Seminario di Ilaria Peri presso Prometeia - Bologna
by Giacomo Scandolo 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Il giorno Giovedì 12 Febbraio 2015, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna Ilaria PERI (ESC Rennes School of Business) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Lambda value at risk: a new backtestable alternative to VaR" Abstract A new risk measure, the lambda value at risk (ΛVaR), has been recently proposed from a theoretical point of view as an immediate generalization of the value at risk (VaR). The ΛVaR appears to be attractive for its potential ability to solve several problems of the VaR. This paper presents the first empirical application of the ΛVaR to equity markets. Our benchmark approach reveals that the ΛVaR is able to capture extreme downward scenarios and react to market fluctuations significantly faster than the VaR and expected shortfall. In addition, we show that the ΛVaR satisfies the elicitability property under general conditions. This property guarantees proper backtesting and statistically meaningful comparisons among ΛVaR and VaR. Hence, we perform a backtesting exercise by adapting the VaR hypothesis-testing framework. The results display a higher level of accuracy for our ΛVaR calibrations. Our comparative analysis also shows that ΛVaR performs better than VaR.

Dear Colleagues, Please forward this announcement to interested master students and potential candidates. ========================================================== PhD POSITIONS are available at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques et Applications, UMR 7348 University of Poitiers and CNRS (France) http://www.univ-poitiers.fr/home-750171.kjsp?RH=1328179805685&RF=1328179651… http://rech-math.sp2mi.univ-poitiers.fr/en/index.shtml Applications for PhD candidates in applied probability and statistics are welcome. There is a possibility to work under the supervision of Pierre-Yves LOUIS http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/ around the topic: Stochastic dynamics for large networks Stochastic models are nowadays of main interest in several applicative fields: ecology, population biology, wildfire, social networks. More individual specificities of constituting entities (sites) can be considered. A global macroscopic state emerges from the sites’ interaction. These individually-based models are following the micro/macro description workflow defining the statistical mechanics scientific field. A large, possibly infinite, number of sites is considered. These interacting dynamical systems motivate theoretical, numerical and applied challenges. These systems of stochastic processes may be used also to sample from random fields on complicated structures as the one considered in biology. Monte-Carlo methods are used to solve related statistical questions. The PhD thesis will consider one of the following topics which are strongly related to complex systems in computer science, statistical physics and computational biology. The PhD candidate has the opportunity to choose between the following challenging projects: - Interacting Stochastic Dynamics on trees - Stochastic algorithms, Gibbs sampling - Application of stochastic methods to data classification ======================== Application deadline: 31 March 2015 through http://s2i.ed.univ-poitiers.fr/dv_demarrer_une_these/recrutement-demarrer-u… AND please contact Pierre-Yves Louis as soon as possible Please send one pdf with your resume, and possibly a list of taken courses with grades, a copy of your master thesis and at least two names as references to pierre-yves.louis(a)math.cnrs.fr ======================== For more details please see the pdf-file http://pylouis.perso.math.cnrs.fr/proposition_sujet_these_2015_LOUIS_fr.pdf and for the application procedure to http://s2i.ed.univ-poitiers.fr/dv_demarrer_une_these/recrutement-demarrer-u… ======================== Requirements You have an MSc in mathematics, with a proven interest in probability theory and statistics.

Seminario di Probabilita' - Universita' di Padova
by alessandra bianchi 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Ho il piacere di invitarvi ai seguenti seminari, che si terranno giovedì 12 Febbraio, dalle ore 14:30, nell'aula 2BC30 della Torre Archimede presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Padova. 14.30 -15.30 Giuseppe Canizzaro (Technical University of Berlin) TITLE: SDEs with distributional drift and Polymer measure ABSTRACT: We study existence and uniqueness of solution for stochastic differential equations with distributional drift by giving a meaning to the Strook-Varadhan martingale problem associated to such equations. The approach we exploit is the one of paracontrolled distributions recently introduced by Gubinelli, Imkeller and Perkowski in their by now celebrated paper "paracontrolled distributions and singular PDEs". As a result, we make sense of the two and three dimensional polymer measure and show some of its properties. 15.30-16.30 Alberto Chiarini (Technical University of Berlin) TITLE: (Local) CLT for symmetric Diffusions in a degenerate Random Environment. ABSTRACT: We study a symmetric diffusion $X$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in divergence form in a stationary and ergodic environment, with measurable unbounded and degenerate coefficients. The diffusion is formally associated with $L^\omega u = \nabla\cdot(a^\omega\nabla u)$. We prove for $X$ a quenched (local) central limit theorem, under some moment conditions on the environment; the key tools are the sublinearity of the corrector and a parabolic Harnack's inequality both obtained using the celebrated Moser's iteration technique. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Pura e Applicata Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

Seminario REPETTO (RGS & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 9 Febbraio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Aqueous humour flow in the presence of intraocular lenses" Rodolfo REPETTO, Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Genoa Abstract: Lens placement in the anterior chamber is an increasingly popular method of correcting vision. The lens has a diameter slightly larger than the pupil aperture, and it is placed centrally and just anterior to the iris. The use intraocular lenses is generally very effective and has proven to have good long term clinical outcomes. However, the presence of the lens can lead to possible undesired side effects, including a reduction in endothelial cell density onthe inner corneal surface, which reduces corneal nourishing. Another possible problem is an increase in the resistance to fluid flow between the posterior and anterior chambers of the eye. Aqueous humour is required to flow between these chambers and if the resistance increases sufficiently then pupillary block could occur, meaning the pressure in the posterior chamber increases, which could result in angle closure glaucoma. If the risk is thought to be high the niridotomy is typically used, in which a hole is created in the iris in order to allow flow to by pass the pupil aperture, creating an alternative low-resistance pathway for the aqueous humour. As well as the flow described above, other effects can lead to flow in the anterior chamber. Firstly, there is a temperature gradient between the inner corneal surface and the iris and lens, depending on the difference between atmospheric and body temperature. Combined with gravitational effects, this leads to a buoyancy-driven flow. Secondly, the eye performs saccades, and rotational saccades lead to accelerations and hence flow. In addition, other movements, such as lens movement during accommodation, rubbing the eye, and accidental impacts will lead to flow. In this presentation we show results from a model of flow due to pressure gradient, thermal and saccadic effects in the posterior and anterior chambers in an eye, both with and without the artificial lens in place. We adopt both an analytical approach based on the use of the lubrication theory and a fully numerical model to assess the wall shear stress on the corneal surface, the pressure drop between the posterior and anterior chambers, with the aim of understanding how the positioning of the lens affects these quantities. In the second part of the talk some open issues concerning the fluid mechanics of the eye will also be presented and briefly commented upon. ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/. -- ------------------------------- Giacomo Aletti, Associate Professor ADAMSS Centre (ex MIRIAM) Advanced Applied Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Department of Mathematics (www.matematica.unimi.it) Via Saldini, 50 20133 Milano, Italy Tel: +39-02-503.16158 Fax:+39-02-503.16090 Cell: +39-340-9739142
