas of science and technology and a fundamental tool for their modeling is provided by point processes. Their zoology is very rich and a central role is played by the Poisson point process. The workshop aims at presenting recent results on point processes both of theoretical nature (analysis, geometry and probability) and more applied ones, notably in the direction of statistical mechanics and material science. There will also be a moment in memory of our friend and colleague Francis Comets. Speakers: Alessandra Faggionato (Roma), Antoine Gloria (Paris & Bruxelles), Frank den Hollander (Leiden), Martin Huesmann (Muenster), Sabine Jansen (Muenchen), Raphael Lachieze-Rey (Paris), Giovanni Peccati (Luxembourg). Wednesday 25 January: FREE PROBABILITY, BETWEEN MATHS AND PHYSICS. Moderator: Jorge Kurchan (Paris) Free probability is a flourishing field in probability theory. It deals with non-commutative random variables where one introduces the concept of "freeness" in analogy to "independence" of commuting random variables. On the mathematical side, it has given new tools and a deeper insight into, amongst others, the field of random matrices.

Dear colleagues, I am happy to forward you the information regarding the following seminar organized by LTI@UniTO. The seminar can also be attended via zoom at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86733344211?pwd=UGNoUi9CNFM5bE5SNmNaeFR6bTJsQT09 Best regards, Luca Regis LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar: October 3, 2022 | 12:00-13:00 “How do Funds Deviate from Benchmarks? Evidence from MSCI’s Inclusion of Chinese A-shares” (joint with Lennart Dekker and Jasmin Gider) Frank de Jong (Tilburg University) Abstract. An increasing amount of assets is managed by benchmark-tracking investment funds. This study investigates how benchmarking changes affect portfolio compositions in the cross-section of different investor types and stock characteristics. To that end, we exploit the phased introduction of Chinese A-shares to the MSCI Emerging Markets index, which was announced in June 2017 and implemented over the period from May 2018 to November 2019. This change presents a rare opportunity to estimate the impact of index changes and to shed light on cross-sectional implications. We document that particularly passive funds systematically deviate from the benchmark. Market capitalization, stock liquidity and stock volatility affect how benchmark changes translate to portfolio adjustments of mutual funds and ETFs. We then study how the changes in benchmark weights affect financial market outcomes, more specifically the comovement of returns. We find that these characteristics moderate the impact of benchmarking changes on financial market outcomes, suggesting that deviations from benchmarks matter.

One World ABC - Till Hoffmann - September 29, 1.30pm UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

Dear all, Season 4 of the One Word ABC Seminar https://warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc is starting this week on Thursday the 29th September, 1.30pm UK time. The first speaker of the season will be Till Hoffman, who will talk about "Minimizing the Expected Posterior Entropy Yields Optimal Summary Statistics", with an abstract reported below. The link to join the talk is https://bristol-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/93353511660?pwd=MmFTNUR5QkFBeStlenNVemtZbzJ… Meeting ID: 933 5351 1660 Passcode: 406075 We are looking forward to seeing you there, Best regards, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Organisers When: 29th September, 1.30pm UK time Speaker: Till Hoffmann <https://tillahoffmann.github.io/> (Harward T.H. Chan School of Publich Health) Title: Minimizing the Expected Posterior Entropy Yields Optimal Summary Statistics Abstract: Extracting low-dimensional summary statistics from large datasets is essential for efficient (likelihood-free) inference. We propose obtaining summary statistics by minimizing the expected posterior entropy (EPE) under the prior predictive distribution of the model. We show that minimizing the EPE is equivalent to learning a conditional density estimator for the posterior as well as other information-theoretic approaches. Further summary extraction methods (including minimizing the L² Bayes risk, maximizing the Fisher information, and model selection approaches) are special or limiting cases of EPE minimization. We demonstrate that the approach yields high fidelity summary statistics by applying it to both a synthetic benchmark as well as a population genetics problem. We not only offer concrete recommendations for practitioners but also provide a unifying perspective for obtaining informative summary statistics. Reference: T. Hoffmann and J.P. Onnela.

LUISS Seminar September 29 -- prof Cristensen, link
by Sara 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Dear all, this is a gentle memo of the seminar by Soren Christensen, Uni-Kiel, September 29 at 12:30 e verterà su: *Nonparametric approaches to data-driven stochastic control* Abstract: One of the fundamental assumptions in stochastic control of continuous-time processes is that the dynamics of the underlying process are known. This is, however, usually obviously not fulfilled in practice. On the other hand, a rich theory for nonparametric estimation of the characteristics of continuous-time processes has been developed over the last decades. In this talk, we discuss how to bring together these two areas for developing purely data-driven strategies for stochastic control, which we explore for ergodic impulse and singular control problems. We compare the results with those of deep-Q learning algorithms.
