Fwd: [owps] Reminder next OWPS
by Faggionato, Alessandra 27 May '24

27 May '24

Buongiorno ricevo e con piacere inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, 27 May 2024 at 08:40 Subject: [owps] Reminder next OWPS To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> This is a gentle reminder that the next OWPS will be *today* from *15:00* to *17:00* *CEST *time. There will be two talks on the topic of exploration driven analysis of random graphs. The talks will touch upon general techniques and specific applications of these techniques. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/-zGkCWqjZFlpkVlsnEyR_?domain=eur01.safeli…> . ----------------------- Talk 1 :* Mariana Olvera-Cravioto, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill* Local limits and preferential attachment graphs This talk is meant to provide an overview of local weak convergence techniques for a large class of directed random graphs, including static models such as the Erdos-Renyi, Chung-Lu, stochastic block model, and configuration models, as well as dynamic models such as the collapsed branching process and the directed preferential attachment graph. We explain how local limits can be used to study important structural graph properties, including centrality measures such as the PageRank distribution. We further use the insights obtained from our analysis of centrality measures to explain how static models and evolving models differ in how large degree vertices are distributed within the graph and how they shape their neighborhoods. In particular, we show that the empirically accepted “power-law hypothesis” on scale-free graphs, which states that the PageRank distribution follows a power-law with the same tail index as the in-degree distribution, holds in most static models but not in the dynamic models we study. This is joint work with: Sayan Banerjee and Prabhanka Deka. Talk 2 : Sayan Banerjee, *University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill* Exploration-driven networks We propose and investigate a class of random networks where incoming vertices locally explore the graph before attaching to an existing vertex. Specific instances of these networks correspond to uniform attachment, linear preferential attachment and attachment with probability proportional to vertex PageRanks. We obtain local weak limits for such networks and use them to derive asymptotics for the limiting empirical degree and PageRank distribution. We also quantify asymptotics for the degree and PageRank of fixed vertices, including the root, and the height of the network. Two distinct regimes are seen to emerge, based on the expected exploration distance of incoming vertices, which we call the ‘fringe’ and ‘non-fringe’ regimes. These regimes are shown to exhibit different qualitative and quantitative properties. In particular, networks in the non-fringe regime undergo ‘condensation’ where the root degree grows at the same rate as the network size. Networks in the fringe regime do not exhibit condensation. Interesting phase transition phenomena are exhibited for the height of the tree and the limiting PageRank distribution. The latter connects to the well-known power-law hypothesis and the proposed class of models `interpolate’ between the PageRank behavior of static and dynamic graphs discussed in Mariana’s talk. Based on joint works with Mariana Olvera-Cravioto, Shankar Bhamidi and Xiangying (Zoe) Huang.

talk Prof. Domenico Marinucci on May 27 - DIMA - UNIGE
by Ernesto De Vito 24 May '24

24 May '24

Dear all, this is a kind reminder of the following seminar Speaker : Domenico Marinucci (https://sites.google.com/view/domenicomarinucci/home) Affiliation: Dipartimento di Matematica - Università Roma Tor Vergata Title: Spectral complexity of deep neural networks Date: Monday, May 27, 2024 at 11.30 Place: Aula 704 (7th floor) , Dipartimento di Matematica at University of Genova, Via Dodencaneso 35, Teams link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NTEyMmU4MWEtZjIwOC00… Abstract: It is well-known that randomly initialized, push-forward, fully-connected neural networks weakly converge to isotropic Gaussian processes, in the limit where the width of all layers goes to infinity. In this paper, we propose to use the angular power spectrum of the limiting fields to characterize the complexity of the network architecture. In particular, we define sequences of random variables associated with the angular power spectrum, and provide a full characterization of the network complexity in terms of the asymptotic distribution of these sequences as the depth diverges. On this basis, we classify neural networks as low-disorder, sparse, or high-disorder; we show how this classification highlights a number of distinct features for standard activation functions, and in particular, sparsity properties of ReLU networks. Our theoretical results are also validated by numerical simulations.

talk Dott. Marco Tarsia on May 29, 2024
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 24 May '24

24 May '24

Dear all, you are invited to participate to the following seminar on Wednesday 29th of May 2024 at 12:00: Title: STOCHASTIC ORDERINGS FOR SET-VALUED RISK MEASURES Abstract: We introduce and analyze from an axiomatic point of view an extension to the set-valued scenario of the maximal correlation risk measure as defined by Burgert and Rüschendorf (2006). Furthermore, we present the notion of stochastic ordering for random vectors, utilizing the upper expectation operator - introduced in Hamel and Heyde (2021) - in conjunction with extensive classes of multidimensional functions. We then explore the consistency of such stochastic orderings for appropriate set-valued risk measures. These measures resemble the maximal correlation risk measure, offering flexibility regarding adherence to all the axioms of a portfolio aggregator and a proper set-valued risk measure. A remarkable example within this category is represented by law-invariant set-valued risk measures, such as the set-valued distortion risk measure as defined, for example, in Chen and Hu (2019). The in-person presentation will be held in Room 3 Padiglione Morselli, Via Ottorino Rossi, 9, 21100 Varese VA<https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x478681f7697827db:0x771…>, Insubria University.

Dear Colleagues, On Thursday the 30th of May you are all warmly invited to our one-day workshop organised under the GRINS Project on *Time Series Models for Financial and Environmental Risk* Participation is free. However, for organizational purposes, you are kindly asked to register by May the 27th here https://bit.ly/form-workshop-timeseriesmodels . Ca’ Foscari University, San Giobbe Economics Campus, Meeting Room 1, Venezia *Program:* 10.00am Registration 10.45am *Welcome Remarks: Prof. Monica Billio, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Project Leder of the Grins Spoke 4, Sustainable Finance.* *1st Session* 11.00am *Prof.* *Giacomo Bormetti, University of Pavia*, *Measuring price impact and information content of trades in a time-varying setting.* 11.45am *Dr. Giuseppe Buccheri, University of Verona*, *Semiparametric Estimation of Volatility in the Presence of Intraday Drift Dynamics.* 12.30pm Lunch *2nd Session* 2.00pm* Dr. Dario Palumbo, Ca' Foscari University of Venice*, *An Observation-Driven Generalized Poisson Model*. 2.45pm *Dr. Enzo D'Innocenzo, University of Bologna, **Limit results for score-driven filters**.* 3.30pm Coffee break 4.00pm *Keynote speech**: Prof. Andrew Harvey, University of Cambridge. **Score-driven models: overview and recent developments.* *Abstracts*: *Prof.* *Giacomo Bormetti,*University of Pavia, Italy https://unipv.unifind.cineca.it/get/person/021642 *Measuring price impact and information content of trades in a time-varying setting* We propose a non-linear observation-driven version of the Hasbrouck (1991) model for dynamically estimating trades' market impact and information content. We find that market impact displays an intraday pattern superimposed with large fluctuations. Some of them are exogenous, and, as an example, we investigate market impact dynamics around FOMC announcements. Contrary to Hasbrouck (1991), we find that the information content of trades depends on the local liquidity level and the recent history of prices and trades. Finally, we use the model to estimate the time-varying permanent impact parameter, which allows performing a dynamic transaction cost analysis. Joint work with Francesco Campigli and Fabrizio Lillo. *Dr. Giuseppe Buccheri,*University of Verona, Italy https://sites.google.com/view/giuseppe-buccheri/home *Semiparametric Estimation of Volatility in the Presence of Intraday Drift Dynamics* In the conventional semimartingale representation of the log-price of a financial security, the volatility of daily log-returns is consistently estimated by their ex-post quadratic variation. A crucial assumption underlying this result is that the drift dynamics are negligible or pre-determined given past information. Recent empirical evidences of intraday unanticipated variations of mean returns call into doubt the validity of this assumption. We propose a semiparametric estimator of the daily return volatility incorporating the effect of stochastic intraday dynamics of the drift process. This framework allows us to test for the presence of drift dynamics in the data and to assess their impact on the daily return volatility. Our empirical analysis shows three main results: (i) there exists compelling evidence of intraday drift dynamics across various asset classes; (ii) when the drift moves significantly, our measure of volatility provides a better description of the return distribution; (iii) the component of the return variance associated with drift dynamics is non-negligible and possesses predictive power. Joint work with Giorgio Vocalelli. *Dr. Dario Palumbo,* Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy https://www.unive.it/data/people/22437798 *An Observation-Driven Generalized Poisson Model for Environmental Variables* Based on the Generalised Poisson (GP) conditional distribution, a new general class of observation-driven models for count data is presented and their theoretical properties are derived. The GP is a flexible distribution which allows for both under- and over-dispersion. As a special member of this class, a score-driven model version is introduced. We show that this specification is robust to the presence of outliers and can be extended to allow for time varying over-dispersion. For the estimation of the model we provide a Bayesian inference framework and an efficient posterior approximation procedure based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo. The applications on environmental variables show that the proposed model is well suited for capturing the over-dispersion feature of the data. *Dr. Enzo D'Innocenzo,* University of Bologna, Italy https://www.enzodinnocenzo.com/ *Limit results for score-driven filters* A study of the filtering approximation-theoretic properties of score-driven time series models. The new results are derived under a set of Lipschitz-type and tail conditions, from which I obtain maximal and deviation inequalities for the filtering approximation error. For the latter, I use techniques from empirical process theory. The novel proposed approach allows, for the first time, to study the asymptotic behavior of the empirical distribution function and the empirical processes of the approximated residuals. Since score-driven models encompasses the well-known generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity, it is proved that the results obtained in this paper extends those of Francq and Zakoian (2022) for this class of nonlinear models. In conclusion, I also give an application of these results to a popular score-driven time series models, namely, the Beta-t-GARCH(1,1) model. *Prof. Andrew Harvey,*University of Cambridge, UK *https://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/people/emeritus/ach34 <https://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/people/emeritus/ach34>* *Score-driven models: overview and recent developments* Score-driven <ach34(a)cam.ac.uk)Score-driven> time series models were introduced into the literature more than a decade ago. Since then progress has been made on the theory and a variety of new models have been introduced. I begin by reviewing theoretical results on stationarity and invertibility and show how these apply to moment-driven and score-driven models for dynamic location and/or scale parameters from a wide range of distributions. Issues of robustness are discussed and it is argued that quasi score-driven (QSD) models have an important role to play. The advantages of an exponential link function are stressed.

Seminario 4 giugno e visita a Milano Bandyopadhyay Antar
by Giacomo Aletti 20 May '24

20 May '24

Nell’ambito dei progetti di eccellenza, il Prof. Bandyopadhyay Antar Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit Head of Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre, New Delhi, India sarà a Milano nella settimana 2-9 giugno. È stato organizzato un seminario per il 4 giugno 2024 dalle ore 14.30 alle ore 15.30 in Aula Maggiore, via Celoria 2, Milano, dal titolo A classical random reinforcement model viewed differently! Abstract: In this talk, we will start by explaining a classical random reinforcement model introduced by Pólya back in 1920 which is widely known as the Pólya's urn scheme. We will then indicate several unrelated examples can be thought as following Pólya's model provided we allow ourselves a novel infinite dimensional generalization. After indicating the difficulties which arise due to absence of good mathematical (mostly algebraic) techniques to deal with infinite dimensional matrices (or appropriate linear operators), we will explain a new probabilistic technique to handle the infinite dimensional generalization. We shall define a novel stochastic process which will turn out to be Markov with respect to a new type of "time'' parameter, which instead of deterministic and unidirectional, will be random and will have a tree-type structure. We shall show that this new process and the infinite dimensional generalization of Pólya's balanced urn scheme have the same law. This will enable us to derive fairly general scaling limits for the infinite dimensional scheme and show that classical results can be easily derived without much difficulties and completely avoiding algebraic techniques. Moreover, we will show that apparently unrelated problems arising from a variety of different fields such as combinatorics, statistical physics and statistics, can be solved by using this new generalization. Il seminario è pensato per un pubblico non specialistico ed è aperto a tutti.
