Ordinal measures in authorship identification
Liviu P. Dinu, Marius Popescu · 2009
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to compare a set of distance/similarity measures, regarding theirs ability to reflect stylistic similarity between authors and texts. To assess the ability of these distance/similarity functions to capture stylistic similarity between texts, we tested them in one of the most frequently employed multivariate statistical analysis settings: cluster analysis. The experiments are done on a corpus of 30 English books written by British, American and Australian writers.
