24 May '17

Nell'ambito del ciclo di seminari di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica del Dipartimento di Matematica, Univ. La Sapienza, il Prof. Ehud Lehrer (Tel Aviv University) terra' un seminario di carattere piuttosto introduttivo circa la tematica delle misure di probabilità monotone (non necessariamente additive). Esattamente il titolo e' *Non-additive probability, integration and decision making* Giovedi' 25 maggio, ore 15, Aula di Consiglio Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate ad intervenire Abstract:* Frequently a decision maker (DM) does not have a full information about the underlying uncertainty. For instance, the information about the probability of some events might be missing, or the probability distribution might fail to be additive. In this talk I will present non-additive probabilities, describe a few methods of integration with respect to these probabilities and how one may use these schemes in decision making.* -- ___________________________________________ *Il tuo 5 diventa 1000* Fai crescere la tua università Dona il 5 per mille alla Sapienza Codice fiscale: *80209930587*

seminario Ruodu Wang in Bicocca
by fabio.bellini 21 May '17

21 May '17

Il giorno martedì 30 maggio alle ore 16.30, presso la Aula Seminari del DISMEQ al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il prof. Ruodu Wang della Università di Waterloo terrà un seminario su A theory for measures of tail risk Abstract The notion of “tail risk” has been a crucial consideration in modern risk management. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the tail risk, we carry out an axiomatic study for risk measures which quantify the tail risk, that is, the behavior of a risk beyond a certain quantile. Such risk measures are referred to as tail risk measures in this talk. The two popular classes of regulatory risk measures in banking and insurance, the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and the Expected Shortfall (ES), are prominent, yet elementary, examples of tail risk measures. We establish a connection between a tail risk measure and a corresponding law-invariant risk measure, called its generator, and investigate their joint properties. A tail risk measure inherits many properties from its generator, but not subadditivity or convexity; nevertheless, a tail risk measure is coherent if and only if its generator is coherent. We explore further relevant issues on tail risk measures, such as bounds, distortion risk measures, risk aggregation, elicitability, and dual representations. In particular, there is no elicitable tail convex risk measure other than the essential supremum, and under a continuity condition, the only elicitable and positively homogeneous monetary tail risk measures are the VaRs. The study on tail risk measures brings in new tools and insights for prudent risk management as highlighted in the recent Basel documents on financial regulation. This talk focuses on mathematical developments of the theory (joint work with Fangda Liu). Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Fabio Bellini

4th ISNPS Conference, Salerno, Italy, 11-15 June 2018
by Brunero Liseo 19 May '17

19 May '17

ISNPS - International Society for Non-Parametric Statistics Dear Colleagues, Following the successful ISNPS Conferences in Chalkidiki (Greece) in 2012, Cadiz (Spain) in 2014 and Avignon (France) last year, and the successful ISNPS workshop in Graz (Austria) in 2015, we are pleased to announce that the 4th ISNPS Conference will take place in Salerno, 11 - 15 June 2018. Salerno is located in the south of Italy, 30 miles from Naples (40/55 minutes from Naples's airport by train or by direct bus), but also easily reachable from Rome (2 hours from Rome Fiumicino Airport by high-speed trains). Salerno is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was the seat of the oldest medical school in Europe, the Schola Medica Salernitana, the most important source of medical knowledge in Europe in the early Middle Ages, regarded by many as one of the forerunners of modern Universities. Salerno is situated in the middle of two enchanting coasts, the Amalfi and Cilento coasts. It has several touristic attractions and museums, together with a beautiful promenade, and it is well connected with many of the most famous touristic sites in Southern Italy, all easily reachable by train, bus or ferry. Within half an hour, conference participants will be able to get to small picturesque towns with splendid coastal views like Amalfi, Positano, Ravello or important archaeological sites of ancient Greek and Roman ages, such as Paestum, Pompei or Ercolano. It will take a little more to get to Naples (one of the favourite destinations for all tourists who love spending their holidays in cities of artistic interest), Capri and Ischia islands or to discover beautiful natural landscapes like the Vesuvio volcano or the Cilento National Park. Just like in past editions, the 4th ISNPS conference will put together recent advances and trends in several areas of nonparametric statistics. The conference will be a perfect place to facilitate the exchange of research ideas, promote collaboration among researchers from all over the world and contribute to the further development of the field. The scientific program (scheduled from 11 June to 15 June 2018, with a pause on the 13th) will include plenary talks, special invited talks, invited sessions as well as contributed talks and posters on all areas of nonparametric statistics. If you have any questions, please contact isnps2018(a)unisa.it. A link to the conference website will soon be available. Looking forward to seeing you at ISNPS 2018!

In this context, it invites applications for - three temporary Professorships (W2) for 5 years to be filled as soon as possible. To some of these positions, a tenure-track option is associated, and, in exceptional cases, a position may be tenured immediately. Alternatively, the W2-positions will come with reduced teaching load (4 hours per week). Furthermore, within this newly established research group there is an opening for - three research positions (E13) for 3 years for Postdocs. The positioning of the research group at the interface of two clusters of excellence is expected to provide a unique opportunity to develop new and challenging mathematical models with a significant impact on the understanding of the immune system and immune-mediated diseases. The new research group shall engage in efficient modeling of the complex processes in medical and life sciences as well as in the mathematical analysis of the involved mathematical structures. The range of possible topics includes -- but is not limited to -- the analysis of information processing, the dynamics of the immune response, modeling and optimization of treatment protocols, or the interplay with genetics, sparse data problems in single cell approaches, modeling and integration of multi-layer genomics data, predicting and modeling cell behavior from perturbation experiments, analysis of two to three-dimensional images including dynamic images in the context of immune responses. Applicants for both kind of positions should have a strong research background in applied mathematics or theoretical life sciences, and a proven record and interest in mathematical modeling in close collaboration with experimental researchers in life sciences. Active cooperation in the excellent environment of both clusters is expected. Depending on the respective research focus, candidates become members of one of the mathematical institutes, or the Life & Medical Sciences Institute (LIMES) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, or the Bonn Institutes of Immunosciences and Infection of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bonn. Formal requirements are regulated by §36 of the Higher Education Act of North-Rhine Westphalia (Hochschulgesetz des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen). Applications should be sent, using our online application form https://hcm.uni-bonn.de/hcm-immunosensation/ by 1 July 2017 for the W2-professor positions and for the postdoc positions by 1 October 2017 to Prof. Dr. Anton Bovier, Institute for Applied Mathematics, Endenicher Allee 60, D-53115 Bonn, Germany. _______________________________________________ St-net mailing list St-net(a)zib.de https://listserv.zib.de/mailman/listinfo/st-net --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dies ist das ST-NET, der (moderierte) Mail-Verteiler der DMV-Fachgruppe Stochastik e.V.

Annuncio Seminario di Probabilita, Pisa, Universita' di Pisa Martedi' 23 maggio, ore 11:15, Aula Seminari Seminario di Probabilita’ SPEAKER: Christian Olivera (UNICAMP), Instituto de Matemática, Estatística e Computação Científica (IMECC) TITLE: Regularization by noise in (2x 2) hyperbolic systems of conservation law. ABSTRACT: In this talk we study a non-strictly hyperbolic system of conservation law by stochastic perturbation. We show existence and uniqueness of the solution. We do not assume $BV$-regularity for the initial conditions. The proofs are based on the concept of entropy solution and on the method of charactteristics (under the influence of noise). This is the first result on the regularization by noise in hyperbolic systems of conservation law. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

de Finetti seminar, 17 Maggio, Bayraktar
by Marco Maggis 15 May '17

15 May '17

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Erhan Bayraktar University of Michigan TITLE: MINI-FLASH CRASHES AND MODEL MISSPECIFICATION ABSTRACT: Why do mini-flash crashes occur? Human errors, endogenous feedback loops, the nature of modern liquidity provision, fundamental value shocks, and market fragmentation are often implicated. We develop a model which unifies aspects of the first three explanations. Our setup seems to reproduce a number of features of recent mini-flash crashes. For example, there are circumstances in which mini-flash crashes will not occur. When they do, even just before their onset, market participants may not know with certainty whether there will be a crash or spike or that such an event is imminent at all. We appear to observe mini-flash crashes can happen in both low and high trading volume regimes as well. To the best of our knowledge, we also introduce a new paradigm for studying model misspecification risks in an optimal trading context. Our approach is based on making an explicit distinction between reality and our agents’ models for reality. More precisely, each agent’s model for how a certain risky asset’s price will evolve is wrong in two ways: His understanding of how the price would move in his absence and how his actions affect prices are both imperfect. In fact, aside from a single trivial case, none of our agents ever know the correct price dynamics. We highlight how this framework differs from other common methods for addressing trading model misspecification risks including position limits, sensitivity analysis, Bayesian model averaging, the worst-case framework, and interpolations between the worst-case and classical setups. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 17, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30.

We investigate in detail, in the discrete space case, the properties of extremal points of this set, and exhibit several classes of interest, altogether with a useful necessary conditions for a point to be extremal. We also discuss a candidate analogous of the no-cycle property in the non martingale case and its relations to perturbations.

11 May '17

A tutti gli interessati. Martedì 16 maggio alle ore 15:30 in aula 5 presso il Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. S. Menozzi (Evry) terrà un seminario dal titolo: "Ergodic approximation of invariant measures for diffusions " Abstract: We present non-asymptotic estimates for the approximation of invariant measures for diffusion processes. We consider an Euler scheme with decreasing step where the occupation measure converges towards the invariant measure. The final estimates can be seen as a non-asymptotic extension of central limit type theorems obtained by Lamberton and Pages (Bernolulli 2002). Our approach combines probabilistic techniques (increments of martingales) and analytic arguments (Schauder's estimates for the associated Poisson process). -- Dr. Cristina Zucca Department of Mathematics University of Torino Via Carlo Alberto 10 10123 Torino, Italy tel: +39-011-6702850 fax: +39-011-6702878

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Fulvia Confortola -------------- Si avvisa che il giorno giovedì 11 maggio 2017 alle ore 11:15 nella Sala Maestrale, Tender, piano -1 del Dipartimento di Matematica (Edificio La Nave) del Politecnico di Milano, Via Bonardi 9, Milano, si terrà il seguente seminario Relatore: Prof. Idris Kharroubi, Università Paris Dauphine. Titolo: Information uncertainty related to marked random times and optimal investment Abstract: We study an optimal investment problem under default risk where related information such as loss or recovery at default is considered as an exogenous random mark added at default time. Two types of agents who have different levels of information are considered. We first make precise the insider's information flow by using the theory of enlargement of filtrations and then obtain explicit logarithmic utility maximization results to compare optimal wealth for the insider and the ordinary agent. This talk is based on a joint work with Ying Jiao (Université Lyon I).

Fwd: International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE May 31, 2017
by Monica BILLIO 08 May '17

08 May '17

16th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2017 *INTEREST RATES, GROWTH and REGULATION *Venice, Italy 28-29 September 2017 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), the *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 28-29, 2017. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca' Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank*, is the *sixteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. Since 2007, the financial crisis has triggered deep changes of various kinds. Central banks have experimented new monetary policies (low interest rates, quantitative easing, forward guidance...). The banking industry has had to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust its credit allocation practices in order to cope with a new environment characterized, in particular, by a prolonged period of very low risk-free returns. Alternatives and complements to commercial banking have continued their progress. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks have been reshaped all around the world, with the introduction of new requirements or guidelines. All these changes have called for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play during the crisis, to design adapted policy tools and to provide a better description of the new economic and financial environment. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: - Low interest rates and asset management: emergence of alternative asset classes; changes in banks asset management, repositioning towards wealth management services. - Low interest rates and econometric modelling: Zero Lower Bound; lift off; unconventional monetary policy; default risk; contagion and systemic risk. - Interest rates and alternative financing: venture capital; credit risk in p2p lending/crowdfunding, is there adverse selection? the financing of SMEs; impact on the real economy. - New regulation environment: impact of Basel 4; internal models versus standardized approach; international harmonization; impact of TLAC (total loss absorbent capacity) and IFRS9. The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Alain Monfort* (CREST-Paris, Programme Chair) *Monica Billio* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice) *Francesca Campolongo* (EU-JRC Unit 'Financial and Economic Analysis') *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (Head EIF's Research & Market Analysis) *Jan Peter Krahnen* (SAFE - Goethe University) *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, SFI & CEPR) *Jean-Paul Renne* (University of Lausanne) *Fulvio Pegoraro* (Bank of France) *Bernd Schwaab* (European Central Bank) Local Organisers: *Davide Alfonsi* (Intesa Sanpaolo), *Monica Billio* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice & GRETA), *Andrea Giacomelli* (Knowshape & GRETA), *Pier Luigi Gilibert* (European Investment Fund) and *Domenico Sartore* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Thomas Philippon *(New York University), *Manju Puri* (Duke University) and *Jean-Paul Renne* (University of Lausanne). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems. Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2017* to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *July 10, 2017*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2017.

Seminario di probabilità e statistica matematica Lunedì 15 maggio, ore 16 Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo T.G. Kurtz, University of Wisconsin-Madison, "Stochastic equations for processes built from bounded generators" Abstract: The generator for a pure jump process with bounded jump rate is a bounded operator on the space of measurable functions. For any such process, it is simple to write a stochastic equation driven by a Poisson random measure. Uniqueness for both the stochastic equation and the corresponding martingale problem is immediate, and consequently, the martingale problem and the stochastic equation are equivalent in the sense that they uniquely characterize the same process. A variety of Markov processes, including many interacting particle models, have generators which are at least formally given by infinite sums of bounded generators. In considerable generality, we can write stochastic equations that are equivalent to these generators in the sense that every solution of the stochastic equation is a solution of the martingale problem and every solution of the martingale problem determines a weak solution of the stochastic equation. It follows that uniqueness for one approach is equivalent to uniqueness for the other. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Per informazioni rivolgersi a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it

************************************************************************ STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ************************************************************************ Venerdi 12 Maggio 2017, alle ore 11.00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Petros DELLAPORTAS (University College London) HIGH DIMENSIONAL JUMP PROCESSES WITH STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY We deal with the problem of identifying jumps in multiple financial time series using the stochastic volatility model combined with a jump process. We develop efficient MCMC algorithms to perform Bayesian inference for the parameters and the latent states of the proposed models. In the univariate case we use an homogeneous compound Poisson process for the modelling of the jump component. In the multivariate case we adopt an inhomogeneous Poisson process, with intensity which is also a stochastic process varying across time and economic sectors and markets. A Gaussian process is used as prior distribution for the intensity of the Poisson process. This model is known as doubly stochastic Poisson process or Gaussian Cox process. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms is compared with existing MCMC algorithms. Our methodology is tested through simulation based experiments and applied on 600 stock daily returns of Euro STOXX index over a period of 10 years. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario e' organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (http://www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

seminario Ben Goldys - Milano Bicocca 9/5
by federica.masiero＠unimib.it 03 May '17

03 May '17

Il giorno 9 Maggio, alle ore 10.45, presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca, via Cozzi, 55, Edificio U5, stanza 3014 (terzo piano), il Prof. Ben Goldys, The University of Sydney, terrà un seminario dal titolo "Heat equation perturbed by boundary noise" Abstract: We will consider a fairly general Cauchy-Dirichlet problem with noise entering through the boundary. The case when the noise is white in space and time is also included. The question how to give a meaning to such an equation was first formulated by Da Prato and Zabczyk in 1994 and still remains largely open. We will show that the proper framework for this problem is a certain non-standard weighted $L^p$-space.This is a joint work with Szymon Peszat and Giorgio Fabbri. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Federica Masiero

Si avvisa che in data 5/5/2017, alle ore 10:30 precise, presso Aula seminari del III piano del Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative della sezione di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Titolo: Invariance under quasi-isometries of subcritical and supercritical behavior in the Boolean model of percolation Relatore: Cristian Coletti, Universidade Federal do ABC, Santo André - Sao Paulo, Brasil Abstract: We study the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in locally compact Polish metric spaces and we prove the invariance of subcritical and supercritical phases under mm-quasi-isometries. More precisely, we prove that if a metric space M is mm-quasi-isometric to another metric space N, and the Poisson Boolean model in M exhibits any of the following: (a) a subcritical phase; (b) a supercritical phase; or (c) a phase transition, then the same does the Poisson Boolean model of percolation in N. We use these results in order to understand the phase transition phenomenon in a large family of metric spaces. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Fabio Zucca

In the present paper, we propose five alternative models based on strength parameters that are determined by maximum likelihood estimation. We conduct a comparison of these five statistical models, to which we add the ELO model used for the women's FIFA ranking, on grounds of their predictive performance. Indeed, contrary to regular league rankings, the FIFA ranking is designed to measure the current strength of teams, hence should allow accurate predictions of future matches. Our comparison is based on fifteen English Premier League seasons. The best performing model is then used to build the alternative FIFA ranking. We furthermore show its predictive power by analyzing the 2016 European Championship and comparing our predictions to the bookmaker ratings, usually considered as golden standard.

Annuncio Seminario di Probabilita, Pisa, Martedi' 2 maggio

28 Apr '17

Annuncio Seminario di Probabilita, Pisa, Universita' di Pisa Martedi' 2 maggio, ore 11:00, Aula Seminari Seminario di Probabilita’ SPEAKER: Konstantin Matetski (University of Toronto) TITLE: Convergence of general weakly asymmetric exclusion processes ABSTRACT: In my ongoing work with J. Quastel we consider spatially periodic growth models built from weakly asymmetric exclusion processes with finite jump ranges and general jump rates. We prove that at a large scale and after renormalization these processes converge to the Hopf-Cole solution of the KPZ equation driven by Gaussian space-time white noise. In contrast to the celebrated result by L. Bertini and G. Giacomin (in the case of the nearest neighbour interaction) and its extension by A. Dembo and L.-C. Tsai (for jumps of sizes at most three) we don’t use the Hopf-Cole transform and work with the KPZ equation using regularity structures. The price which we have to pay for this approach is a non-trivial renormalization which has not been observed before for equations with stationary noises. In my talk i will give a general review of the Hopf-Cole solution to the KPZ equation and the results of the aforementioned authors. After that I will introduce a general weakly asymmetric exclusion process and explain the difficulty with renormalization. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario di F. den Hollander a Milano-Bicocca (10.05.2017)
by Francesco Caravenna 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Mercoledì 10 maggio 2017 alle ore 14:30, nell'ambito del Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano, Frank den Hollander (Leiden University) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Random walks on dynamic random graphs" Aula 3014, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano) Università di Milano-Bicocca Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The mixing time of a random walk is the time it needs to approach its stationary distribution. For random walks on graphs, the characterisation of the mixing time has been the subject of intensive study. One of the motivations is the fact that the mixing time gives information about the geometry of the graph. In the last few years, much attention has been devoted to the analysis of mixing times for random walks on \emph{random graphs}, which poses interesting challenges. Many real-world networks are dynamic in nature. It is therefore natural to study random walks on \emph{dynamic random graphs}. In this talk we consider a random walk on the configuration model, i.e., a random graph with prescribed degrees. We investigate what happens when at each unit of time a fraction $\alpha_n$ of the edges is randomly relocated, where $n$ is the number of nodes. We identify \emph{three regimes} for the mixing time in the limit as $n \to \infty$, depending on the choice of $\alpha_n$. These regimes exhibit surprising behaviour. Joint work with Luca Avena (Leiden), Hakan Guldas (Leiden) and Remco van der Hofstad (Eindhoven) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________
