PhD Studentship on Large deviation principles for Random walks in Random potential
by Enrico Scalas 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Car* collegh*, al Sussex abbiamo a disposizione fondi per un progetto di dottorato di probabilita'. Maggiori informazioni sono disponibili a partire dal nostro sito: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/study/money/scholarships/pgr2015/view/535 Per comodita' riporto l'annuncio qui sotto. Vi prego di farlo circolare tra le persone potenzialmente interessate. Cordiali saluti e grazie in anticipo, Enrico Scalas -- PhD Studentship on Large deviation principles for Random walks in Random potential We are pleased to offer this fully-funded PhD studentship, available in the Department of Mathematics at University of Sussex. The project aims to understand the behaviour of various `rare events' associated with aspects of three types of growth processes, namely first and last passage percolation or random walks in random potential. In random spatial processes such as these, we have always two sources of randomness. First, we have a background random environment on a lattice that creates the `random medium' and then, under a fixed environment, we define a measure on lattice paths. The goal of the proposed project is to understand not only the typical, but most importantly the atypical behaviour of these path measures and the paths themselves, under various conditions on the random environment. The usual techniques necessary for such endeavours are drawn from various areas of Analysis (Real, Complex, Convex and Functional) and probabilistic techniques that when not completely general, are usually model dependent. The PhD project will be under the supervision of Dr Nicos Georgiou.

These methods rely on the idea of performing suitable multiscale geometric decompositions of the data, and exploiting such a decomposition to perform a variety of tasks in signal processing and statistical learning. In particular, we discuss the problem of dictionary learning, where one is interested in constructing, given a training set of signals, a set of vectors (dictionary) such that the signals admit a sparse representation in terms of the dictionary vectors. We discuss a multiscale geometric construction of such dictionaries, its computational cost and online versions, and finite sample guarantees on its quality. We then generalize part of this construction to other tasks, such as learning an estimator for the probability measure generating the data, again with fast algorithms with finite sample guarantees, and for learning certain types of stochastic dynamical system in high-dimensions. Applications to construction of multi-resolution dictionaries for images, with the incorporation of invariances, will be discussed. -- ___________________________________________ INVESTI SUL FUTURO, FAI CRESCERE L’UNIVERSITÀ: *DONA IL 5 PER MILLE ALLA SAPIENZA* CODICE FISCALE *80209930587*

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Ph.D. studentship in Statistical Sciences at the University of Padua - Italy
by Patrizia Piacentini - PhD 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

As a partner of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Innovative Training Network called "Advanced Multivariate Analysis for New Physics Searches at the Large Hadron Collider" (AMVA4NewPhysics), the University of Padua offers a PhD scholarship in Statistical Sciences. The early-stage researcher recipient of the scholarship will be enrolled in the three-year PhD program offered by the Department of Statistical Sciences. The research will focus on statistical methods targeting the analysis of data from proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider operating at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The research plan includes the participation to international doctoral schools, workshops, and conferences, as well as visiting periods to CERN and to other European institutions belonging to the Network, plus a three-month secondment at a non-academic institution, attending to a stage centered on industry applications of Machine Learning tools. *Eligibility criteria:*Candidates should have an at least four year full time university education degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Physics or related fields formally enabling them to embark in a doctorate program in the country where the degree was obtained; in any case they should possess a strong background in Statistics and Machine Learning. Additional favorable traits include good computing skills and an interest in the application of statistical methods to fundamental research. The application of females is encouraged as AMVA4NewPhysics applies affirmative-action measures to ensure gender equality in the recruitment process. In addition to the above, at the time of recruitment by University of Padova the eligible candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in Italy for more than 12 months in the period October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2015 (short stays such as holidays are not taken into account).Eligible candidates must also be, at the time of recruitment, in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in Italy, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged. *Conditions:*The gross scholarship amounts to 3318 euros/month; in addition, a mobility allowance of euro 600/month is provided for, as well as a family allowance of euro 500/month if applicable. The cost of the doctoral courses, as well as all expenses related to travel to schools, workshops, and network-organized events, will be sustained by the network. Call for applications is expected to open in mid August; after a preselection, the most promising candidates will be invited to a colloquium by video-conference at the beginning of October. The PhD program is expected to start at the beginning of November 2015. Further information on the position and on the program of the AMVA4NewPhysics training network can be obtained at_https://homes.stat.unipd.it/giovannamenardi/content/amva4newphysics-0_ or by contacting Dr. Giovanna Menardi at menardi AT stat DOT unipd DOT it

The gluing copula approach may be of good help in decomposing a complex non monotone dependence into easier to model piecewise monotone dependencies. This is good news for the vine copula approach since bivariate copulas are building blocks of such approach in higher dimensions. An application to real data in economics and geophysics will be discussed.

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, in collaborazione col centro ADAMSS e il CIMAB, il giorno lunedì 13 Luglio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Not just theory: the role of computational neuroscience in clinical neurophysiology" Pietro Balbi Dept. of Neurorehabilitation 'Salvatore Maugeri' Foundation Scientific Institute of Pavia, IRCCS via Boezio 28 Abstract: Neurocomputational modelling has the ultimate goal of enhancing the understanding of the behavior of neural cells and circuits. This aim is usually reached by starting from the experimental phenomena, then by postulating hypotheses or conceptual models of the biophysical events, and finally by transforming them in computational models. The conversion of experimental data in neurocomputational models takes mainly advantage of two well established mathematical theories: the cable conductor theory and the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. In this seminar the considered experimental phenomena are represented by the axon-somatic back-propagation and the recurrent discharge, which are the basis of a clinical test known as the F wave. This is a neurophysiological test commonly used to assess the motor conduction along the most proximal segments of the peripheral axons. It results from the backfiring of antidromically activated spinal motoneurons. Until recently the test has been also used as a measure of motoneuronal excitability in experimental studies. By modelling the axon-somatic back-propagation and the recurrent discharge and by showing their dependance from the biophysical properties of the transition zone between axonal initial segment (AIS) and soma of the spinal motoneurons, a clearer insight is gained about the relations between the F wave and the spinal excitability. The modelling study appears able to provide both a clearer interpretation of the electrophysiological interplay between motoneuronal regions of high morphological inhomogeneity, and a novel demonstration of the flawed role of F-wave recordings in estimating the motoneuronal excitability. ================ Per chi volesse seguire il seminario in remoto ricordo inoltre che sarà possibile avendo segnalato il proprio interessamento entro le 12 del giorno del seminario. ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems.

Seminario di Flavia Barsotti presso Prometeia - Bologna
by Giacomo Scandolo 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Il giorno Giovedì 2 Luglio 2015, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna Flavia BARSOTTI Risk Methodologies, Group Financial Risk, Group Risk Management, UniCredit S.p.A. terrà un seminario dal titolo "Credit risk evaluation: performance and determinants of structural modeling approach" Abstract Structural credit risk models are known to be the natural mathematical framework providing a theoretical link between a firm’s default probability and the underlying firm’s specific structural variables. In this spirit, this talk discusses the ability of structural credit risk modeling in measuring the sensitivity of corporate bond returns to changes in equity value, representing a key element for hedging purposes in risk management activity. The analysis is conducted by considering as starting point the classical Merton model. Extensions of this setting are proposed by relaxing the assumption of Lognormal distribution for the underlying assets value dynamics. The talk discusses the performance of structural models across different rating classes and analyzes which are the key determinants (both credit and non-credit related variables) affecting the performance. --- Questa e-mail è priva di virus e malware perché è attiva la protezione avast!

Seminar Prof. Jorge Zubelli in Padova
by Giorgia Callegaro 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Dear all, next week, the 3rd July 2015, Prof. Jorge Zubelli (IMPA, Rio De Janeiro) will give a seminar on Real Options (Mathematics/Probability applied to Finance) from 12am to 13 am, in room 2BC30 at "Torre Archimede" (Dep. of Mathematics, University of Padova). More details, i.e., the title and abstract follow: Title: "Project evaluation and Real Option Analysis: A Hedged Monte Carlo Approach" Abstract: Industrial strategic decisions have evolved tremendously in the last decades towards a higher degree of quantitative analysis. Such decisions require taking into account a large number of uncertain variables and volatile scenarios, much like financial market investments. Furthermore, they can be evaluated by comparing portfolios of investments in financial assets such as in stocks, derivatives and commodity futures. This revolution led to the development of a new field of managerial science known as Real Options. The use of Real Option techniques incorporates also the value of flexibility and gives a broader view of many business decisions that brings in techniques from quantitative finance and risk management. Such techniques are now part of the decision making process of many corporations and require a substantial amount of mathematical background. Yet, there has been substantial debate concerning the use of risk neutral pricing and hedging arguments to the context of project evaluation. We discuss some alternatives to risk neutral pricing that could be suitable to evaluation of projects in a realistic context with special attention to projects dependent on commodities and non-hedgeable uncertainties. More precisely, we make use of a variant of the hedged Monte-Carlo method of Potters, Bouchaud and Sestovic to tackle strategic decisions. Thanks for the attention and have a nice day, Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Seminario Dottor Enrico Moretto all'IMATI
by Antonella Bodini 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Si comunica che il giorno 2 luglio alle ore 10.30, presso la sala A della sede di Milano dell'IMATI, Via E. Bassini 15, il Dottor Enrico Moretto, dell'Universita' dell'Insubria, terra' il seminario dal titolo *Alcune applicazioni finanziarie dello stochastic dividend discount model.* Abstract: lo /stochastic dividend discount model/ (SDDM) (Hurley e Johnson, 1994 e 1998) ha esteso in un contesto aleatorio la classica formula di Gordon che determina il prezzo di un'azione attualizzando i futuri dividendi pagati dalla società agli azionisti. Il modello ipotizza che i dividendi si evolvano in tempo discreto in maniera stocastica, pilotati da un tasso di crescita aleatorio. I contributi di ricerca che saranno presentati rappresentano il tentativo di applicare lo SDDM ad alcuni problemi ben noti in finanza, quali la teoria di selezione del portafoglio e l'analisi delle fusioni tra società. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Antonella Bodini -- Dott.

No Free Lunch Seminar by Roberto Casarin, Thu July 2 1:00 PM Aula Bianchi @ SNS
by Giacomo Bormetti 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear all, Thu Jul 2 2015, 1:00 PM in Aula Bianchi, Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa Roberto Casarin Department of Economics - Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia will deliver the seminar "Bayesian Nonparametric Calibration and Combination of Predictive Distributions" Abstract: We introduce a Bayesian approach to predictive density calibration and combination that accounts for parameter uncertainty and model set incompleteness through the use of random calibration functionals and random combination weights. Building on the work of Ranjan and Gneiting (2010) and Gneiting and Ranjan (2013), we use infinite beta mixtures for the calibration. The proposed Bayesian nonparametric approach takes advantage of the flexibility of Dirichlet process mixtures to achieve any continuous deformation of linearly combined predictive distributions. The inference procedure is based on Gibbs sampling and allows accounting for uncertainty in the number of mixture components, mixture weights, and calibration parameters. The weak posterior consistency of the Bayesian nonparametric calibration is provided under suitable conditions for unknown true density. We study the methodology in simulation examples with fat tails and multimodal densities and apply it to density forecasts of daily S&P returns and daily maximum wind speed at the Frankfurt airport. Joint work with Federico Bassetti and Francesco Ravazzolo. All interested people are kindly invited.

MERCOLEDI' 24 GIUGNO, PRESSO IL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA DELLA SAPIENZA, VI SARANNO 2 SEMINARI DI PROBABILITA', CO-ORGANIZZATI DA ROMA1 E ROMA3. Riporto sotto i dettagli Grazie per l'attenzione Alessandra Faggionato Mercoledi' 24 Giugno, ore 14:30 Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica (La Sapienza) Seminario congiunto di Probabilita' (Roma1 e Roma 3) Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Cambdrige) Title: Fluctuation results for Hastings-Levitov planar growth Abstract: In 1998 the physicists Hastings and Levitov introduced a family of continuum models to describe a range of physical phenomena of planar aggregation/diffusion. These consist of growing random clusters on the complex plane, which are built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. It was shown by Norris and Turner (2012) that in the case of i.i.d. maps the limiting shape of these clusters is a disc: in this talk I will show that the fluctuations around this shape are given by a random holomorphic Gaussian field F on {|z| > 1}, of which I will provide an explicit construction. When the cluster is allowed to grow indefinitely, I will show that the boundary values of F converge to a distribution-valued Fractional Gaussian Field on the unit circle, which is log-correlated, and critical in a sense that I will explain. **************************************************************************************************************** Mercoledi' 24 Giugno, ore 15:30 Aula Picone, Dipartimento di Matematica (La Sapienza) Seminario congiunto di Probabilita' (Roma1 e Roma 3) Speaker: Oriane Blondel (Lione) Title: Random walk on the East model (and other environments with spectral gap) Abstract: The East model is a one-dimensional interacting particle system with non attractive spin-flip dynamics. In the physics literature, it is a key example of a model with glassy features. Here we take this model as a random environment and investigate the behaviour of a random walk whose jump rates depend on the current configuration. The analysis relies on general results established for random walks in random environment when the environment is Markovian with positive spectral gap.

June 19th 2015, 11.30h Agustin Mayo Iscar talks on Robust Model based clustering
by Francesca Greselin 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

On June 19th 2015, 11.30h at Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Sala del Consiglio (edificio U7, 4° piano, 4064) Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 – 20126 Milano Agustín Mayo-Iscar - Universidad de Valladolid and IMUVA will give a talk on “Robust model-based clustering and mixture modeling by using trimming and restrictions” Abstract The use of trimming procedures is common in many statistical settings to achieve robustness against outlying observations. Notably, to obtain robustness in model-based clustering and mixture modeling, the only adoption of trimming is not enough. Constraints on the scatters, corresponding to the clusters or to the mixture components, are needed too. The talk presents robust methodology based on the joint application of trimming and feasible restrictions for different clusters and mixture models settings. As it is typical in all proposals designed for this aim, some input parameter needs to chosen, to set the trimming level and the scatter constraints. Data driven tools for helping the user in choosing such values will be also presented. for more info: e-mail: francesca.greselin(a)unimib.it http://www.dismeq.unimib.it

SEMINARIO Prof. Elliott Lieb Princeton University (with Mathieu Lewin, C.N.R.S.) Titolo: Indirect Coulomb Energy with Gradient Correction Martedi' 16 Giugno 2015 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula F, primo piano, edificio Aule Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract We prove a Lieb-Oxford-type inequality on the indirect part of the Coulomb energy (also known as the exchange-correlation energy) of a general many-particle quantum state, with a lower constant than the original statement but involving an additional gradient correction. The result is similar to an inequality of Benguria, Bley and Loss, except that our correction term is purely local, which is more usual for density functional theory. No previous knowledge of the subject will be assumed; a short tutorial on the subject and its importance to quantum chemistry will be presented.

Tomovski (University of Skopje) Title: *Complete monotonicity of the Mittag-Leffler functions and Opial type inequalities for fractional differential and integral operators involving Mittag-Leffler functions * Abstract: Completely monotonic functions have applications in different areas of mathematics, for instance, in potential theory, probability theory, numerical and asymptotic analysis and combinatorics, modeling by anomalous diffusion, etc. In this talk we'll present some recent new results on complete monotonicity of three parameter Mittag-Leffler functions, defined by Prabhakar. In 1960, Opial established an integral inequality, which is a fundamental result in the theory of differential or difference equations and other areas of mathematics. Opial-type integral inequalities were considered for different kinds of fractional derivatives and fractional integral operators for example Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, Canavati, etc. We'll presents a class of very general weighted Opial type integral inequalities using integral and differential operators with kernels in fractional calculus involving generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. Namely, ineteresting Opial type inequalities will be given for Hilfer, Prabhakar, Hilfer-Prabhakar, Caputo-Prabhakar and other differential and integral operators in fractional calculus.

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL COLLOQUIUM - MICHEL LEDOUX - TOR VERGATA - 17 GIUGNO Mercoledi` 17 giugno ore 15:30 Aula Dal Passo Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Michel Ledoux Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier Title: How does the heat equation explore geometric and functional inequalities? Abstract: Heat flow monotonicity is a powerful tool towards families of functional inequalities, from the classical Hölder inequality and its multilinear Brascamp-Lieb extensions to entropic and isoperimetric inequalities. The talk will feature some of these examples, as well as recent developments on noise stability in Boolean analysis and their application to the "Majority is Stablest" theorem. Al termine del colloquium è previsto un rinfresco nell'atrio vicino l'aula Dal Passo. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario Bourguin a Tor Vergata - Cambio Data
by Claudio Durastanti 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Si annuncia un cambio di data del seminario del dottor Bourguin a Lunedì 15 Giugno - 14:30 Aula D'Antoni Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Annuncio Seminario Dott. Solesne Bourguin, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh Aula Dal Passo - Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Tor Vergata - Roma Title: Recent developments on the Poisson chaos conjecture. Abstract: In this talk, I will talk about past, recent and ongoing developments linked to the Poisson chaos conjecture whose object is to assess whether or not a fourth moment type theorem holds on the Poisson chaos. Since 2008, only the case of the first and second chaos had been proven and it is of both theoretical as well as applicative interest to better understand the underlying combinatorics of the Poisson chaos for higher orders. I will cover the case of the third chaos where the conjecture is proven to be true and I will present some promising attempts at understanding the general case. Cordiali saluti Claudio Durastanti
