  • Seminar: Exploratory data analysis for big data

    Speaker
    Magnus Fontes

    Description L’anàlisi exploratòria de dades fou estimulat, entre altres, per John Tukey en el seu llibre “Exploratory Data Analysis”. Des d’aleshores s’han desenvolupat moltes tècniques en connexió a l’anàlisi de les anomenades “Grans dades”. S’exposaran algunes d’aquestes tècniques matemàtiques i s’il·lustraran amb dades del camp de les “Òmiques” (genòmica, proteòmica i metabolòmica) i es presentaran diversos problemes en aquest camp.

  • Seminar: The full-tails Gamma distribution

    Speaker
    Isabel Serra

    Description The full-tails Gamma distribution is a new model for tails, that shows an interesting relationship between the Pareto distribution and the Gamma distribution. The results are applied to certain phenomena which data could be fitted by the power-law distribution or by the Pareto distribution, but they present a deviation from these laws for very large observations as well. These deviations could be due to overall bounds in the contour conditions of the phenomena. We consider some examples to show current problems in extreme value theory.

  • Epidemics on Networks: Current Trends and Challenges

    Description

    The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in the field of epidemics with different backgrounds (mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, engineers, and biologists) to present current problems as well as potential avenues of future research in network epidemiology. The programme is organized around 4 main tracks: 1. R0 and epidemiological data 2. Tackling different levels of mixing: householders, metapopulations, Markov chains, ... 3. Simplifying complexity and model reduction techniques: Heterogeneous and non-heterogeneous mean-field models 4. Capturing human behaviour in epidemic modelling: dynamical network models Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order): Julien Arino (University of Manitoba) Marian Boguñá (Universitat de Barcelona) Odo Diekmann (University of Utrecht) Ken Eames (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) Thomas House (University of Warwick) Christel Kamp (Paul-Ehrlich-Institut) Istvan Z Kiss (University of Sussex) Joel C Miller (Harvard University) Romualdo Pastor-Satorras (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) Andrea Pugliese (University of Trento) Steven Riley (Imperial College London) Caterina Scoglio (Kansas State University) Peter Simon (Eötvös Loránd University) Piet Van Mieghem (Delft University of Technology) Alessandro Vespignani (Northeastern University) Erik Volz (University of Michigan) There will be room for poster presentations (we have already received some proposals!). If interested, please submit an abstract of 2-3 pages through our web site. Important dates: Deadline for abstract submission: June 30, 2012 Deadline for communicating abstract acceptance: July 15, 2012 Deadline for registration: July 15, 2012 Early registration fee (until May 31): 200€ / Late registration fee (from June 1): 250€
