Seminario BOUCHERON
by Matteo Ruggiero 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdì 27 Gennaio 2017 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Stéphane BOUCHERON (Université Paris-Diderot) CONCENTRATION INEQUALITIES IN THE INFINITE URN SCHEME FOR OCCUPANCY COUNTS AND THE MISSING MASS, WITH APPLICATIONS TO GOOD-TURING ESTIMATORS AND ADAPTIVE STATISTICAL TEXT COMPRESSION An infinite urn scheme is defined by a probability mass function over positive integers. A random allocation consists of a sample of N independent drawings according to this probability distribution where N may be deterministic or Poisson-distributed. We are concerned with occupancy counts, that is with the number of symbols with r or at least r occurrences in the sample, and with the missing mass that is the total probability of all symbols that do not occur in the sample. Without any further assumption on the sampling distribution, these random quantities are shown to satisfy Bernstein-type concentration inequalities. The variance factors in these concentration inequalities are shown to be tight if the sampling distribution satisfies a regular variation property. Among other applications, these concentration inequalities allow us to derive tight confidence intervals for the Good--Turing estimator of the missing mass. In statistical text compression, adaptive (or twice-universal) coding faces the following problem: given a collection of source classes such that each class in the collection has a non-trivial minimax redundancy rate, can we design a single code which is asymptotically minimax over each class in the collection? We deal with classes of sources over an infinite alphabet (that is with infinite urn schemes), that are characterized by a dominating envelope. We provide asymptotic equivalents for the redundancy of envelope classes enjoying a regular variation property. We construct a computationally efficient online code, which is shown to be adaptive, within a loglog(n) factor, over the collection of regularly varying envelope classes. 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 www.matteoruggiero.it

ENBIS Spring Meeting on Predictive Maintenance and Reliability with Big and Complex Data
by antonio.pievatolo＠cnr.it 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Call for papers *ENBIS Spring Meeting on Predictive Maintenance and Reliability with Big and Complex Data* Monastery of Schlägl in Upper Austria, from 28th to 30th May, 2017 Abstract submission deadline: *26 February 2017* Web page: http://www.enbis.org/activities/events/current/533_ENBIS_Spring_Meeting_201… Description The meeting will focus on predictive maintenance and reliability with big and complex data. Industrial statistics and in particular reliability engineering is a strongly growing field of interest as technical products determine more and more our daily life (communication, mobility, logistics, energy, nutrition, etc.). This dependence motivates the importance of high reliability of processes and devices. The 2017 ENBIS Spring Meeting will contribute to the discussion of current problems and challenges in reliability and maintenance and to the exchange of knowledge among experts from industry, consultancy and academia. The meeting will focus on the application of statistical methods in the contemporary big data and internet of things context, where the sustained flow of failure and maintenance data can be of great value for prognosis and decision making if properly integrated with data analytic methods. Contributions are welcome on the illustration of particularly challenging reliability and maintenance problems, as well as on methodologies such as stochastic modelling, association modelling and data analysis methods designed for big data. -- Dr Antonio Pievatolo IMATI-CNR http://www.imati.cnr.it/joomla/index.php/people?layout=edit&id=101

Annuncio di seminario

*Lunedi 23 gennaio* *Ore 16:00, Aula di Consiglio* *Seminario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica* *Domenico Marinucci, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Roma Tor Vergata* *Titolo: A Quantitative Central Limit Theorem for the Euler-Poincaré Characteristic of Random Spherical EigenfunctionsWe establish here a Quantitative Central Limit Theorem (in Wassersteindistance) for the Euler-Poincaré Characteristic of excursion sets ofrandom spherical eigenfunctions in dimension 2. Our proof is based upon adecomposition of the Euler-Poincaré Characteristic into differentWiener-chaos components: we prove that its asymptotic behaviour isdominated by a single term, corresponding to the chaotic component oforder two. As a consequence, we show how the asymptotic dependence on the threshold level u is fully degenerate, i.e. the Euler-PoincaréCharacteristic converges to a single random variable times a deterministicfunction of the threshold. This deterministic function has a zero at theorigin, where the variance is thus asymptotically of smaller order. Ourresults can be written as an asymptotic second-order Gaussian KinematicFormula for the excursion sets of Gaussian spherical harmonics.Based on a joint work with Valentina Cammarota.* *Prossimo seminario: Valentina Cammarota, 31/1* *Tutti gli interessati sono invitati ad intervenire.* *Per richieste di informazioni scrivere a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it.*

Following the paradigm of preferential attachment, these models offer a simple explanation to why power laws can be observed in real-life networks such as the world wide web. The basic rule is that when new nodes are introduced into the network, they prefer to establish connections to old nodes that already have many connections. In this project we will consider the preferential network model with fitness. Here, the classical preferential attachment mechanism is modified by equipping each node with a random fitness. This models the fact that not every new node in a real-life network has the same initial attractiveness. The aim of the project is to understand how this extra randomness modifies the structure of the network. The mathematical analysis is closely related to studying processes in random environment and in particular to non-homogeneous branching processes. > > The project will be based at the internationally recognised probability laboratory at the University of Bath and the PhD candidate would benefit from a vibrant research environment and the interaction with other postgraduate students and other specialists working on closely related topics. >

de Finetti Risk Seminar - January 24, 2017
by Emanuela Rosazza 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture TITLE: Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in Infinite Dimension: Economic and Financial models Fausto Gozzi LUISS, Italy ABSTRACT: "PDEs in Infinite Dimension" seems, already from the name, a very abstract and difficult subject. We aim to show how it can be very useful in treating, in particular, economic and financial models. We start by presenting some motivating problems in Economic and Finance (e.g. Growth and Pricing/Hedging) which can be naturally attacked using, as main mathematical tools, infinite dimensional PDEs. We then point out the state of the art on these kind of problems and present some recent results on them. Finally we will discuss the applicability of such results to the motivating problems and give some ideas on possible future developments. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Tuesday, January 24, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 19.00. Scientific Committee Prof. Simone Cerreia-Voglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Massimo Marinacci (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Emanuela Rosazza Gianin (Univ. Milano-Bicocca) Dott.
