III CFE-CMStatistics 2020 Dear Friends and Colleagues, We are delighted to have the opportunity to meet virtually in these difficult times. This year we are passing through extraordinary events that are significantly affecting our personal and professional lives. Until September 2020 we were still planning to hold part of the conference in-person. However due to the Covid-19 pandemic we were forced to have the whole conference hosted virtually. Despite the organization challenges caused by these changes in such a short time, we are happy to welcome warmly the over 1100 participants. More than ever, we acknowledge the efforts of all those involved in the conference, especially the session organizers, who had to rebuild their sessions to adapt to the online requirements. The 14th International Conference on Computational and Financial Econometrics (CFE 2020) and the 13th Inter- national Conference of the ERCIM Working Group on Computational and Methodological Statistics (CMStatistics 2020) have shown, once again, the relevance of the CFE-CMStatistics meetings at the interface of statistics, econo- metrics, empirical finance and computing. The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in compu- tational methods for economics, finance, and statistics. The CFE-CMStatistics 2020 programme consists of 250 sessions, five plenary talks and about 1000 presentations. There are over 1100 participants. The co-chairs have endeavoured to provide a balanced and stimulating programme that will appeal to the diverse interests of the participants. The international organizing committee hopes that the virtual conference will pro- vide an appropriate environment to communicate effectively with colleagues, in many cases, for the first time in months. The conference is a collective effort by many individuals and organizations. The Scientific Programme Committee, the Session Organizers, the supporting universities and many agents have contributed substantially to the organization of the conference. We acknowledge their work and the support of our networks. The Elsevier journal Econometrics and Statistics (EcoSta) has been inaugurated in 2017. The EcoSta is the official journal of the networks of Computational and Financial Econometrics (CFEnetwork) and of Computational and Methodological Statistics (CMStatistics). It publishes research papers in all aspects of econometrics and statistics, and it comprises two sections, namely, Part A: Econometrics and Part B: Statistics. The participants are encour- aged to submit their papers to special or regular peer-reviewed issues of EcoSta and its supplement Annals of Computational and Financial Econometrics. The CMStatistics has also commenced The Annals of Statistical Data Science (SDS) which will be published as a supplement of the Elsevier journal Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA). The CSDA is also the official journal of CMStatistics. You are encouraged to submit your papers to the Annals of Statistical Data Science or regular peer-reviewed issues of CSDA. Looking forward, the CFE-CMStatistics 2021 will be held at King’s College London, from Saturday the 18th of December 2021 to Monday the 20th of December 2021. Tutorials will take place on Thursday the 17th of December 2021. You are invited and encouraged to participate in these events actively. We wish you a productive and stimulating virtual conference.

First of all, I want to express my genuine gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Manuel Cabral Morais, for his guidance, constructive criticism, proofreading and specially for his patience during our weekly and stimulating meetings via Skype. My thanks are also extensive to: Professor Yarema Okhrin because without his programming sug- gestion I would have waited much longer for the simulations to end; and Professor Wolfgang Schmid for providing crucial critical values and, thus, saving me from excruciating computations and time consuming simulations. This thesis could not have been written without the support and infinite patience of my family and friends. I am deeply grateful to: my parents, Manuela and Fernando, for always being there pushing me forward; my sister Rita who showed me that even the hardest obstacles can be overcome with persistence; and my grandmother Alice who always believed in me even when I did not. i ii Resumo Uma s´erie temporal ´euma sequˆencia de observa¸c˜oes ordenadas no tempo.

  • Robust Linear Regression: Optimal Rates in Polynomial Time
    Robust Linear Regression: Optimal Rates in Polynomial Time Ainesh Bakshi* Adarsh Prasad [email protected] [email protected] CMU CMU Abstract We obtain robust and computationally efficient estimators for learning several linear mod- els that achieve statistically optimal convergence rate under minimal distributional assump- tions. Concretely, we assume our data is drawn from a k-hypercontractive distribution and an ǫ-fraction is adversarially corrupted. We then describe an estimator that converges to the 2 2/k optimal least-squares minimizer for the true distribution at a rate proportional to ǫ − , when the noise is independent of the covariates. We note that no such estimator was known prior to our work, even with access to unbounded computation. The rate we achieve is information- theoretically optimal and thus we resolve the main open question in Klivans, Kothari and Meka [COLT’18]. Our key insight is to identify an analytic condition that serves as a polynomial relaxation of independence of random variables. In particular, we show that when the moments of the noise and covariates are negatively-correlated, we obtain the same rate as independent noise. 2 4/k Further, when the condition is not satisfied, we obtain a rate proportional to ǫ − , and again match the information-theoretic lower bound. Our central technical contribution is to algo- rithmically exploit independence of random variables in the ”sum-of-squares” framework by formulating it as the aforementioned polynomial inequality. arXiv:2007.01394v4 [stat.ML] 4 Dec 2020 *AB would like to thank the partial support from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) grant N00014-18-1-2562, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No.
