题目：Estimation of Elliptical Copula Correlation Matrix
摘要：This talk addresses aspects of the non-asymptotic statistical inference problem for the semiparametric elliptical copula model. The semiparametric elliptical copula model is the family of distributions whose dependence structures are specified by parametric elliptical copulas but whose marginal distributions are left unspecified. An elliptical copula is uniquely characterized by a characteristic generator and a copula correlation matrix Sigma. In this talk, we will consider the estimation of Sigma by the natural plug-in estimator Sigmahat formed thorugh rank-based Kendall's tau statistic. I will exhibit (reasonably) sharp bounds on the operator norm of Sigmahat - Sigma via either matrix concentration inequalities or Gaussian concentration inequalities. If time permits I will also present applications of these bounds.

题目：Machine Learning Algorithms for Mode-of-action Classification in Toxicity Assessment
摘要：We present machine learning approaches for MOA assessment. Computational tools based on artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) are developed to analyze the time-concentration response curves (TCRCs) of human cell lines responding to tested chemicals. The techniques are capable of learning data from given TCRCs with known MOA information and then making MOA classification for the unknown toxicity. A novel data processing step based on wavelet transform is introduced to extract important features from the original TCRC data. From the dose response curves, time interval leading to higher classification success rate can be selected as input to enhance the performance of the machine learning algorithm. This is particularly helpful when handling cases with limited and imbalanced data. The validation of the proposed method is demonstrated by the supervised learning algorithm applied to the exposure data of HepG2 cell line to 63 chemicals with 11 concentrations in each test case. Classification success rate in the range of 85 to 95 % are obtained using SVM for MOA classification with two clusters to cases up to four clusters.

题目：Estimating Subgroup-specific Treatment Effects via Concave Fusion
摘要：Understanding treatment heterogeneity is essential to the development of precision medicine, which seeks to tailor medical treatments to subgroups of patients with similar characteristics. One of the challenges to achieve this goal is that we usually do not have a priori knowledge of the grouping information of patients with respect to treatment. To address this problem, we consider a heterogeneous regression model by assuming that the coefficients for treatment variables are subject-dependent and belong to different subgroups with unknown grouping information. We develop a concave fusion penalized method and derive an alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm for its implementation. The method is able to automatically estimate the grouping structure and the subgroup-specific treatment effects. We show that under suitable conditions the oracle least squares estimator with a priori knowledge of the true grouping information is a local minimizer of the objective function with high probability. This provides a theoretical justification for the statistical inference about the subgroup structure and treatment effects. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method by simulation studies and illustrate its application by analyzing the data from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Study.

题目：害虫治理与半连续动力系统理论
摘要：农业害虫治理问题一直以来备受人们的关注，对害虫所采取的控制手段也随之成为学者们的一个研究热点。喷洒杀虫剂是传统而有效的治理手段，但广泛使用杀虫剂不仅会给人类和环境带来一定的风险，还会大量毁灭可提供生物防治服务的天敌物种。害虫综合治理以最小的使用有害农药和其他不受欢迎的措施可有效地实现对害虫的治理效果。本报告主要结合基于状态反馈的害虫综合治理手段，介绍几类基于状态反馈控制的害虫综合治理模型，同时借助于半连续动力系统理论对模型进行动力学性态分析，以期为实际害虫综合治理过程提供理论参考和依据。

5.薄立军教授讲座
题目：Risk Sensitive Control and Cascading Defaults
摘要：We consider an optimal risk-sensitive portfolio allocation problem accounting for the possibility of cascading defaults. Default events have an impact on the distress state of the surviving stocks in the portfolio. We study the recursive system of non-Lipschitz quasi-linear parabolic HJB-PDEs associated with the value function of the control problem in the different default states of the economy. We show the existence of a classical solution to this system via super-sub solution techniques and give an explicit characterization of the optimal feedback strategy in terms of the value function. We prove a verification theorem establishing the uniqueness of the solution. A numerical analysis indicates that the investor accounts for contagion effects when making investment decisions, reduces his risk exposure as he becomes more sensitive to risk, and that his strategy depends non-monotonically on the aggregate risk level. This is a joint work with J. Birge (Chicago) and A. Capponi (Columbia).

题目: Random sampling and reconstruction algorithm
摘要: We consider random sampling in finitely generated shift-invariant spaces $V(\Phi) \subset {\rm L}^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ generated by a vector $\Phi (\varphi_1,\ldots,\varphi_r) \in {\rm L}^2(\mathbb{R}^n)^r$. Following the approach introduced by Bass and Gr\"ochenig, we consider certain relatively compact subsets $V_{R,\delta}(\Phi)$ of such a space, defined in terms of a concentration inequality with respect to a cube with side lengths $R$. Under very mild assumptions on the generators, we show that for $R$ sufficiently large, taking $O(R^n log(R^{n^2/\alpha'}))$ many random samples (taken independently uniformly distributed within $C_R$) yields a sampling set for $V_{R,\delta}(\Phi)$ with high probability. Here $\alpha' \le n$ is a suitable constant. We give explicit estimates of all involved constants in terms of the generators $\varphi_1, \ldots, \varphi_r$.
