APSPS/統計数学セミナー 6/14

[Yuta Koike]

IBISMLの皆様

東京大学の小池です。

6月のAsia-Pacific Seminar in Probability and Statistics (APSPS)の告知です。

Date: 14 June (Wed), 2023
Time: 14:30 (Japan)
Speaker: Yannis Yatracos, Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University
Title: Limitations of the Wasserstein minimum distance estimates (MDE)
for univariate data
Abstract: For univariate data from a Black-Box with input θ and
underlying, unknown model with heavy tails, we observe in simulations
and confirm theoretically that the relative efficiency of the minimum
Kolmogorov distance estimate, θMKD, with respect to the Minimum
Wasserstein  distance estimate, θMWD, converges to zero as the sample
size, n, increases. The disturbing findings for θMWD are due to the
unboudedness of the Wasserstein distance and the heavy tails of the
underlying model. These findings, along with existing drawbacks of the
Wasserstein distance for multivariate data, do not support its use in
statistical inference, in particular for Black-Box data.

Asia-Pacific Seminar in Probability and Statistics


The seminar is created as a permanent forum for good research in the
field. It is our way to counterbalance the restrictions imposed on us
by the pandemic and to still promote scientific exchange and
cooperation. It will run using Zoom.

Topics include probabilistic models for natural phenomena, stochastic
processes and statistical inference, statistical problems in
high-dimensional spaces, asymptotic methods, statistical theory of
diversity. At the same time, there are no restrictions on other topics
of the seminar presentations.

The emphasis is on novelty, but even more so, on beauty, and clarity.
Where possible, heuristic arguments are preferred to presentation of
technical details.  Speakers are encouraged to discuss meaningful
applications and open problems.  Good reviews are welcome.
Presentations should be accessible to good postgraduate students in
probability and mathematical statistics.

The Board of the Seminar consists of

Sanjay Chaudhuri (NUS, Singapore),
Mark Holmes (University of Melbourne, currently at UBC, Vancouver),
Estate Khmaladze (VUW, Wellington), Chair,
Soumendu Sundar Mukherjee (ISI, Kolkata),
Teppei Ogihara (University of Tokyo, Tokyo)
Spiro Penev (UNSW, Sydney),
Rahul Roy (ISI, Delhi)
Lijiang Yang (Tsinghua University, Beijing)
Nakahiro Yoshida (University of Tokyo,Tokyo).


The Board is responsible for the programme. All of us will be happy to
discuss details with potential speakers. Please, e-mail us if you
would like to contribute -- addresses readily obtainable on the web.

We plan to run seminars on Wednesdays, once a month. Time will vary in
between UTC+10 - UTC+12 (India) and UTC+17 - UTC+20 (New Zealand).
Specific dates will be given on the web-page
