Oct 21 - Stats seminars Geneletti and Wrobleski @ Sapienza MEMOTEF
by Francesca Panero 29 Sep '25

29 Sep '25

Buongiorno a tutti, On Tuesday 21st of October at the MEMOTEF Department, Sapienza University, we will have the pleasure to listen to the seminars of Prof Sara Geneletti<https://www.lse.ac.uk/statistics/people/sara-geneletti> and the PhD student Trevor Wrobleski<https://trevorwrobleski.github.io/> from the Department of Statistics of the London School of Economics and Political Science. The seminars will take place 10-11am in Laboratorio Antonio Amato - Sala Corsi (on the third floor of Palazzina Presidenza, the staircase at the entrance of the Economics building, Via del Castro Laurenziano 9). You can find titles and abstracts below. Best wishes, Francesca Sara Geneletti Bayesian interrupted time-series models and their applications on welfare and mental health This talk is an overview of the research output of the Epitome project funded by the Wellcome Trust. The project involved 4 research streams, and we showcase results from each one of them. The main aims of this project were to a) understand the impact of Conservative government and their "austerity" policy which led to widespread cuts in social spending and b) to develop novel methodologies in the context of interrupted time series designs using Bayesian methods. Our project found that changes in welfare benefits had a detrimental effect on mental health which also had a spatial dimension, and that the impact of the "hostile environment policy", an anti-immigration policy on the mental health of African and Carribean communities was negative. We further extended the Bayesian Structural Time Series approach to accommodate multiple data points and confirmed the impact of the hostile environment policy using this alternative method. Finally, we developed a Cohort Markov Model to evaluate the impact of the welfare benefits change by looking at how it impacted different segments of the population. Trevor Wrobleski Robustness and Sensitivity in Bayesian Dose-Response Risk Assessment Bayesian methods are increasingly central to toxicological risk assessment, yet their application to sparse dose-response data presents unique challenges. This presentation examines three drivers of analytical robustness: (i) the choice of likelihood for overdispersed quantal data, (ii) the inferential impact of selective dose-group deletion, and (iii) the sensitivity of results to prior specification. Using simulations and a case study of antimony trioxide carcinogenicity, we quantify the impact of these choices on benchmark dose (BMD) estimates and the posterior distribution, using metrics like Mean Squared Error and symmetrized Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. Our findings show that modeling overdispersion with a Beta-Binomial likelihood is important for accurate uncertainty quantification. We also demonstrate that deleting informative mid-range dose groups can degrade precision and shift inference. Finally, for the Dichotomous Hill model, the prior on the Hill coefficient is the dominant lever on the BMD, capable of inducing multi-fold changes in the risk estimate. ------------------------------------------- Dr Francesca Panero (she/her) Assistant Professor in Statistics (RTT), Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance Sapienza University, Rome Visiting Fellow, Department of Statistics London School of Economics and Political Science Visiting Lecturer, Faculty of Informatics Università della Svizzera Italiana Website: https://francescapanero.github.io

Seminario on-line PRISMA lunedì 6 ottobre 2025 - C. Franceschini & F. Sau
by Sonia Mazzucchi 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Dallo scorso anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per *lunedì 6 ottobre* 2025. I relatori saranno *Chiara Franceschini* (Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia) e *Federico Sau* (Università di Milano Statale) che parleranno di: *Sistemi interagenti del non-equilibrio: dualità e gap spettrali* con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unitn.zoom.us/j/83547578084 ID riunione: 835 4757 8084 Codice d’accesso: 873866 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Chiara Franceschini (Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia) e Federico Sau (Università di Milano Statale) TITOLO: Sistemi interagenti del non-equilibrio: dualità e gap spettrali RIASSUNTO: In questo seminario verranno presentati alcuni modelli di sistemi interagenti con spin sia discreti che continui. Tra gli esempi principali figurano il modello di Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (1982) e il processo armonico recentemente introdotto. Quando questi modelli sono studiati su un reticolo unidimensionale in contatto con reservoir ai bordi, costituiscono un setting classico per l’analisi di fenomeni tipici della meccanica statistica fuori dall’equilibrio. Tutti i modelli considerati sono associati alla Lie algebra su(1,1) e condividono diverse caratteristiche strutturali, tra cui la proprietà di dualità. Nella prima parte del seminario introdurremo il concetto di dualità per i processi di Markov, illustrando come esso consenta di derivare limiti di scala macroscopici (come l’equazione idrodinamica e i principi di grandi deviazioni) e ottenere informazioni sulla misura stazionaria fuori dall’equilibrio, esplicitamente nota solo per alcuni casi specifici. Nella seconda parte prenderemo in esame modelli definiti anche su grafi arbitrari, focalizzandoci sullo studio del gap spettrale e sulla convergenza all’equilibrio.

QFinLab Seminar - Anna Maria Gambaro (Università del Piemonte Orientale) - 1/10/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 1 October 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Anna Maria Gambaro (Università del Piemonte Orientale) Title: Functional PCA for Risk-Neutral densities in Bayes Hilbert space. Abstract: In this work, we investigate the main drivers of risk-neutral densities of quoted stocks, using the functional principal component analysis (FPCA). To this end, we first construct a historical series of risk-neutral densities corresponding to quoted option prices with fixed time to maturity, using exponential expansions of orthogonal polynomials. Then, we apply the centered log-ratio transformation (CLRT) to the extracted densities and we perform the FPCA in the Bayes–Hilbert space. The CLRT provides an isometric isomorphism between the Bayes space of square log-integrable densities and the classical Hilbert space of square-integrable functions. As a result, the projected data onto the principal component basis correspond to the CLRT-transformed densities, and the application of the inverse CLRT yields proper density functions. Furthermore, by modeling the historical series of FPCA loadings as a stochastic process, we exploit the FPCA representation for forecasting purposes. Finally, we discuss extensions of this framework to cross-asset analyses and to the modeling of option price surfaces. This is a joint work with A. Amici e G. Fusai. Attendance is also possible online (Microsoft Teams), clicking here.<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YmFlY2M5OWEtYzg1OS00…> All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>.
