Il Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi dell’Università di Milano Bicocca (Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 MILANO) invita al seguente seminario. Venerdì 19 settembre, alle ore 11.30, nell'aula Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Statistica 4° piano, Edificio U7, il Prof. Abdelhakim Necir terrà il seguente seminario: A Kaplan-Meier process for a heavy-tail distribution toward the tail index estimation under random censoring Abdelhakim Necir Laboratory of Applied Mathematics, University Mohamed Khider of Biskra, Algeria Abstract: In the case of complete data, weak approximations to tail empirical processes for heavy-tailed distributions have been established by many authors. In this paper, we consider the random censoring setting through a tail Kaplan-Meier process and define a new estimator of the extreme value index. Under mild conditions, we establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator and, through an extensive simulation study, we investigate its performance and compare it to the adapted Hill estimator introduced by Einmahl et al. (2008). Our result will be of great interest to derive the limit distributions of many statistics based on extreme values for randomly censored data such as the estimators of tail indices, actuarial risk measures and goodness-of-fit functionals.

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, il giorno lunedì 22 Settembre 2014, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, Silvia MAGGI, IIT Genova terra' una conferenza dal titolo Integrative Analysis of Electrophysiological and Behavioral Data in the After-hour Circadian Mouse Model Abstract: Physiological and behavioural changes can occur across different timescales. Circadian rhythms include a series of oscillations with approximately 24 hours periodicity and influence different functions in different domains. We have investigated the sleep-wake cycle and cognitive timing in the After-hours (Afh) mice, which carry a single point mutation in the Fbxl3 gene resulting in a substantial lengthening of the circadian period. The analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) signals, recorded under light-dark (LD) and dark-dark (DD) schedule revealed several differences in the sleep structure and sleep homeostasis between mutants and wild-type mice. Then, we investigated whether the alteration of circadian clock and sleep affected the estimation of short intervals and timing uncertainty in decision-making behavioral tasks over 24 hours. Differences in the daily distribution of sleep between Afh mutants and controls correlate with a reduced performance in mutants, suggesting that the mutation augments the effects of sleep inertia. A Generalized Linear model of our data provided a prediction of how the circadian clock and sleep affect behavioral/cognitive measures, uncovering novel dynamics between these two processes.

Seminario di Nicolas Bousquet a Pavia

Venerdi' 19 settembre 2014, alle ore 11, presso l'aula Beltrami del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Pavia (via Ferrata 1, Pavia) Nicolas Bousquet (EDF Research and Development, Dpt. of Industrial Risk Management, Chatou) terrà il seminario dal titolo *Some ideas about prior elicitation in Bayesian risk and reliability analysis* When dealing with small samples and large uncertainties in statistical risk and reliability analysis (typically when a highly reliable industrial component is studied, or when focusing on extreme events with the appropriate statistical theory), the help of Bayesian analysis, allowing to incorporate expert assessments based on technical knowledge, past ground experiments, meta-analyses.. , can be useful. Technically, it is needed to encode prior information into one or several statistical distributions. We review here some difficulties arising in practice, both technical and from the point of view of a control authority. Some methodological ideas about how eliciting a "good" prior are discussed, especially in the context where several sampling models can be compared (and their priors must be calibrated to do so). A major idea is speaking in terms of virtual data. Applications will deals with conjugate priors, some discrete models and Weibull, Gamma and extreme values models. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Federico Bassetti Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' degli Studi di Pavia, Via Ferrata 1, 27100 Pavia, Italy E-mail federico.bassetti(a)unipv.it phone: +39 0382985633 // fax: +39 0382985602

Taniguchi's seminar at Bergamo University
by Ilia Negri 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

We are glad to invite you to the following seminar When: September 16th, 2014, 11:00 am Where: epartment of Management, Economics and quantitative Methods, Via dei Caniana n. 2 – Room 15 Title: Unified View of Portmanteau Tests for General Statistical Models Speacker: Masanobu TANIGUCHI Department of Applied Mathematics School of Science and Engineering Waseda University of Tokyo, Japan Abstract: This talk consists of the two parts (I) and (II). (I) Systematic Approach for Portmanteau Tests in View of Whittle Likelihood Ratio: Box and Pierce (1970) proposed a test statistic TBP which is the squared sum of m sample autocorrelations of the estimated residual process of autoregressive moving average model of order (p,q). TBP is called the classical portmanteau test. Under the null hypothesis that the autoregressive-moving average model of order (p,q) is adequate, they suggested that the distribution of TBP is approximated by chi-square distribution with (m-p-q) degrees of freedom, ”if m is moderately large”. This paper shows that TBP is understood as a special form of Whittle likelihood ratio test TPW for autoregressive-moving average spectral density with m-dependent residual process. Then, it is shown that, for any finite m, TPW does not converge to chi-square distribution with (m-p-q) degrees of freedom in distribution, and that, if we assume Bloomfield’s exponential spectral density TPW is asymptotically chi-square distributed for any finite m. From this observation we propose a natural Whittle likelihood ratio test TWLR which is always asymptotically chi-square distributed. Its local power is also evaluated. Numerical studies illuminate interesting features of TWLR. Because many versions of the portmanteau test have been proposed, and been used in variety of fields, our systematic approach for portmanteau tests and proposal of TWLR will give a unified view and useful applications. (II) A Unified View of Portmanteau Test for Diagnostic Checking : Here we construct a portmanteau test statistic TP as a sort of the likelihood ratio test for general statistical models based on the procedure given in (I). Then we derive sufficient conditions that the statistic is asymptotically chi-square distributed. Furthermore, it is shown that if a time series model whose spectral density has a product structure satisfies appropriate conditions, TP is asymptotically chi-square distributed. We also introduce a useful application of the test for variable selection.

By studying a dynamic asset allocation problem, we derive the optimal investment strategy in closed form and show that the combined momentum and reversal strategies are optimal. We then estimate the model to the S&P 500 and demonstrate that, by taking the timing opportunity with respect to trend in return and market volatility, the optimal strategies outperform not only pure momentum and pure mean reversion strategies, but also the market index and time series momentum strategy. Furthermore we show that the optimality also holds to the out-of-sample tests and short-sale constraints and the out performance is immune to market states, investor sentiment and market volatility.

piccolo problema sul server della lista (risolto)
by Marco Romito 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

cari iscritti c'è stato un piccolo problema sul server della lista la cui spiegazione è (cito dal messaggio dell'assistenza IT): "Nello scorso fine settimana è avvenuto un attacco al sistema mail.dm.unipi.it che, oltre a comportare l'invio di migliaia di messaggi di spam, ha determinato conseguenze che sono andate ben oltre il perimetro del semplice servizio di posta. Una serie di demoni sono stati mandati in crash in modo non pulito e quello che si occupava della gestione locale delle mailing list e` stato uno di questi." alcuni dei messaggi inviati tra il 26 luglio (presumibilmente, l'ultimo messaggio che ieri risultava nell'archivio era del 25 luglio) e ieri potrebbero non esser stati recapitati. nel caso questi non siano ancora pervenuti consiglio di procedere nel modo seguente (valido in generale qualora spediate un messaggio e non otteniate immediatamente riscontro ricevendo il vostro messaggio dalla lista): * accedere agli archivi della lista: https://mail.dm.unipi.it/private/random/ (eventualmente richiedendo la vostra password che avrete debitamente dimenticato alla pagina: https://mail.dm.unipi.it/options/random ) * verificare se il messaggio sia già presente in archivio. in caso positivo il messaggio è stato inviato e presto vi giungerà. * in caso negativo contattare gli amministratori della lista. il terzo passo della procedura non sempre funziona, come testimoniato dal duplicato del messaggio che ho spedito e di cui mi scuso a presto m.

mini-workshop "Young Researchers" a Milano-Bicocca
by Fabio Bellini 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Il giorno giovedì 17 luglio alle ore 14.30 presso la Sala del Consiglio della Scuola di Economia e Statistica, al IV piano dell'edificio U7 in via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, si terrà il mini-workshop "Young Researchers" con il seguente programma: 14.30 - 15.00 Annamaria Gambaro, Dottorato in Statistica e Matematica per la Finanza, Curriculum Matematica per la Finanza, Università di Milano-Bicocca Approximated pricing of swaptions in general interest rate models We propose a new lower bound on the prices of European-style swaptions for a wide class of interest rate models. This method is applicable whenever the joint characteristic function of the state variables is known in closed form or could be easily obtained with numerical PDE solution method. Our algorithm involves the computation of one dimensional Fourier transform indipendently from the swap length. Moreover the bound could be used as a control variable to reduce confidence interval of the Monte Carlo technique. We test our new lower bound on different affine models and on 2-factor quadratic gaussian model and the method is found to be fast and accurate (joint work with Ruggero Caldana and Gianluca Fusai). 15.00 - 15.30 Jacopo Corbetta, Dottorato in Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano-Bicocca Smile asymptotics in a multiscaling stochastic volatility model We consider a stochastic volatility model which captures some relevant stylized facts of financial series, including the so-called multiscaling of moments. We obtain sharp large deviations estimates for the price, based on a large deviations principle for suitable functionals of a point process, which is of independent interest. This yields explicit asymptotic formulas for the price of European options, and for the related implied volatility, both in the small maturity and large strike regimes. In particular, we show that implied volatility for out-of-the-money options explodes as the maturity vanishes, with an explicit limiting shape (joint work with Francesco Caravenna). 15.30 - 16.00 Alberto Santangelo, Dottorato in Statistica e Matematica per la Finanza, Curriculum Matematica per la Finanza, Università di Milano-Bicocca Measuring Portfolio Diversification Based on Optimized Uncorrelated Factors We measure diversification in terms of the "Effective Number of Minimum-Torsion Bets", namely a set of uncorrelated factors, optimized to closely track the factors used to allocate the portfolio. In this way we introduce a novel notion of "absolute risk contributions", which generalizes the "marginal contributions to risk" in traditional risk parity. We discuss the advantages of the Minimum-Torsion Bets over the traditional approach to diversification based on marginal contributions to risk. We present a case study in the S&P 500. Fully documented code is available for download (joint work with Romain Deguest and Attilio Meucci). Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario Alcuni aspetti dell'impostazione "Target-Based" alle funzioni di utilità nel caso di più "beni"
by Marco Isopi 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Nell'ambito dei seminari previsti a completamento dell'attività svolta nell'ambito del Dottorato di Ricerca in Matematica XXVI Ciclo (curriculum Matematica Applicata) Fabio Fantozzi terrà un seminario dal titolo Alcuni aspetti dell'impostazione "Target-Based" alle funzioni di utilità nel caso di più "beni" Il seminario si terrà in Aula di Consiglio, Giovedi' 10 Luglio ore 16 Sunto: Verrà inizialmente richiamato il significato dell'impostazione Target-Based alla teoria dell'utilità nelle scelte economiche in condizioni di incertezza. Tale impostazione, dapprima introdotta nel caso di un singolo "bene" è stata, nell'ultimo decennio, estesa e sviluppata per il caso di n beni. Nel seminario verranno illustrate in particolare le caratteristiche fondamentali di tale caso e ne verrà introdotta una descrizione formale. In tale ambito saranno evidenziate le connessioni con le misure di insieme monotone, non necessariamente additive (capacità), su spazi finiti e relative estensioni. In particolare analizzeremo il significato di tali estensioni in termini di copule n-dimensionali atte a descrivere la dipendenza stocastica fra le componenti di un vettore aleatorio. Quest' ultimo interviene, con il significato di "target", nella formulazione delle funzioni di utilità stesse. In relazione ai problemi di scelte economiche analizzati, verranno anche brevemente illustrati degli aspetti relativi alla nozione di "stochastic precedence". *******************************************

Avviso di seminario
by Cristina Zucca 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

A tutti gli interessati. Mercoledì 9 luglio 2014 alle ore 14.30 in AULA C (Palazzo Campana - Dip. di Matematica"G. Peano" - Univ. di Torino) il Prof. François Delarue (Université Nice Sophia-Antipolis) terrà un seminario dal titolo: The Landau Equation for Maxwellian molecules and the Brownian Motion on the group of rotations. Abstract: We show that the spatially homogeneous Landau equation for Maxwellian molecules can be represented through the product of two elementary stochastic processes. The first one is the Brownian motion on the group of rotations. The second one is, conditionally on the first one, a Gaussian process. Using this representation, we establish sharp multi-scale upper and lower bounds for the transition density of the Landau equation, the multi-scale structure depending on the shape of the support of the initial condition. -- Dr. Cristina Zucca Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto 10 10123 Torino, Italy tel: +39-011-6702850 fax: +39-011-6702878
