Speaker: *Matteo Sesia* (University of Southern California)
Title: *Testing for outliers with conformal p-values*
Abstract:
This talk discusses the construction of provably valid frequentist p-values
for nonparametric outlier detection, taking a multiple-testing perspective.
The goal is to test whether new independent samples belong to the same
distribution as a reference data set or are outliers. We study a solution
based on conformal inference, a broadly applicable framework which yields
p-values that are marginally valid in finite samples but are mutually
dependent for different test points. We prove these p-values are positively
dependent and enable exact false discovery rate control, although in a
relatively weak marginal sense. We then introduce a new method to compute
p-values that are both valid conditionally on the training data and
independent of each other for different test points; this paves the way to
stronger type-I error guarantees. Finally, we discuss how to further boost
power by leveraging a separate data set of known outliers with an approach
inspired by weighted hypothesis testing. The practical relevance of our
results is demonstrated by numerical experiments on real and simulated data.

Buongiorno a tutt*
ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online
promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html).
*Lunedì 8 maggio 2023*
*ore 16-17 Luisa Beghin *
*Title*: Non-local differential operators in probability
*Abstract*
The study of nonlocal differential operators is an active field of research
in pure and applied mathematics and has been drawing increasing attention
over the last few years. Fractional-order operators (i.e. integrals and
derivatives of non-integer order) are maybe the most famous and studied in
the literature. Their origin goes back to the end of the seventeenth
century, but only recently they have been applied to a variety of fields
ranging from biology to engineering, probability theory, physics, image
processing among others. In this talk, we will concentrate our attention on
the stochastic applications of non-local operators, in particular in the
theory of anomalous diffusions and renewal processes.
*ore 17-18 Valentina Cammarota*
*Title*: On the Correlation of Critical Points and Angular Trispectrum for
Random Spherical Harmonics.
*Abstract*
We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the Critical Points of Random
Spherical Harmonics, in the High-Energy Limit. The result is a consequence
of a deeper characterizations of the total number of critical points, which
are shown to be asymptotically fully correlated with the sample
trispectrum, i.e., the integral of the fourth Hermite polynomial evaluated
on the eigenfunctions themselves. As a consequence, the total number of
critical points and the nodal length are fully correlated for random
spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit.

Titolo: Bayesian non-stationary spatial modeling via domain partitioning, with application to soil organic carbon
Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) or the carbon found in soil’s organic matter is an important component in the Earth’s carbon cycle and can help mitigate the negative consequences of climate change. Because of its broad relevance to climate and agriculture, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommended that the spatial distribution of SOC be carefully monitored. Due to time and cost constraints, spatially-referenced measurements of SOC or “stocks”, e.g. the amount of SOC in a volume, are available only at limited locations. In this talk I will present two Bayesian non-stationary statistical models for SOC with the goal of understanding spatial variability and dependence in SOC for sampling and spatial prediction of SOC. Both approaches model SOC by assuming that the process is globally non-stationary but locally stationary with regions of stationarity identified using different strategies. In one approach, the regions are defined as partitions of the spatial domain where spatially-varying covariates are more homogeneous; in the other, the regions are defined as subsets of the spatial domain with varying strength of spatial dependence.
I will show that inference and SOC predictions yielded by our models are valuable for sampling design and to decision makers, in that they can be used to better benchmark mechanistic models and identify targets for soil restoration projects.

Abstract: We compute quantitative bounds for measuring the discrepancy between the distribution of two min-max statistics involving either pairs of Gaussian random matrices, or one Gaussian and one Gaussian-subordinated random matrix. In the fully Gaussian setup, our approach allows us to recover quantitative versions of well-known inequalities by Gordon, thus generalising the quantitative version of the Sudakov-Fernique inequality deduced by Chatterjee. On the other hand, the Gaussian-subordinated case yields generalizations of estimates obtained in the framework of the CCK theory. As applications, we establish comparison bounds for order statistics of random vectors and fourth moment bounds for matrices of multiple stochastic Wiener-Itô integrals. Based on a joint work with G. Peccati.

*Abstract: *We introduce a natural measure on bi-infinite random walk
trajectories evolving in a time-dependent environment driven by the
Langevin dynamics associated with a gradient Gibbs measure with convex
potential. We derive an identity relating the occupation times of the
Poissonian cloud induced by this measure to the square of the corresponding
gradient field, which - generically - is not Gaussian. In the quadratic
case, we recover a well-known generalization of the second Ray-Knight
theorem. We further determine the scaling limits of the various objects
involved in dimension 3, which are seen to exhibit homogenization. In
particular, we prove that the renormalized square of the gradient field
converges under appropriate rescaling to the Wick-ordered square of a
Gaussian free field on R^3 with suitable diffusion matrix, thus extending a
celebrated result of Naddaf and Spencer regarding the scaling limit of the
field itself. (Based on joint work with Pierre-François Rodriguez.)

Dear All,
it is a pleasure to announce the
Summer School on “Replicability crisis in science?”
University of Padova, Italy, 18-22 September 2023
The school is open to 30 Ph.D or Master students, no fees are required,
but registration is mandatory. Lectures will be delivered in English.
Main Lecturers:
Prof. Giovanni Parmigiani, Department of Data Science, Dana Farber
Cancer Institute, Harvard University, USA
(https://scholar.harvard.edu/parmigiani)
Prof. Branden Fitelson, Department of Philosophy and Religion,
Northeastern University, USA
(https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/branden-fitelson/)
Course Outline:
The main objective of the Summer School is to offer to a well-motivated
small group of young people starting their scientific research journey
an opportunity for high-level interdisciplinary training on crucial
issues arising from the recent debate concerning the crisis of
replicability in scientific research.
The school will provide a broad and interdisciplinary view, as well as
the tools that may enable individual participants to focus on specific
aspects of replicability that are relevant to their own discipline of
interest.
Activities will include both main lectures and lab sessions for Master
and Ph.D. students coming from different countries.
The lectures will offer to participants a set of theoretical and
applied tools to conduct and critically evaluate rigorous research. In
workshop activities, students will have the opportunity to discuss the
topics with both teachers and peers in order to overcome traditional
boundaries between statistics and philosophy and other sciences as well
as to stimulate innovative research hypotheses and international
collaborations.
Conference Website:
http://replicability.stat.unipd.it/
Registration:
application is now open until 31 May 2023. Participants will be selected
based on their CV, motivation letter, research interests, and balance
within the group in terms of gender and geographical origin.
Notification of decisions will be sent to applicants via email by 30
June 2023.
