The ABS school SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY, June 3-6, 2025, Genova, Italy
by Elisa Varini 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

We are pleased to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics summer school - ABS25 will be held from 3 to 6 June 2025 in the beautiful historic city of Genova, overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Italy. The school is organized by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova. The topic will be SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY The lecturer will be Prof. ALEXANDRA SCHMIDT (McGill University, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, Canada), with the support of Dr. CARLO ZACCARDI (University G. d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economics, Italy). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/ REGISTRATION is now open, but payments will be possible (by credit card and, possibly, by bank transfer) starting from about mid-February 2025. If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs25(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: This course aims to explore the interface between environmental epidemiology (EE) and spatio-temporal modelling (ST). The aim of EE is to understand the adverse health effects of environmental hazards and to estimate the risks associated with those hazards. Such risks have traditionally been assessed either over time at a fixed point in space or over space at a fixed point in time. ST modelling characterizes the distribution of those hazards and associated risks over both geographical locations and time. Understanding variation and exploiting dependencies over both space and time greatly increases the power to assess those relationships. The course will cover a wide range of topics from an introduction to spatio-temporal and epidemiological principles along with the foundations of ST modeling, with specific focus on their application, to new directions for research. Topics to be covered: - Types of epidemiological studies: cohort, case–control, ecological. - Measures of risk: relative risks, odds ratios, absolute risk, sources of bias, assessing uncertainty. - Bayesian statistics and computational techniques: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). - Regression models in epidemiology: Logistic and Poisson generalized linear models, hierarchical models. - Dynamic linear models, temporal autocorrelation. - Spatial models: area and point referenced methods, mapping, geostatistical methods, spatial regression. - Spatial-temporal models: separable models, non-separable models, modelling exposures in space and time.

Seminario Padova - Orphée Collin
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (24 Gennaio) in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Orphée Collin (LPSM Paris) Title: Two-dimensional simple random walk conditioned on avoiding 0 and two-dimendional random interlacements Date: January 24, 2025, at 14:30, room 2AB40 Abstract: In this talk, I will present joint works with Francis Comets and Serguei Popov. How can one condition the two-dimensional simple random walk (2D-SRW), which is well known to be recurrent, on not hitting the origin ? This question will be answered by defining rigorously the 2D-SRW conditioned to avoid the origin. I will then discuss some of its surprising properties and present results concerning its speed of escape towards infinity. I will also present the random interlacements model build upon the conditioned 2D-SRW, which was introduced by the aforementioned coauthors (together with Marina Vachkovskaia) in 2015. I will discuss some properties of this model : FKG inequality, 0-1 law, phase transition and behavior at criticality. During the talk, I will also evoke the continuous counterparts of these processes, namely : the two-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned to avoid the unit ball and the two-dimensional random interlacements. If time allows, I will mention some results on the Brownian random interlacements. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

QFinLab Seminar - Adrien Mathieu (Oxford University) - 27/1/2025, 16:00 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 16 Jan '25

16 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Monday, 27 January 2025, 16.00-17.00 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Adrien Mathieu (Oxford University) Title: Market Making with fads, Informed and Uninformed traders. Abstract: We characterize the solutions to a continuous-time optimal liquidity provision problem in a market populated by informed and uninformed traders. In our model, the asset price exhibits fads -- these are short-term deviations from the fundamental value of the asset. Conditional on the value of the fad, we model how informed traders and uninformed traders arrive in the market. The market maker knows of the two groups of traders but only observes the anonymous order arrivals. We study both the complete information and the partial information versions of the control problem faced by the market maker. In such frameworks, we characterize the value of information, and we find the price of liquidity as a function of the proportion of informed traders in the market. Lastly, for the partial information setup, we explore how to go beyond the Kalman-Bucy filter to extract information about the fad from the market arrivals. Next seminar: Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), 19 February 12:15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.
