William Chen (born 1970 in Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American quantitative analyst, poker player, and software designer.

Biography

Chen holds a Ph.D. in mathematics (1999) from the University of California, Berkeley.[3] He was an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis triple-majoring in Physics, Math, and Computer Science, and was also a research intern in Washington University's Computer Science SURA Program where he co-wrote a technical report inventing an Argument Game. He heads the Statistical arbitrage department at Susquehanna International Group.

Poker career

At the 2006 World Series of Poker Chen won two events, a $3,000 limit Texas hold 'em event with a prize of $343,618, and a $2,500 no limit hold 'em short-handed event with a prize of $442,511.[4][5] Prior to these events Chen's largest tournament win was for $41,600 at a no limit hold 'em event at the Bicycle Casino's Legends of Poker in 2000.[6]

Chen has been a longtime participant[7] in the rec.gambling.poker newsgroup and its B.A.R.G.E offshoot. He has also been a member of Team PokerStars.[8]

With Jerrod Ankenman, Chen coauthored The Mathematics of Poker, an introduction to quantitative techniques and game theory as applied to poker.

In February 2009, he appeared on Poker After Dark's "Brilliant Minds" week, finishing in 5th place after his A♦ 3♦ lost to Jimmy Warren's A♠ A♥ after Chen pushed all-in on a flop of A♣ 3♣ Q♦.[9]

As of 2017, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,900,000.[2] His 38 cashes at the WSOP account for over $1,725,000 of those winnings.[1]

Recurrence plot

In descriptive statistics and chaos theory, a recurrence plot (RP) is a plot showing, for each moment i {\displaystyle i} in time, the times at which the state of a dynamical system returns to the previous state at i {\displaystyle i} , i.e., when the phase space trajectory visits roughly the same area in the phase space as at time j {\displaystyle j} . In other words, it is a plot of x → ( i ) ≈ x → ( j ) , {\displaystyle {\vec {x}}(i)\approx {\vec {x}}(j),} showing i {\...
