Experiments on authorship attribution by intertextual distance in english*
Dominique Labbé · Journal of Quantitative Linguistics · 2007
How can it be said that texts are “near to” or “distant from” one another? Are different texts by a single author more similar than texts by different authors? To answer these questions, a method is proposed by calculating intertextual distance. A blind test and some additional experiments show that this calculation offers an interesting tool for non-traditional authorship attribution.
