Si avvisa che in data 13-06-2017, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Stefano Castruccio, Newcastle University, UK Titolo: Stochastic Approximations of Complex Deterministic Models: Environmental Applications Sommario: Climate models are among the most used tools for impact assessment and policy making, and they are instrumental to obtain physically consistent projections of future climate. While it is of crucial importance to assess the sensitivity of such models to different input such as scenarios and parametrizations, a comprehensive analysis is not feasible due to computational and memory constraints. In this talk I will present new classes of global space-time statistical models (emulators) that can provide useful stochastic approximations to climate models. Emulators trained on a small set of model runs allow to perform sensitivity analysis with surrogate runs that are orders of magnitude faster to compute than the original climate model. I will also discuss some of my methodological research on global space-time statistical models, spanning from nonstationary Gaussian processes in the sphere x time domain that can account for land/ocean regimes and vertical profiles of temperatures, to skew-t processes for daily data. The large dimensionality of the model output, comprising of hundreds of millions data points, poses significant computational challenges, and in this talk I will also introduce a new sequential likelihood approximation that will allow scalable, parallelizable and asymptotically consistent inference for massive datasets. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Seminario Prof.ssa Costantini (presso Dip. Scienze Statistiche, Roma)
by Alessandro Degregorio 31 May '17

31 May '17

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Lunedì 5 Giugno 2017, ore 11 ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Stanza 34 Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma Prof.ssa Cristina Costantini (Università degli studi "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti-Pescara) APPROSSIMAZIONE DI DIFFUSIONE DI PROCESSI A VELOCITA' FINITA Riassunto: Con processi a velocita' finita (a volte detti anche processi di trasporto o evoluzioni aleatorie) intendiamo qui dei modelli, pensati per descrivere il moto di una particella, in cui la posizione della particella a un tempo $t$ e' data dall'integrale di un processo velocita', che e' costante, o evolve deterministicamente finche', a intervalli di tempo esponenziali, cambia in modo aleatorio. Sulla retta e nel piano, questi processi sono stati approfonditamente studiati (Orsingher, Pinsky, Kolesnik, Stadje e molti altri), in particolare per quanto riguarda l'equazione alle derivate parziali soddisfatta dalla distribuzione a un tempo della posizione e, in alcuni casi importanti, la forma esplicita della distribuzione. Questo seminario trattera' invece del limite, sotto riscalamento spazio-temporale diffusivo, di questi processi, anch'esso studiato da molti autori (Bensoussan, Lions, Papanicolaou, Bal, Degond, Kurtz, Costantini e molti altri). Tale limite puo' essere ottenuto in dimensione qualunque, per una classe ampia di nuclei di transizione della velocita', anche dipendenti dalla posizione e dalla velocita' correnti, e anche nel caso in cui il moto della particella e' confinato in una regione e sulla frontiera la velocita' cambia in modo deterministico o aleatorio, a seconda della velocita' d'impatto trasversale. L'approccio utilizzato e' quello delle equazioni differenziali stocastiche e dei problemi di martingala, combinati, nel caso in cui la particella e' confinata, con cambiamenti di tempo aleatori. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
