********** SEMINARIO Probabilita' Prof. Boguslaw Zegarlisnki (Imperial College, London UK) Titolo: Dissipative Dynamics for Large Interacting Systems" Mercoledi' 11 gennaio 2017 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C, Aula 311 Abstract: I will review recent results and open problems concerning constructions and ergodicity of dissipative dynamics for classical large interacting systems. In particular I will talk about dynamics defined by formally hypoelliptic generators and some generalised Dunkl type extensions, and how to control their long time behaviour (by use of coercive inequalities or generalised gradient type bounds). *************

*Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma * *Martedì 10 gennaio* *Ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio* *Seminario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica* *Antonio Lijoi, Dipartimento di Economia e Management, Università di Pavia* *Titolo: Bayesian nonparametric inference with heterogeneous data* *Abstract: * *The talk provides an overview of some recent work on random probability measure vectors and their role in Bayesian statistics. Indeed, dependent nonparametric priors are useful tools for drawing inferences on data that arise from different, though related, studies or experiments and for which the usual exchangeability assumption is not satisfied. The presentation will focus on models based on completely random measures, or suitable transformations thereof, that have an additive, a hierarchical and a nested structure. Some of their distributional properties relevant for prediction will be discussed. These theoretical results are, then, used for devising Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms that will be implemented within some illustrative examples for analyzing data in the contexts of species sampling problems and survival analysis.* *Tutti gli interessati sono invitati ad intervenire.* *Per richieste di informazioni scrivere a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it <piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it>.*

Simone Scotti seminar [ Comp.Science Dept. UniVr ; January 11, 2017 - 3:00 PM ]
by Luca di persio 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Prof. Simone Scotti [ LPMA, Université Paris Diderot ], will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of the University of Verona (Strada le Grazie, 15, Verona) https://goo.gl/maps/7uSSJWCiZtC2 the next 11st of January 2017 (Wednesday). He will give the seminar *Alpha-CIR Model with Branching Processes in Sovereign Interest Rate Modelling* scheduled at the *Green Hall*, *starting from 15:00*, with the following *Abstract* We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the alpha-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the alpha-stable Lévy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence of large jumps at local extent. We emphasise on a general integral representation of the model by using random fields, with which we establish the link to the CBI processes and the affine models. Finally we analyse the jump behaviours and in particular the large jumps, and we provide numerical illustrations. This is a joint work with Ying Jiao and Chunhua Ma. *Here you can find more details*: http://www.di.univr.it/?ent=seminario&id=3847&lang=en Do not hesitate to contact me for further infos: luca.dipersio(a)univr.it Best, LuCa __ Luca Di Persio - PhD assistant professor of Probability and Mathematical Finance Dept.
