Postdoctoral position at the University of Torino

Project title: CONSTRUCTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND INFERENCE FOR DIFFUSIONS IN STOCHASTIC POPULATION DYNAMICS

Project supervisor: Matteo RUGGIERO (University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto) www.matteoruggiero.it https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.matteoruggiero.it&source=gmail-imap&ust=1672493619000000&usg=AOvVaw239bt7ckWe8Spzx-YVgv8U

Brief description (the focus of the project can be adapted to the position holder’s background): The project aims at constructing new diffusion processes for modelling temporally evolving vectors of frequencies and to investigate appropriate inferential strategies when these are seen as hidden Markov models. These processes typically take values on multi-dimensional or infinite-dimensional simplices, and their temporal mechanisms, often related to evolutionary forces used in stochastic population dynamics, typically have commonly used prior distributions in Bayesian statistics as stationary measures. The construction of such models will be achieved by means of approximating sequences of Markov chains after appropriate rescaling, and inference will be tackled exploiting the existence of certain dual processes through particle filtering or Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
