Authorship of Fedele and Fortunio

BRD-Flagge auf deutsch All data were generated with R Stylo. See:

The General Imposters method (GI) was explained by Maciej Eder in his blog "Authorship verification with the package 'stylo'" of the Computational Stylistics Group. as a second verification system, GI in the optimised and previously unpublished version by Jan Rybicki identifies the grey area of uncertain assignments between the values "low" and "high". Only values above "high" qualify for authorship. GI uses the classic delta classification according to Burrows, as well as the cosine delta distance of the Würzburg Computational Stylistics Group (wu) and the very precise Ruzicka metric (ru). The search text is in column A, followed by the grey area between "low" and "high" and the authorship candidates. There is a clear preponderance in favour of Chapman, especially when the Ruzicka metric is used. The possible existence of a Munday pretext is not ruled out by GI.
