Seminario ROSNER

05 Dec '18

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Mercoledì 12 Dicembre 2018, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Gary L. ROSNER (Johns Hopkins University) BAYESIAN APPROACHES IN REGULATORY SCIENCE Regulatory science comprises the tools, standards, and approaches that regulators use to assess safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of drugs and medical devices. A major focus of regulatory science is the design and analysis of clinical trials. These clinical experiments help us learn about what works clinically and what does not work. The results of clinical trials support therapeutic and policy decisions. Decision making also arises when designing clinical trials. Investigators make many decisions regarding various aspects of how they will carry out the study, such as the primary objective of the study, primary and secondary endpoints, methods of analysis, sample size, etc. Many scientists have advocated greater application of Bayesian statistical inference in regulatory science, and applications of Bayesian methods in drug and device development continue to increase. This talk presents a vision of the drug and device development framework and the way Bayesian inference fits naturally within it. In particular, I advocate greater application of Bayesian decision theory in clinical evaluation of therapeutics. I present some examples that illustrate how one can use decision theory in the design of a clinical study. I also point out some of the challenges one encounters when applying decision theory to clinical research. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (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

Annuncio Seminario (UNIMIB) - S. Bonaccorsi
by gianmario tessitore 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Si avvisa che in data 11-12-2018, alle ore 11:00, presso l'Aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) Titolo: Some notes on Malliavin calculus, surface integrals and integration by parts formulae in infinite dimensional spaces Abstract: We introduce a basic construction of the Malliavin calculus which unifies some different perspectives (e.g., Bogachev, Da Prato, Lunardi, Nualart). Then we introduce, for suitable functionals of the Brownian motion, the problem of constructing a surface measure (i.e., the restriction of the reference measure on the infinite dimensional Wiener space) on the level sets defined by them. Finally, we give some interpretation of such results in terms of other stochastic processes. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

2 years postdoc position in statistics
by Guillaume Kon Kam King 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Dear all, Benoit Liquet (https://sites.google.com/site/benoitliquet/home) is advertising a postdoc position in Statistics, located in the South-West of France, near Biarritz. More details below, and in attachment. Please forward if you know any interested candidate. Best, Guillaume KON KAM KING Università degli Studi di Torino *https://sites.google.com/site/guillaumekonkamking/home <https://sites.google.com/site/guillaumekonkamking/home>* Recruitment grade: young researcher (i.e. with PhD) Location: Anglet, France Duration: 12 to 24 months, starting late 2018 (December or January 2019) Deadline: position open until filled Gross Salary Range: 2699 euros / month Postdoc description: Recently, several approaches were developed for completing the agnostic > genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the discovery of new genetic risk > factors. One such approach is gene set analysis (GSA) that incorporates the > available biological knowledge of genes in order to provide additional > insights into the mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis. Another approach > proposed to test variants for association for multiple phenotypes as over > the years multiple loci have been found to be associated to several > distinct traits revealing the existence of pleiotropic effects. Although a > number of statistical approaches have been proposed in the literature for > identifying the existence of pleiotropy at SNP-level, not a lot of work has > been conducted for investigating pleiotropy at gene- and pathway-levels. We > aim to fill this gap by developing advanced statistical methods that test > for pleiotropic effects at a pathway level. Also, we will extend these > methods for the analysis of GxE interactions, as to the best of our > knowledge, pleiotropy methods have not adapted for testing for GxE > interactions. Therefore, our first objective is to develop novel > statistical methods that will identify shared pathways between different > diseases. Our second aim is to extend these methods for testing GxE in > general or in the context of pleiotropy. These methods will be applied to > explore the genetic relationship between differentiated thyroid cancer > (DTC) and breast cancer (BC) types. It has been shown that these two > cancers are linked as women with a prior history of DTC are at an increased > risk for BC and conversely. Both tumors have been shown to be associated to > common hormonal risk factors and shared genetic susceptibility is > suspected. We will use data from the CECILE study (1019 BC cases and 999 > controls) and from EPITHYR (1345 DTC cases and 1399 controls). All subjects > were genotyped using the OncoArray chip that includes more than 500 000 > variants. Through the developments of novel statistical methods, we aim to > elucidate the common mechanisms between BC and DTC. This project will lead > to the development of new statistical methods that will benefit both the > epidemiology and statistical communities. These methods will permit to gain > novel insights into the inherited genetic basis of BC and DTC by > identifying the common biological elements that contribute to their > aetiology.
