22 May '19

Dear all, we invite you to the Spring Colloquium on Probability and Finance https://events.math.unipd.it/SpringColloquium/ which will take place next week, the 28th May 2019, in Padova, Torre Archimede, room 2BC60, from 10.30 to 13.30. This colloquium is part of the research project *Information in Financial Markets: A Probabilistic Perspective*, funded by the Europlace Institute of Finance, an initiative of the Louis Bachelier Institute. We kindly ask to interested people who will join us to send an e-mail either to "fontana at math.unipd.it" or to "gcallega at math.unipd.it".

seminario probabilità statistica matematica sapienza
by Piccioni, Mauro 22 May '19

22 May '19

Il 28 maggio alle ore 14 in Aula di Consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma di terrà il seguente seminario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica: GERARD LETAC, IMT, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France MULTIVARIATE RECIPROCAL INVERSE GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTIONS: THE SURPRISING INTEGRALS OF SUPERSYMMETRY Abstract If $W=(w_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}\)$ is a symmetric matrix with $w_{ij}\geq 0$ and zero diagonal, consider the matrix $M_x=2\mathrm{diag}(x_1,\ldots,x_n)-W$ and the set $C_W$ of $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $M_x$ is positive definite. Physicists and probabilists have considered in the last ten years several integrals equivalent to $\int_{C_W}\exp(-a^*M_xa-b^*M_x^{-1}b)(\det M_x)^{q-1}dx$. According to the properties of the undirected graph $G$ associated to $W$ with vertices $1,\ldots,n$ and edges $(i,j)$ such that $w_{ij}\neq 0$, we compute some of these integrals and we study the corresponding exponential families on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with many attractive properties.

Final call "YUIMA Summer School". Free admission for students. Brixen (IT) 25-28 June 2019. Registration extended.

The first YUIMA Summer School on Computational and Statistical Methods for Stochastic Process & Third Yuima Workshop* This 4 days course aims at introducing researchers, PhD students and practitioners to several aspects of modern numerical and statistical analysis of time series through the R language and, in particular, the YUIMA package. The course covers topics of R programming, time series data handling, simulation and numerical analysis for several types of statistical models including: point processes, Hawkes processes,stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion with or without jumps, fractional Brownian motionand Lévy processes. *Program to be announced, by invitation only Who can benefit? Stochastic differential equations, with or without jumps, are nowadays used as statistical models in many contexts, including but not limited to, finance, insurance, phylogenetics, genomics, political analysis, economics,migration flow analysis,social network analysis, and more. They are continuous-time models fitted on discrete sampled data. Point processes, like Compound Poisson and Hawkes processes are used in Limit Order Book (LOB) analysis in trading and finance, as well as in the analysis of rainfalls in meteorology or in earthquakes analysis in seismology. Jump and Lèvy processes extends many of the above models to a variety of statistical distributions that are able to capture stylised facts about real time series. Last, but not least, fractional processes are typical tools of climate change studies. Although the course could not cover all of the above applications, the participants can benefit from understanding the simulation and estimation techniques for these classes of stochastic process and apply to their own research field with the help of the faculties of this summer school. Students are admitted for free! But we have a limited number of slots, register soon! Due to high requests, registration has been extended to May 31st 2019. Hurry up!

Seminar and lectures of Otavio Menezes in Roma1
by Faggionato, Alessandra 22 May '19

22 May '19

Buongiorno, la prossima settimana abbiamo ospite del Dipartimento il Dr. Otavio Menezes dell'Universita' di Lisbona, che terra' un seminario e due lezioni sul metodo di entropia per sistemi di particelle. Le lezioni sono pensate anche per studenti di dottorato. Sotto trovate i dettagli. Grazie Buona Giornata Alessandra *(A) Seminar* Monday 27 May, 16:00 Aula di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, University La Sapienza Speaker: Otavio Menezes (Univsersity of Lisbon) Title: Relative entropy and scaling limits of interacting particle systems Abstract: We obtain product approximations to the law of particle systems with exclusion and Glauber dynamics in finite volume, by establishing a bound on the relative entropy between the law of the system and the product measure. As applications of the entropy estimate we obtain the scaling limits of the density fluctuation fields close of equilibrium and bounds on the speed of convergence of the hydrodynamic limit. Joint work with Milton Jara. *(B) Minicourse* When: Tuesday 28 May, 15:00-17:00 and Wednesday 29 May, 14:00-16:00. Where: Room B, Department of Mathematics, La Sapienza Speaker: Otavio Menezes (Univsersity of Lisbon) Title: Relative entropy and scaling limits of interacting particle systems Abstract: The relative entropy method was developed by H.T. Yau in the 90’s to study the hydrodynamics of the Ginzburg-Landau model, and then adapted to several different dynamics. In this course we present the Relative Entropy Method of Yau in the context of general continuous time Markov chains, as well as recent progress in the setting of exclusion and Glauber dynamics.

Lunedì 20 maggio alle ore 14:30 in Aula di Consiglio si terrà il seminario dipartimentale della D.ssa Vittoria Silvestri che è recentemente risultata vincitrice della procedura valutativa di chiamata a RTD-A nel SSD MAT/06. Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri (Research Fellow in Mathematics, University of Cambridge) Titolo: Fluctuations and mixing for random growth models Abstract *Obtaining a rigorous understanding of the formation of complex patterns in nature is a long-standing problem, which has motivated the introduction of several probabilistic models in the Mathematics and Physics literature. In this talk I will present some of these models, both discrete and continuous, discussing asymptotic behavior, fluctuations and mixing and presenting results obtained in collaboration with L. Levine, J. Norris and A. Turner.* -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Seminario: Yosi Rinott su Privacy in data dissemination, differential privacy, and adaptivity,
by Antonio Pievatolo 16 May '19

16 May '19

Giovedì 23 maggio alle 14:30, presso il CNR-IMATI, in via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula A, si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Yosi Rinott, The Hebrew University. Title: Privacy in data dissemination, differential privacy, and adaptivity. Abstract: I will demonstrate privacy issues that arise when an agency, for example ISTAT or a hospital, disseminates data such as a sample from some population or experimental results to the public or to other agencies. Various methods used by statisticians to assess the disclosure risk, and to decrease it will be briefly reviewed (e.g., Dalenius 1977). In general, such methods depend on scenarios regarding potential intruders, such as the intruder’s prior knowledge about the sample or the population. Differential Privacy (Dwork, McSherry, Nissim and Smith2006) is an approach that avoids the need to consider such scenarios, and guarantees a well-defined notion of privacy by adding noise to all released data. I will describe some basic results on differential privacy with some discussion of its application to the release of contingency tables (Dwork and Roth 2014, Rinott, O’Keefe, Shlomo, and Skinner 2018). Ongoing work on data analysis that takes the added noise into account will be discussed. An attempt to use ideas from differential privacy to control adaptive hypotheses testing or estimation will be described. Here, “adaptive” means choosing the hypotheses to be tested after peeking (snooping) at the data, which is a major problem in data mining, and probably explains in part why so many contradictory finding appear in medical journals. -- Dr Antonio Pievatolo IMATI-CNR http://www.imati.cnr.it/joomla/index.php/people?layout=edit&id=101 ph. +39 02 23699 520
