I wish to do a quick study in using PPM (i.e. text compression)
language models on the Shakespearean authorship
question. I've already tried the models on the Federalist
papers using extremely small training texts (~100K)
taken from the known authorship papers, and the
models were able to come to the same conclusions
as Mosteller and Wallace. Now I want to try it
on the works of Shakespeare. Any help would be
very much appreciated.
