Alla cortese attenzione dei possibili interessati. *Master of Science (MSc) Scholarship * *Project:* Developing Inversion Methods for Non-stationary Thinning of Point Processes An MSc scholarship is available to support a student for full-time study towards a research Master's degree in the project specified above in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Otago in Dunedin. Details are as follows: *Award offered: University of Otago Master program -- MARSDEN FUNDED* *Length of Tenure: 12 months or until thesis is submitted (whichever is earlier)* *Emolument per annum: NZ$16,000 plus domestic tuition fee waiver** *Additional funding is available for travel* *Start date: The earliest start date is May 2015 (can be negotiated)* *Part-time study: Part-time study is not permitted* ** *For international applicants who need to pay international tuition fees, the scholarship contributes a fee maximum of domestic tuition and the successful candidate needs to meet the remainder of the international tuition fees http://www.otago.ac.nz/international/otago002190.html** This scholarship is funded by a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fast-start grant awarded to Dr Ting Wang (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Otago). The regulations governing the award are the same as those for University of Otago Scholarships: http://www.otago.ac.nz/study/scholarships/otago013798.pdf This project aims to develop analytical and numerical methods to inverse point processes with non-stationary missing probabilities, where the probability of missing an event depends on time and event size. The successful applicant will learn point process theory; carry out part of the simulation study and some data analysis using the statistical software R under the supervision of Dr Ting Wang. As the Associate Investigators (AIs) Associate Professor Jiancang Zhuang (Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Tokyo) and Dr Koji Kiyosugi (University of Tokyo) are both based in Japan, a visit to Japan is likely to be funded by this project for the student to receive informal mentoring from the AIs. *Eligibility* Applicants should hold a BSc (Hons) or equivalent four year degree in Statistics or a related discipline with a strong research interest. For an exceptional graduate student who has only completed a BSc degree without Honours year, additional scholarship may be awarded for the year of course studies. *Applying for this scholarship* Please contact Dr Ting Wang (twang(a)maths.otago.ac.nz <mailto:twang@maths.otago.ac.nz>, http://www.stats.otago.ac.nz/?People =ting_wang) and provide a covering letter explaining your interest in this project, a CV, a copy of your full academic transcript, and details of two academic referees.

Seminario di A. Cipriani a Milano-Bicocca (30.03.2015)
by Francesco Caravenna 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Lunedì 30 marzo 2015 alle ore 14:30, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Alessandra Cipriani (WIAS Berlin) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Rates of convergence for extremes of geometric random variables and marked point processes" Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: We study the problem of extremes for univariate and bivariate geometric laws. We determine the rate of convergence of the maximum of \iid geometric random variables and bivariate vectors following the Marshall-Olkin geometric distribution to a Gumbel distribution, and propose a new discretised version as limit. We introduce marked point processes of exceedances (MPPE's) whose \iid marks are bivariate Marshall-Olkin geometric variables. We use the Stein-Chen method for Poisson process approximation to determine bounds on the error of the approximation of the law of the MPPE by that of a Poisson process.

Stats Under The Stars!
by stefano iacus 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Ricevo e inoltro con piacere La notte tra l'8 ed il 9 Settembre 2015 si svolgerà presso la sala Rossini del Caffè Pedrocchi di Padoval'evento Stats Under The Stars. L'evento ha l'obiettivo di stimolare il dinamismo che lega la Statistica al mondo dei giovani tramite una sfida che vedrà le squadre partecipanti confrontarsi nell'analisi di un dataset nel corso di un'intera nottata. Uno scontro che in realtà vuole essere un'occasione per sottolineare l'utilità della Statistica come strumento chiave in ottica decisionale e favorire l'incontro ed il confronto tra giovani laureandi e neo-laureati in Statistica, studenti di dottorato, giovani statistici già inseriti nel mondo lavorativo e ragazzi provenienti da altri tipi di formazione come l'informatica, matematica e l'economia. Stats Under The Stars è un "satellite" della Conferenza scientifica della Società Italiana di Statistica Statistics and Demography: the Legacy of Corrado Gini ed è supportato dalla sezione giovani della Società Italiana di Statistica. L'evento si accoppia inoltre con il convegno Statistica e data science per il business che si svolge martedì 8 settembre nel Palazzo del Bo a Padova. La partecipazione all'evento è gratuita ma, per motivi organizzativi, chiediamo a tutti gli interessati di iscriversi alla pagina di iscrizione del sito. Per maggiori informazioni sul programma, iscrizione, regolamenti e premio: consultare il sito http://sus.stat.unipd.it/ ----------------------------------- Stefano M.

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Mercoledì 18 Marzo - ore 14.30 Aula D'Antoni 1101 Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Speaker: Mirko D'Ovidio - Università di Roma La Sapienza Title: Coordinates change and random fields Abstract:The time change of one parameter processes is a powerful tool well investigated so far. We present in this talk some theoretical aspects concerning the coordinates change of multiparameter processes and some applications to the analysis of the cosmic microwave background radiation. We consider fractional powers of positive definite operators such as the (time) fractional derivative or the fractional Laplacean. Cordiali saluti Claudio Durastanti

Seminario all'IAC
by Giovanni Luca Torrisi 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

*Venerdi' 20 Marzo 2015*, *ore 14:00* Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone", Via dei Taurini 19, 00185 Roma Aula Riunioni (VI piano) *ALESSANDRO DE GREGORIO * (Universita' di Roma "Sapienza") terra' un seminario dal titolo *Isotropic transport processes: a survey of results* ABSTRACT: The motion of a particle whose velocity undergoes jumps of random size at random times constitutes the prototype of a transport process (also called random flight or random evolution). In this talk the probabilistic construction of the isotropic transport processes is outlined. In particular, we assume that the joint probability distribution of the lengths of the displacements is a Dirichlet law. Several results in this context are discussed. We also introduce reflecting transport processes by means of a geometric approach. These processes are often applied in statistical physics and biology. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Giovanni Luca Torrisi.

No Free Lunch Seminar by Prof. Roberto Renò, Friday March 20 1:00 PM Aula Bianchi @ SNS
by Giacomo Bormetti 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Friday March 20 2015, 1:00 PM in Aula Bianchi, Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa Roberto Renò Dipartimento di Economia Politica e Statistica, Università di Siena will deliver the seminar “Multi-jumps” Abstract: The simultaneous occurrence of jumps in several stocks (multi-jumps) can be associated to major nancial news, is correlated with sudden spikes of the variance risk premium, and determines an increase in the stock variances and correlations which signicantly deteriorates the diversication potential of asset allocation. The latter evidence implies a reduction in the demand of stocks by an aware risk-averse investor. These facts can be easily overlooked by the usage of standard univariate jump statistics, which just lack su cient power. They are instead revealed in a clearly cut way by using a novel test based on smoothed estimators of the integrated variance of individual stocks. Joint work with Massimiliano Caporin and Aleksey Kolokolov. All interested people are kindly invited.
