seminar: "Combined analysis of spatially misaligned data using Gaussian fields and the stochastic partial differential equation approach.", Paula Moraga 22 February
by Umberto Picchini 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. We are very glad to have, on Tuesday February 22, Paula Moraga <https://www.paulamoraga.com/> (KAUST) who will talk of: ///"Combined analysis of spatially misaligned data using Gaussian fields and the stochastic partial differential equation approach."/ //** paula moraga *About the speaker: *Paula Moraga <https://www.paulamoraga.com/> is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the Principal Investigator of the GeoHealth research group. Her research focuses on the development of innovative statistical methods and computational tools for geospatial data analysis and health surveillance, and the impact of her work has directly informed strategic policy in reducing disease burden in several countries. She has developed modeling architectures to understand the geographic and temporal patterns and identify targets for intervention of diseases such as malaria in Africa and cancer in Australia, and has worked on the development of a number of R packages for Bayesian risk modeling, detection of disease clusters, and risk assessment of travel-related spread of disease. // //* * *Abstract: *Spatially misaligned data are becoming increasingly common due to advances in both data collection and management in a wide range of scientific disciplines including the epidemiological, ecological and environmental fields. Here, we present a Bayesian geostatistical model for fusion of data obtained at point and areal resolutions. The model assumes that underlying all observations there is a spatially continuous variable that can be modeled using a Gaussian random field process. The model is fitted using the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) and the stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) approaches. In the SPDE approach, a continuously indexed Gaussian random field is represented as a discretely indexed Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) by means of a finite basis function defined on a triangulation of the region of study. In order to allow the combination of point and areal data, a new projection matrix for mapping the GMRF from the observation locations to the triangulation nodes is proposed which takes into account the types of data to be combined. The performance of the model is examined via simulation when it is fitted to point, areal, and point and areal data combined to predict several simulated surfaces that can appear in real settings. The model is also applied to predict the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, USA, during 2011. The results show that the combination of point and areal data provides better predictions than if the method is applied to just one type of data, and this is consistent over both simulated and real data. We conclude the approach presented may be a helpful advance in the area of spatial statistics by providing a useful tool that is applicable in a wide range of situations where information at different spatial resolutions needs to be combined. *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64709763394 Password: 920248 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 22 February at 14.15-15.15*(Swedish time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Seminar José Figueroa Lopez in Verona, 23/2/22 at 12, Efficient Volatility Estimation for Lévy Processes with Jumps of Unbounded Variation
by Cecilia Mancini 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

José Figueroa Lopez Professor at the Washington University in St. Louis will give, both on site and on line, the SEMINAR Efficient Volatility Estimation for Lévy Processes with Jumps of Unbounded Variation Abstract. Statistical inference for stochastic processes based on high-frequency observations has been an active research area for more than a decade. One of the most well-known and widely studied problems is that of estimation of the quadratic variation of the continuous component of an Itô semimartingale with jumps. Several rate- and variance-efficient estimators have been proposed in the literature when the jump component is of bounded variation. However, to date, very few methods can deal with jumps of unbounded variation. By developing new high-order expansions of the truncated moments of a Lévy process, we construct a new rate- and variance-efficient estimator for a class of Lévy processes of unbounded variation, whose small jumps behave like those of a stable Lévy process with Blumenthal-Getoor index less than 8/5. The proposed method is based on a two-step debiasing procedure for the truncated realized quadratic variation of the process. Our Monte Carlo experiments indicate that the method outperforms other efficient alternatives in the literature in the setting covered by our theoretical framework. All interested people are warmly invited to participate Professor Figueroa-Lopez is visiting our department from February the 10th to March the 22nd, and from June the 15th to August the 15th For attendance via Zoom, please register at the following page, we will send you the meeting link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ6PccwEy8tSEngi0JMUKYEJ4yOHuuwur… Live attendance: the Department of Economics, via Cantarane 24, Vaona room.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 18 Febbraio 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Graham Cormode* (University of Warwick) Title: *New Lower and Upper Bounds for Quantile Summary Algorithms* Abstract: Finding the median, or more generally quantiles, is a core problem in data analysis. The question has been heavily studied in streaming and related models of computation, for over four decades. In this talk I will present some recent advances: - Lower bounds for approximating quantiles in the deterministic comparison model, for additive error, which show that the best known algorithm is in fact optimal - Upper bounds for relative error epsilon-approximations of quantiles, which improves over previous results and exceed the best known lower bounds by only an O(log(1/e)3/2) factor. This covers joint work with Pavel Vesely, Justin Thaler, Edo Liberty and Zohar Karnin. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88206863118?pwd=cmlHYzBXbW9NZ2JVYmtDbDNqNnFydz09> Meeting ID: 882 0686 3118 Passcode: 757710 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Coghi, Monday February 14 at 17.30
by Carlo Orrieri 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Michele Coghi (Università d Trento) Title: Rough McKean-Vlasov dynamics for robust ensemble Kalman filtering. Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of incorporating data into misspecified and multiscale dynamical models, we study a McKean-Vlasov equation that contains the data stream as a common driving rough path. This setting allows us to prove well-posedness as well as continuity with respect to the driver in an appropriate rough-path topology. The latter property is key in our subsequent development of a robust data assimilation methodology: We establish propagation of chaos for the associated interacting particle system, which in turn is suggestive of a numerical scheme that can be viewed as an extension of the ensemble Kalman filter to a rough-path framework. Finally, we discuss a data-driven method based on subsampling to construct suitable rough path lifts and demonstrate the robustness of our scheme in a number of numerical experiments related to parameter estimation problems in multiscale contexts. Based on arXiv:2107.06621 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.06621>. Date and time: Monday February 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88138955113?pwd=R1Vpa2xWVDlFc2pjUXIxSWpWU21LQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88138955113?pwd=R1Vpa2xWVDlFc2pjUXIxSWpWU21LQT09> ID riunione: 881 3895 5113 Passcode: 672537 This talk is the second of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Online workshop announcement
by Alessandra Micheletti 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

*Big Data challenges for Mathematics: state of the art and future perspectives* *Online webinar – February 25, 2022* The workshop will be held on the platform Zoom and will be streamed on YouTube. Participants who would like to follow the workshop in real time and participate to the discussion with the speakers are requested to register. See the web site of the workshop for registration, programme and additional information: *http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/* <http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/> *Aims of the workshop:* Nowadays the data deluge is the hallmark of a new kind of ‘Law of Large Numbers’ that builds intelligence from large, heterogeneous, noisy and, in general, complex data sets collected from mobile devices, the Internet of Things, software logs, automated medical devices, social media, and so many other data sources. The classical mathematical and statistical paradigms are often not applicable to current real-world problems, so there is a growing demand of new mathematical and statistical techniques to face such problems, able to shed some light on the often black-box techniques which are usually applied in such context and which characterise Deep Learning and, more generally, Artificial Intelligence. On the other side, since computers can not do everything by themselves, there is a growing need for new professional and scientific figures, the data scientists, that master a whole range of skills, ranging from data processing to sophisticated math tools and computational skills that are needed to extract the knowledge. The state of the art and future research perspectives in this framework will be highlighted and discussed in this webinar by the PhD students enrolled in the EU funded MSCA Project BIGMATH <http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/> (grant n. 812912), starting from a set of challenging industrial case studies. Additionally some well known keynote speakers will introduce their point of view on possible future perspectives in different specific and quite hot subject areas related with the analysis of complex and big data. -- ------------------------------------ Alessandra Micheletti Associate Professor - Probability and Mathematical Statistics Dept. of Environmental Science and Policy - ESP Università degli Studi di Milano via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano, Italy phone: +39-02503-16130 fax: +39-02503-16090 https://alessandramichelettiwebpage.wordpress.com/
