At first glance, the analysis table may appear confusing. In fact, there are not only serious differences between the variables, where mf2c clearly stands out. The classifiers also do not evaluate uniformly, which has to do with the respective mathematical core of the calculations. Here, svm shows the greatest consistency because the decision level is very high and even the smaller windows arrive at unambiguous evaluations. However, it should not be overlooked that the decision in favour of one author does not necessarily exclude other authors. As the 3000 window (T66 to T111) of the svm classifier and its Shakespeare assignment in its R Stylo diagram, which was opened up with mf3c, shows, the next closest values all belong to Chapman.

As the following attribution tables suggest, Shakespeare and Chapman keep their status as authorship candidates:
