Seminario di Probabilita' a RM1
by Faggionato, Alessandra 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Giovedi' 18 Gennaio, ore 12.00, Aula C Speaker: M. Maurelli (WIAS, Berlin) Title: Enhanced Sanov theorem for Brownian rough paths and an application to interacting particles Abstract: We establish a Sanov type large deviation principle for an ensemble of interacting Brownian rough paths. As application a large deviations principle for the (k-layer, enhanced) empirical measure of weakly interacting diffusions is obtained. This in turn implies a propagation of chaos result in rough path spaces and allows for a robust subsequent analysis of the particle system and its McKean-Vlasov type limit. The talk is based on a work in collaboration with J.D. Deuschel, P. Friz and M. Slowik -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Seminario LA VECCHIA
by Matteo Ruggiero 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 19 Gennaio 2018, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terra' il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Davide LA VECCHIA (University of Geneva) SADDLEPOINT TECHNIQUES FOR DEPENDENT DATA Saddlepoint techniques provide numerically accurate, higher-order, small sample approximations to the distribution of estimators and test statistics. While a rich theory is available for saddlepoint techniques in the case of independently and identically distributed observations, only a few results have been obtained for dependent data. In this talk, we explain how to fill this gap in the literature. Using the method of the tilted-Edgeworth expansion, we devise new saddlepoint density approximations and saddlepoint test statistics in the settings of time series (short or long memory) and spatial processes (panel data models, with fixed effects, time-varying covariates and spatially correlated errors). We compare our new approximations to the ones obtained by standard asymptotic theory, by Edgeworth expansion and by resampling methods. The numerical exercises illustrate that our approximations yield accuracy's improvements, while preserving analytical tractability. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <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

Dear Colleagues, on 24 January 2018 from 9:30 to 13:00 (Aula 8, Department of Business Studies-Roma Tre University, Via Silvio D'Amico, 77 -00145, Roma ), Dr. Angela Loregian, senior researcher at ARPM, will hold a min-workshop on "Advanced statistical techniques across disparate asset classes". The attendance of the course is free, but for organizational reasons it is necessary to register by sending an email to francesco.cesarone(a)uniroma3.it with the following subjects: Name Surname - ARPM min-workshop. *About the Program.* *We introduce the concept of "risk driver" and **"invariant“, illustrating:* *- the asset-specific art of building risk drivers across the financial markets* *- the asset-agnostic science of applying statistics (econometrics and **machine learning) to extract the invariants and estimate their joint * *distribution. **Then, we translate the above statistical analysis into the asset-specific **joint distribution of instrument returns.* For more details, see the attached pdf file. We look forward to meeting you in Roma Tre!

min-workshop on "Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics with MATLAB" at Roma Tre University
by Francesco Cesarone 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Dear Colleagues, on 23 January 2018 from 14:00 to 17:00 (Computer Lab, ground floor, Department of Business Studies-Roma Tre University, Via Silvio D'Amico, 77 -00145, Roma), Dr. Francesca Perino, Application Engineer at MathWorks, will hold a min-workshop on "Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics with MATLAB". The attendance of the course is free, but for organizational reasons it is necessary to register to register on the following web page: https://it.mathworks.com/company/events/seminars/ml-da-with-matlab-2373496.… . *Overview* *At the heart of many financial applications are machine learning techniques used for risk classification, economic analysis, credit scoring, time series forecasting, estimating default probabilities, and data mining. Big data represents an opportunity for quantitative analysts and data scientists alike to impact the way organizations make informed business decisions. By building machine learning models that harness big data, a greater level of insight and confidence can be achieved.* *However, implementing and comparing machine learning techniques to choose the best method can be challenging. Furthermore, there is no single approach to solving the many challenges arising from working with big data. MATLAB minimizes these challenges by providing you with a number of built-in functions and tools for quick prototyping, integration, and scaling, to take you from initial prototype all the way to business-critical production system.* *In this session, we will introduce ways of working with big data systems, the different types of machine learning techniques in MATLAB, how to determine the best techniques for your problem by evaluating model performance, and rapidly deploying your machine learning models into production. We will cover several new workflows and data types in MATLAB and the toolboxes that have been designed to address the most common challenges with big data analytics and machine learning.* *Highlights* *Data management and integration with databases, live market data, and big data environments* *Efficient workflows for heterogenous time-series data using new data management capabilities* *Parallel Computing techniques to speed up long-running computations and deal with out-of-memory data* *Predictive modeling and using supervised machine learning techniques to build a credit rating engine* We look forward to meeting you in Roma Tre!
