Abstract

"Since the advent of modern programmable high speed computers, a new science of computer assisted literary 'stylometry' or 'wordprinting' has been developing. By statistically analyzing the small non-contextual word patterns of a disputed document, it is now possible to test which suspected authors did not write a given work," reports John L. HIiton.
