by Simone Vantini 19 May '14

19 May '14

*Position:*PhD position in "Statistical Methods for Geosciences" in Mathematical Models and Methods in Engineering. *Institution:*Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. *Duration:*3 years, beginning November 1, 2014. *Monthly net income:*1.200 euro. *Deadline for applications: *14:00 (GMT+1:00), May 23, 2014. *Details for applications: *please click here <http://www.dottorato.polimi.it/en/looking-for-a-phd/call-for-positions-and-…>. *Motivations and objectives of the research in this field:*Problems characterized by high-dimensional and complex data have become more and more common in engineering. Due to their complexity, in many situations these data contain redundant information since their underlying structure may involve only a reduced number of relevant features. This research aims at developing new methods for the detection of suitable subspaces where data (possibly spatially-dependent) can be represented, interpreted and analyzed. The interest extends also to the identification of suitable basis, which should capture the relevant geophysical features of the phenomenon under study and allow for computationally efficient statistical analysis. *Methods and techniques that will be developed and used to carry out the research:* The PhD program aims at training young researchers by providing them with a strong mathematical background and with ability to apply their knowledge to the solution of real-world problems in the areas of Statistics and Scientific Computing. *Educational objectives:*The PhD students carry their research both in the development of new mathematical methods and in the implementation and improvement of advanced techniques in connection with specific contexts and applications. Further information can be obtained by consulting the dedicated website http://www.mate.polimi.it/dottorato *Job opportunities:* Job opportunities are in companies and research agencies which are leaders in their respective fields. -- Simone Vantini MOX Laboratory for Modeling and Scientific Computing Dept. of Mathematics "F.

Christian Brownlees Department of Economics and Business, Universita' Pompeu Fabra terra' un seminario dal titolo: Nets: Network Estimation for Time Series il giorno 20 maggio 2014 alle ore 14.30 presso l'aula Fanfani, quinto piano del Dipartimento MEMOTEF, Facolta' di Economia, Sapienza Universita' di Roma, Viale del Castro Laurenziano 9. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Segue abstract in calce Lea Petrella Abstract: This work proposes novel network analysis techniques for multivariate time series. We define the network of a multivariate time series as a graph where vertices denote the components of the process and edges denote non--zero long run partial correlations. We then introduce a two step LASSO procedure, called NETS, to estimate high--dimensional sparse Long Run Partial Correlation networks. This approach is based on a VAR approximation of the process and allows to decompose the long run linkages into the contribution of the dynamic and contemporaneous dependence relations of the system. The large sample properties of the estimator are analysed and we establish conditions for consistent selection and estimation of the non-zero long run partial correlations. The methodology is illustrated with an application to a panel of U.S. bluechips -- **************************************************** Prof. Lea Petrella Memotef Department Sapienza University of Rome http://geostasto.eco.uniroma1.it/utenti/petrella *****************************************************
