Stylometry
by John from John D. Cook on (#72ZB0)
I was reading an article this morning that mentioned a styometric analysis of a controversial paragraph written by Roman historian Flavius Josephus. I've written several posts that could be called stylometry or adjacent, but I haven't used that word. Here are some posts that touch on the statistical analysis of a text or of an author.
- Authorship in the Federalist Papers
- Using TF-IDF to pick out important words
- Natural language processing and unnatural text
- Estimating vocabulary size with Heaps' law
- How rare are rare words
- A note on Zipf's law
