Title: Matching Random Features
Abstract: We can do statistical inference on simulation models by adjusting the parameters in the simulation so that the values of randomly chosen functions of the simulation output match the values of those same functions calculated on the data. Results from the ”statespace reconstruction” or “geometry from a time series” literature in nonlinear dynamics indicate that just 2d + 1 such functions will typically suffice to identify a model with a d-dimensional parameter space. Results from the “random features” literature in machine learning suggest that using random functions of the data can be an efficient replacement for using optimal functions. In this talk, I sketch some of the key results, present numerical evidence about the new method’s properties, and lay out an agenda for research.

Title: Spectral central limit theorem for additive functionals of Gaussian
fields
Abstract: We consider a centered, continuous, stationary, Gaussian field on
the Euclidean space and a sequence of non-linear additive functionals of
the field. Since the pioneering works from the 80s by Breuer, Dobrushin,
Major, Rosenblatt, Taqqu and others, central and non-central limit theorems
for this kind of functionals have never ceased to be refined. The common
intuition is that the limit is Gaussian when we have short-memory and
non-Gaussian when we have long-memory and the Hermite rank R is different
from 1. Our goal is to show that this can be a misleading intuition. To do
that, we introduce a spectral central limit theorem, which highlights a
variety of situations where the limit is Gaussian in a long-memory context
with R different from 1. Our main mathematical tools are the
Malliavin-Stein method and Fourier analysis. The talk is based on a joint
work with Ivan Nourdin (University of Luxembourg).

Dear colleagues,
we are happy to announce the following online talk:
Speaker: *Lorenzo Taggi* (Università di Roma "La Sapienza")
Title: *Macroscopic loops in the Bose gas, Spin O(N) and related models.*
Abstract: We consider a system of closed random walks which interact
through a potential which depends on their mutual distance. The model is an
intriguing mathematical object on its own and is closely related to the
probabilistic reformulation of the interacting Bose gas in discrete
space, to spin systems and to the dimer model. We study the model in
dimension d > 2 and prove the occurrence of a phase transition
corresponding to the presence of macroscopic loops, whose length is
proportional to the size of the system, as the chemical potential is large
enough. For the interacting Bose gas the proof of this phase transition is
referred to as Bose-Einstein condensation and is one of the most important
open problems in statistical mechanics.
Date and time: *Monday June 20, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)*.

Titolo: ''Robust assessment of life insurance products ''
Abstract: Survival probabilities are required in many actuarial evaluations, such as the computation of net premiums in the life insurance business. As the output of a statistical procedure, their estimation is subject to uncertainty.
In this article, we propose a robust assessment for the net premium of a standard life insurance contract with respect to the uncertainty on the estimated residual lifetime distribution function. Specifically, we provide a method to derive the range of values that the net premium of a given contract can attain when considering all residual lifetime distribution functions that satisfy an L^2 distance constraint with a reference distribution function.
The results obtained in this chapter can be used to obtain a conservative evaluation of the net premium that an insurance company should charge for a life insurance contract in order to avoid financial losses due to unexpected changes in longevity trends.
Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare,
Cordiali saluti,
Valeria
