Buongiorno, Ricevo ed inoltro. Buon weekend Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Louigi Addario-Berry <louigi(a)gmail.com> Date: ven 28 ott 2022, 16:52 Subject: Graduate and postdoctoral opportunities To: Louigi Addario-Berry <louigi(a)gmail.com> Dear colleagues, I would appreciate it if you could circulate the below information to your networks. I am planning to recruit two new doctoral students (beginning in September 2023) and some positive number of new Master's students (also beginning in September 2023). Also, there are multiple postdoctoral opportunities available at McGill and in Montreal (beginning in May 2023 or later). Those who are interested in a postdoctoral position should apply to the following postings: November 11 deadline: https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs?joblist-1067-20525 December 15 deadline: https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/21313 Those who are interested in a doctoral position should apply here: January 15 deadline: https://www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/how-apply In both cases, applicants should mention my name as a potential supervisor. Applicants who would like to work with me should be interested in probability and its interactions with other subjects (e.g. combinatorics, graph theory, PDEs), and should ideally have background in some of these areas. However, all applications will be carefully considered, including from those with non-traditional academic trajectories. Applicants can find out some things about my research interests on my website: http://problab.ca/louigi/. They are also welcome to contact me in advance of applying if they have questions. I especially welcome applications from members of groups who are traditionally underrepresented within mathematics. Sincerely, Louigi.

Seminar Van Bever at UPO
by Enea Bongiorno 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, We are glad to invite you to the seminar that will take place on the 8th of November, at 16.00: - in presence: room 201 of the campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara Università del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi per l’Economia e l’Impresa. - on-line at the link: meet.google.com/yvq-ccbt-pzt Prof. Germain Van Bever Université de Namur, Belgio Title: Flexible Hilbertian Additive Regression with Small Errors-in-Variables Abstract: In this talk, we present a new framework of additive regression modelling for data in very generic settings. More precisely, we tackle the problem of estimating component functions of additive models where the regressors and/or response variable belong to general Hilbert spaces and can be imperfectly observed. By this,we mean that some variables can be either measured incompletely or with errors. Smooth backﬁtting methods are used to estimate consistently the component functions and we provide explicit rates of convergence. We amply illustrate our methodology in various settings, including the functional, Riemannian and Hilbertian settings.

Seminar Dombry @Bocconi - Thursday 3/11 at 12:00
by Giacomo Zanella 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

We are glad to announce the following seminar: Thursday, 3rd of November 2022 12:00, Room AS02 (only in presence, no online) Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, floor -1 Speaker: Clément Dombry (Université de Franche-Comté) Title: Stone's theorem and minimax rate of convergence for distributional regression Abstract: Distributional regression aims at estimating the full conditional distribution of the response variable given the covariates and is a fundamental tool in probabilistic forecast. In this talk, we prove Stone's theorem for distributional regression. It establishes universal consistency in Wasserstein distance of a large class of models based on local weights. Next we consider minimax rates of convergence on suitable classes of distributions and prove that nearest neighbor and kernel algorithms are rate optimal. Best regards, Giacomo Zanella

Thank you very much. Sincerely, Gianni Ps: further open positions at BCAM can be found at http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job <http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job> ============== Effective treatment strategies for rare diseases based on gene therapy Project summary Gene therapy medicinal products (GTMPs) are one of the most promising biopharmaceuticals, which are beginning to show encouraging results. Gene therapy based on the administration of DNA, messenger RNA (mRNA) or short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) are intended for gene augmentation or gene suppression, whereas the use of small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or aptamers provides posttranslational gene silencing. The efforts and advances made in this area have led to the development of new therapeutic strategies to treat several disorders, many of them without currently available treatments, as rare diseases. A key challenge for the clinical application of nucleic acid medicinal products entails the availability of delivery systems specifically adapted to their features and purpose. For a successful gene therapy, the delivery systems have to protect the genetic material from degradation, facilitating its internalization in target cells and releasing them intracellularly. The first step for an efficient internalization of the nucleic acid is the interaction between the delivery system and the cell membrane. Therefore, the understanding of the intracellular behaviour of the nanodelivery systems, the nucleic acid they carry (mRNA, DNA, siRNA, shRNA or ASO) and the endosomes after the internalization process will allow to advance in the design of nucleic acid based-nanomedicines aiming to improve the effectiveness of gene therapy treatments, by developing strategies for an improved intracellular delivery and endosomal escape. The issue of physical understanding and mathematical modelling of nanodelivering is still an open problem. As a matter of fact, anomalous diffusion emerged in living systems, namely, diffusing particles do not follow rules and properties of Brownian motion, and delivering by nanoparticles also goes according to anomalous diffusion such that modelling and understanding of anomalous diffusion is fundamental for gene therapy improvement. Therefore, new and advanced techniques are required for modelling such random motions and further studies needed for the understanding of the underlying statistical physics. It is well-known that anomalous diffusion is strongly related with fractional diffusion equations that are differential equations involving integral operators defined within the branch of mathematical analysis named Fractional Calculus. Under the point of view of statistical physics, these systems show not classical features as, for example, long-range correlations, power-law distributions, weak ergodicity breaking and aging. This framework calls for stochastic processes in inhomogeneous media and/or for heterogeneous ensembles of particles and then within the families, for example, of scaled Brownian motion and diffusing-diffusivity as well as those of the generalized gray Brownian motion and the superstatistical fractional Brownian motion, in general, and their under-damped extension. In general, the project aims to assess in deep the intracellular behavior of lipid nanoparticles for nucleic acid delivery for establishing models of anomalous diffusion useful to optimize the nanomedicines since the first steps of development. An important step towards further progress in the clinical application of gene therapy is expected and the results be applied in a number of delivery systems and diseases. The project will be mainly focused on the following rare diseases: Rare metabolic diseases; Rare retinal degenerative diseases; CAR therapy in pediatric acute leukemia, that are currently investigated by the PharmaNanoGene group at the Faculty of Pharmacy (UPV/EHU) and Bioaraba Health Research Institute. The development of the proper stochastic processes for nanodelivering and the interpretation of the corresponding statistical physics will be conducted by the Statistical Physics group at BCAM led by the proponent Ikerbasque Research Associate Gianni Pagnini has decades of experience in the field of fractional diffusion equations and the development of the related models, while the molecular simulations and advanced data analysis will be provided by the Mathematical, Computational and Experimental Neuroscience group at BCAM led by Ikerbasque Professor Serafim Rodrigues. — Gianni Pagnini Ikerbasque Research Associate BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics Alameda de Mazarredo, 14 E-48009 Bilbao, Basque Country - Spain Tel. +34 946 567 842 gpagnini(a)bcamath.org | www.bcamath.org/gpagnini ( matematika mugaz bestalde )

UNIBO Statistics Seminars: Davide Ferrari, Free University of Bolzano/Bozen
by Simone Giannerini 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

We are glad to announce the following Statistics Seminar: Friday, October 28, 11.30 a.m. Davide Ferrari (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano) Fast Construction of Optimal Composite Likelihoods Abstract A composite likelihood is a combination of low-dimensional likelihood objects useful in applications where the data have complex structure. Although composite likelihood construction is a crucial aspect influencing both computing and statistical properties of the resulting estimator, currently there does not seem to exist a universal rule to combine low-dimensional likelihood objects that is statistically justified and fast in execution. This paper develops a methodology to select and combine the most informative low-dimensional likelihoods from a large set of candidates while carrying out parameter estimation. The new procedure minimizes the distance between composite likelihood and full likelihood scores subject to a constraint representing the afforded computing cost. The selected composite likelihood is sparse in the sense that it contains a relatively small number of informative sub-likelihoods while the noisy terms are dropped. The resulting estimator is found to have asymptotic variance close to that of the minimum-variance estimator constructed using all the low-dimensional likelihoods.
