■Burrows’s Delta is the most established measure for stylometric difference in literary authorship attribution. (p. 1)
â– Authorship Attribution is a research area in quantitative text analysis concerned with attributing texts of unknown or disputed authorship to their actual author based on quantitatively measured linguistic evidence (Juola, 2006; Stamatatos, 2009; Koppel et al., 2008). (p. 1)
â– individuals have idiosyncratic habits of language use, leading to a stylistic similarity of texts written by the same person. Many of these stylistic habits can be measured by assessing the relative frequencies of function words or parts of speech, vocabulary richness (p. 1)
â– One of the most crucial elements in quantitative authorship attribution methods is the distance measure used to quantify the degree of similarity between texts. A major advance in this area has been Delta, as proposed by Burrows (2002), which has proven to be a very robust measure in different genres and languages (Hoover, 2004b; Eder and Rybicki, 2013). (p. 1)
â– we focus on word unigrams only and examine how the treatment of the input feature vector (i.e., the list of word tokens used and their frequencies) interacts with the performance of distance measures (p. 2)
