----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8 - 20126 Milano ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- “COSTATIONARY INFERENCE FOR LOCALLY STATIONARY TIME SERIES” Alessandro Cardinali School of Computing and Mathematics, Plymouth University University of Plymouth Lunedì 10 Luglio ore 14.00 Ed. U7, 2° piano, aula 2061 __________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this presentation we illustrate a novel inferential approach to estimate time-varying parameters of locally stationary time series. This approach is based on costationary combinations, that is, time-varying deterministic linear combinations of locally stationary time series that are second-order stationary. We first review the theory of costationarity and formalize a Generalised Method of Moments estimator for the coefficient vectors. We then use this new framework to derive an estimator for the (time-varying) covariance of locally stationary time series and we show that the new covariance estimator is more efficient than classical estimators exclusively based on the evolutionary cross-periodogram. We confirm our theoretical findings through a simulation experiment. We then present a new analysis of financial log-returns showing that our new estimator is capable to highlight well known economic shocks. As a second example of our approach we finally discuss forecasting of locally stationary time series based on costationary combinations. __________________________________________________________ Cordiali saluti Fulvia Pennoni -- Fulvia Pennoni Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca http://www.statistica.unimib.it/utenti/pennoni/

Seminario di Probabilita', La Sapienza

27 Jun '17

Seminario di Probabilita' Mercoledi' 5 Luglio 2017, Ore 14.30, Aula C, Dipartimento di Matematica G Castelnuovo, Sapienza Speaker: V. Silvestri (Cambridge) Title: The reset time of Internal DLA Abstract: Consider Internal DLA on cylinder graphs of the form GxZ. How does a large cluster typically look like? How long does it take for the process to forget its initial profile? In this talk I will address these questions, explaining how the answer depends on the mixing properties of the base graph G.

Seminars at SNS (Pisa), 29 July 2017
by Maria Elvira Mancino 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Dear All, I am glad to announce the following two seminars at Scuola Normale Superiore on the 29th July 2017 14.30 Christa Cuchiero (University of Vienna) Title: (Probability) measure-valued polynomial diffusions Abstract: We introduce polynomial diffusions taking values in the space of (probability) measures on a Polish space, extending the finite dimensional notion of polynomial processes to the infinite dimensional case. Our main goal is tractable dynamic modeling of (probability) measures with applications in large equity markets, capital distribution curve and term structure modeling. In the case of probability measures we provide a characterization of the corresponding extended generators, prove well-posedness of the associated martingale problems and recover the well-known Fleming-Viot process as special case. We obtain uniqueness of the martingale problem by establishing a formula for the conditional moments of the solution, which in the finite-dimensional case reduces to a matrix exponential. 15.30 Short break 16.00 Josef Teichmann (ETH-Zurich) Title: Affine processes and non-linear (PI)DEs Abstract: Motivated by works Dynkin, McKean, LeJan/Sznitman, Henry-Labordere and many others we show an abstract representation property for solutions of non-linear (PI)DEs by affine processes. This allows on the one hand to establish original simulation algorithms, on the other hand even to come up with new types of existence results for DEs. (joint work with Christa Cuchiero). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone is invited to participate.

Announcement of two talks, probability seminar, University of Pisa, Tuesday, June 27, 11:00h - 13:00h
by Carina Geldhauser 25 Jun '17

25 Jun '17

Announcement of two talks in the probability seminar at the University of Pisa. DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, June 27, 11:00h - 13:00h LOCATION: Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Pisa SPEAKER 1: Remi Catellier (Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis) TITLE: Averaging along irregular curves and regularization of ODEs. ABSTRACT: Paths of some stochasic processes such as fractional Brownian Motion have some amazing regularization properties. It is well known that in order to have uniqueness in differential systems such as $dy_t = b(y_t) dt$, $b$ needs to be quite regular. However, the oscillations of a stochastic process added to the system will guarantee uniquneness for really irregular $b$. In this talk we will show how to solve the perturbed differential system with a certain stochastic averaging operator. As an application, we show that the stochastic transport equation driven by fractional Brownian motion has a unique solution when $u_0 \in L^{\infty}$ and $b$ is a possibly random $\alpha$-Hoelder continuous function for $\alpha$ large enough. This is a joint work with Massimiliano Gubinelli. After a short break, at around 12:15h, we will continue with a second talk by SPEAKER 2: Michel Nassif (ENS Rennes) TITLE: Introduction to interacting particle systems ABSTRACT: Interacting particle systems is a recently developed field in the theory of Markov processes with many applications: particle systems have been used to model phenomena ranging from traffic behaviour to spread of infection and tumour growth. We introduce this field through the study of the simple exclusion process. We will construct the generator of this process and we will give a convergence result of the spatial particle density to the solution of the heat equation. We will also discuss a variation of the simple exclusion process with proliferation. Everyone is invited to participare. For more information and a longer abstract of the first talk in pdf format, please contact carina.geldhauser(a)dm.unipi.it
