Master Mathématiques et Apprentissage Statistique all'Università di Versailles
by Cecilia Mancini 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

Inoltro questa informazione su un nuovo Master che partirà il prossimo Settembre all’Université Versailles Saint Quentin<http://www.uvsq.fr/>. A chi fosse interessato posso mandare i flyers sotto menzionati Saluti, Cecilia Da: Ester Mariucci <ester.mariucci(a)uvsq.fr> stiamo aprendo un nuovo Master (M1+M2) a Versailles. Si chiama Mathématiques et Apprentissage Statistique, Math&AS. Fa parte della Graduate School dell’Università Paris-Saclay ed é un “Master Recherche ouvert à l’entreprise”. Per essere chiari : é teorico ma non tanto quanto i master di Orsay, permette di andare subito a lavorare ma non é un master in alternance. Durante l’M1 i corsi sono teorici - ma comunque globalmente più di statistica applicata che matematica - (statistica matematica, machine Learning, modelli lineari, ottimizzazione, analisi dei dati, etc…) e c’é un po’ di informatica. Il secondo anno ci saranno dei corsi fatti da data scientists, e poi vari corsi avanzati sempre di machine learning e statistica. L’insegnamento é in francese, ci sono 2 stages di sei mesi ciascuno, uno per anno (quindi bisogna davvero parlare bene francese). Dato che la formazione debutta a Settembre cerco di diffondere la notizia il più possibile…non si sa mai che tu conosca studenti francofoni (o che se la cavano sufficientemente bene) potenzialmente interessati! Ti allego i flyers che abbiamo fatto per l’UVSQ e per Saclay con le informazioni sui programmi. Ci sono borse (anche per stranieri) : https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/admission/bourses-et-aides-financier…; https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/fr/master-bourses-de-master/master-401-ap… e le candidature per iscriversi al master sono tra il 15 marzo e il 15 maggio. Sto ancora aspettando che il sito ufficiale di Saclay sia visibile, qui ci sono alcune informazioni : http://www.departement.math.uvsq.fr/masterMathAS Un caro saluto, Ester

seminar: "Random structures and patterns in spatio-temporal data: probabilistic modelling and statistical inference", Radu Stoica, 12 April
by Umberto Picchini 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University, Sweden. On Tuesday April 12, Radu Stoica <https://sites.google.com/site/radustefanstoica/> will talk of: ///"Random structures and patterns in spatio-temporal data: probabilistic modelling and statistical inference"/ / / //*About the speaker: *Radu Stoica <https://sites.google.com/site/radustefanstoica/> is professor at Université de Lorraine, France. He is interested in probabilistic modeling and statistical inference for the analysis of spatio-temporal data // //* * *Abstract:* The useful information carried by spatio-temporal data is often outlined by geometric structures and patterns. Filaments or clusters induced by galaxy positions in our Universe are such an example. Two situations are to be considered. First, the pattern of interest is hidden in the data set, hence the pattern should be detected. Second, the structure to be studied is observed, so relevant characterization of it should be done. Probabilistic modelling is one of the approaches that allows to furnish answers to these questions. This is done by developing unitary methodologies embracing simultaneously three directions: modelling, simulation and inference. This talk presents the use of marked point processes applied to the detection and to the characterization of such structures. Practical examples are also shown.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64160866575 Password: 024139 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 12 April at 14.30-15.30*(Stockholm time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Daria Ghilli - April 11 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Daria Ghilli (Università di Pavia) Title: A mean field game model in economics with spatial interactions in the human capital Abstract: We study an economic model where each agent chooses its position in space and its level of human capital maximizing its own utility and interacts with the other agents through the human capital. The main peculiarity of the model we consider consists in the presence of a spatial interaction term in the dynamic of the human capital, i.e. spatial spillovers on the accumulation of human capital and in the utility, i.e. spatial spillovers on the consumption. We adopt a Mean Field Game (MFG) approach and study a system of two partial differential equations, the MFG system, which arises as the continuum macroscopic description of the discrete multi-agents system emerging, heuristically, as the limit as the number of agents tends to infinity. The MFG system we study is expected to approximate Nash equilibria for the discrete multi-agents system when the number of players tends to infinity. This is a joint work with C. Ricci (Pisa) and G. Zanco (LUISS). Date and time: Monday April 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09> ID riunione: 831 9011 0958 Passcode: 384911 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome! Best regards The organizers (Mario Maurelli, Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella)

Seminar in Pisa: Ruojun Huang
by Francesco Grotto 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) to be held Wednesday (April 6th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 6th, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) Title: Coagulation under environmental noise Abstract: Environmental noise in a continuum interacting particle system is a space-dependent noise acting on all particles simultaneously. We prove that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses, subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation, converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) with Smoluchowski-type nonlinearity. It partially extends a result of Hammond-Rezakhanlou (2007) who considered the PDE case, with our motivation coming from trying to understand the effect of turbulence on rain formations. Based on a joint work with Franco Flandoli.

Seminario Caponera Tor Vergata
by Domenico Marinucci 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Cari colleghi venerdì prossimo 1 aprile alle ore 15.30 avrà luogo presso il Dipartimento di Matematica di Roma Tor Vergata il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aula 1200, Edificio Sogene Speaker: Alessia Caponera (EPFL) Title: Nonparametric Estimation of Covariance and Autocovariance Operators on the Sphere Abstract: We propose nonparametric estimators for the second-order central moments of spherical random fields within a functional data context. We consider a measurement framework where each field among an identically distributed collection of spherical random fields is sampled at a few random directions, possibly subject to measurement error. The collection of fields could be i.i.d. or serially dependent. Though similar setups have already been explored for random functions defined on the unit interval, the nonparametric estimators proposed in the literature often rely on local polynomials, which do not readily extend to the (product) spherical setting. We therefore formulate our estimation procedure as a variational problem involving a generalized Tikhonov regularization term. The latter favours smooth covariance/autocovariance functions, where the smoothness is specified by means of suitable Sobolev-like pseudo-differential operators. Using the machinery of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, we establish representer theorems that fully characterize the form of our estimators. We determine their uniform rates of convergence as the number of fields diverges, both for the dense (increasing number of spatial samples) and sparse (bounded number of spatial samples) regimes. We moreover validate and demonstrate the practical feasibility of our estimation procedure in a simulation setting. Based on a joint work with Julien Fageot, Matthieu Simeoni and Victor M.

Padua Probability Seminar: Jodi Dianetti (this Friday)
by Markus 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Dear All, This Friday,*Jodi Dianetti* (Center for Mathematical Economics, Bielefeld University) will give a seminar talk on Submodular mean field games, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Friday, April 1, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: Submodular mean field games: Existence and approximation of solutions * Abstract: We study mean field games with scalar Itô-type dynamics and costs that are submodular with respect to a suitable order relation on the state and measure space. The submodularity assumption has a number of interesting consequences. Firstly, it allows us to prove existence of solutions via an application of Tarski's fixed point theorem, covering cases with discontinuous dependence on the measure variable. Secondly, it ensures that the set of solutions enjoys a lattice structure: in particular, there exist a minimal and a maximal solution. Thirdly, it guarantees that those two solutions can be obtained through a simple learning procedure based on the iterations of the best-response-map. Our approach also allows to treat submodular mean field games with common noise, as well as mean field games with singular controls, optimal stopping and reflecting boundary conditions. This talks is based on some joint works together with Giorgio Ferrari, Markus Fischer and Max Nendel.

Seminar in Pisa: Giulia Carigi

29 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held next Wednesday (March 30th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: March 30, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

Fwd: [PRISMA] seminari di Enrico Scalas e Giacomo Ascione
by Domenico Marinucci 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Cari colleghi scusandomi per eventuali messaggi multipli, vi mando le informazioni sui prossimi seminari online del Gruppo UMI Prisma (lunedì 4 aprile), con i contributi di Enrico Scalas e Giacomo Ascione: * April 4, 2022, 16:00-17:00 (CET): Enrico Scalas TITLE: Point processes and time change: A fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process and its functional limits ABSTRACT: A fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process was introduced by a time change of the nonhomogeneous Poisson process with the inverse α-stable subordinator. A similar definition is proposed for the (nonhomogeneous) fractional compound Poisson process. Both finite-dimensional and functional limit theorems are presented for the fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process and the fractional compound Poisson process. The results are derived by using martingale methods, regular variation properties and Anscombe’s theorem. Some of the limiting results are verified in a Monte Carlo simulation. Papers: [1] Nikolai Leonenko, Enrico Scalas and Mailan Trinh, The fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process. Statistics and Probability Letters, 120, 2017, pp. 147-156. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.spl.2016.09.024 https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.03965 [2] Nikolai Leonenko, Enrico Scalas and Mailan Trinh, Limit theorems for the fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process, Journal of Applied Probability , 56:1, 2019 , pp. 246 - 264. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/jpr.2019.16 https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.08768 This is joint work with Nikolai Leonenko and Mailan Trinh. * April 4, 2022, 17:00-18:00 (CET): Giacomo Ascione TITLE: Spectral methods for time-changed birth-death processes ABSTRACT: In this talk we focus on a class of semi-Markov birth-death processes obtained by means of a time-change of some standard birth-death process. Precisely, we consider as parent processes the immigration-death process and the Meixner process, whose stationary distributions are respectively the Poisson and the Pascal distributions. Exploiting, on one hand, the properties of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials (in particular, the self-duality property), while, on the other, characterizing the eigenfunctions of some non-local operators by means of the Laplace transform of an inverse subordinator, we are able to explicitly express the spectral decomposition of the transition probability function of the aforementioned processes. The latter expression is then used to prove existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for a class of time-nonlocal Cauchy problems in a suitable Banach sequence space and the probabilistic interpretation of such equations as some sort of non-local backward/forward Kolmogorov equations. Finally, a comparison with the time-changed diffusion case is carried out by referring to the spectral decomposition of the probability density function of time-changed Pearson diffusions. The latter argument hints at the possibility of applying this kind of spectral methods to a wider range of problems. This is the result of joint work with Nikolai Leonenko from Cardiff University and Enrica Pirozzi from University of Naples.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 1 Aprile 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Alexandra Carpentier* (University of Potsdam) Title: *Optimal ranking in crowd-sourcing* Abstract: Consider a crowd sourcing problem where we have n experts and d tasks. The average ability of each expert for each task is stored in an unknown matrix M, which is only observed in noise and incompletely. We make no (semi) parametric assumptions, but assume that both experts and tasks can be perfectly ranked: so that if an expert is better than another, she performs on average better on all tasks than the other - and that the same holds for the tasks. This implies that if the matrix M is permuted so that the experts and tasks are perfectly ranked, then the permuted matrix M is bi-isotonic. We focus on the problem of recovering the optimal ranking of the experts in l_2 norm, when the questions are perfectly ranked. We provide a minimax-optimal and computationally feasible method for this problem, based on hierarchical clustering, PCA, and exchange of informations among the clusters. We prove in particular - in the case where d > n - that the problem of estimating the expert ranking is significantly easier than the problem of estimating the matrix M. This talk is based on joint work with Emmanuel Pilliat and Nicolas Verzelen. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/Z3MVuM7MixQHxrmF6 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81557586058?pwd=SllnbU8wcDh4M2pFNEEvQkk5Q2VqUT09> Meeting ID: 815 5758 6058 Passcode: 518172 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

The method is based on the idea of deriving an approximate posterior density aiming to target the true (unavailable) posterior by running massive simulations from the model for different parameters to replace the intractable likelihood, choosing then those parameters whose simulations are good matches to the observed data. When applying ABC to stochastic models, the derivation of effective summary statistics and proper distances is particularly challenging, since simulations from the model under the same parameter configuration result in different output. Moreover, since exact simulation from complex stochastic models is rarely possible, reliable numerical methods need to be applied. In this talk, we show how to use the underlying structural properties of the model to construct specific ABC summaries that are less sensitive to the intrinsic stochasticity of the model, and the importance of adopting reliable property-preserving numerical (splitting) schemes for the synthetic data generation. Indeed, the commonly used Euler-Maruyama scheme may drastically fail even with very small stepsizes. The proposed approach is illustrated first on the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo model, and then on the broad class of partially observed Hamiltonian stochastic differential equations, in particular on the stochastic Jensen-and-Rit neural mass model, both with simulated and with real electroencephalography (EEG) data, for both one neural population [2] and a network of neural populations (ongoing work).

(PMS)^2 online talk: Luisa Andreis
by margherita Zanella 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) Title: Phase transitions in random graphs and coagulation processes. Abstract: Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos–Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a typeand edges are present independently according to the type of the vertices thatthey are connecting. In the sparse regime, these graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdos–Renyi model. We will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelationphase transition in coagulation processes and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K\"onig (WIAS and TUBerlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini(WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS).

PEANO" UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO *con il supporto della fondazione CRT* ********************************************************************* https://sites.google.com/view/torinostochastics/seminar-series-on-data-scie… Nell'ambito delle attività seminariali del Dottorato in Modeling and Data Science, *Giovedì 24 Marzo 2022 alle ore 17:00* in Aula Magna presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, il Prof. *Giacomo Aletti* (Dipartimento di Scienze e Politiche Ambientali, Università degli studi di Milano) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Mathematical, numerical and statistical problems in the analysis of probabilistic counting of distinct elements* Abstract: Data streams are sequences of objects that cannot be available for random access but must be analyzed sequentially when they arrive and immediately discharged. One of the main applications in streaming algorithms concerns the problem of counting the number F0 of distinct elements in a stream, when the information that can be stored is of the order of the logarithm of the quantity of interest F0. In this seminar, the Flajolet-Martin class of probabilistic algorithms is analyzed from a probabilistic point of view, thus opening several computational, statistical, and mathematical problems. Connections with some consolidated theories will be shown. The results presented may be found in Aletti G. Analytical Confidence Intervals for the Number of Different Objects in Data Streams. Big Data Research, Volume 25, 2021 . Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. E' possibile seguire il seminario on line su piattaforma WebEx. *Chi fosse interessato, può mandarmi una email e provvederò a inviare l'invito (con il link)* Cordiali saluti -- %------------------------------------------------------- Elvira Di Nardo Dept.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Langxuan Su (Duke University) to be held next Wednesday in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto ------------------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: March 23, 2022, 15:00 CET Speaker: Langxuan Su (Duke University) Title: A Large Deviation Approach to Posterior Consistency in Dynamical Systems Abstract: We provide asymptotic results concerning (generalized) Bayesian inference for certain dynamical systems based on a large deviation approach. Given a sequence of observations, a class of parametrized model processes and a loss function, we specify the generalized posterior distribution. We state conditions on the model family and the loss function such that the posterior distribution converges. The two conditions we require are: (1) a conditional large deviation behavior for a single model process, and (2) an exponential continuity condition over the model family for the map from the parameter to the loss incurred between a model process and the observations. The proposed framework is quite general, we apply it to two very different classes of dynamical systems: continuous time hypermixing processes and Gibbs processes on shifts of finite type. We also show that the generalized posterior distribution concentrates asymptotically on those parameters that minimize the expected loss and a divergence term, hence proving posterior consistency.
