Stylometry
Different authors have different writing styles. Like the lenght of words and sentence, the frequencies of word, the frequencies of word forms, the richness of vocabulary, the use of punctuation and on. The author can also have preferences for certain spelling variants or using certain expressions.
Stylometry is the study of measurable features of style.

| Adapted by | issues | note |
|---|---|---|
| Basil Copper | 2, 3 | #2 The adaptor is not credited |
| Carson Bingham | 14 | |
| Frank S. Shawn | 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11 | #10 The adaptor is not credited |
| Lee Falk | 1, 6, 9, 12, 15 | #15 is wrongly credited as Carson Bingham |
| Warren Shanahan | 13 |
Analysis
Stylometric analysis to see if Lee Falk's correction in the "Author's note" can been confirmed.
- MFW - most frequent words
- MFC - most frequent characters
- n-Grams - Sample for character 2-grams: The Phantom said = th,he,e , p,ph,ha,an,nt, etc. Sample for word 2-grams: Hello, the Phantom said = hello the,the phantom,phantom said, etc.
- Corpus - collection of text. Here the 15 novels, from chapter 1 to the end of the novel.
Using JGAAP
The novels were prepared adding the novels to each of the authors, leaving issues 2, 10 and 15 as unknown authors. Using character 4-grams with nearest neighbor driver with metric Cosine Distance, issues 2, 10 and 15 were compared to the known authors.
The result were that the most likly author for: #2 is Basil Cooper, #10 is Frank S Shawn and #15 is Lee Falk.
Using R
The novels were put into one corpus folder. Two analysis were done: first 0-1000 MFW 2-gram and the second 0-1000 MFC 3-grams. Both using the Boostrap Consensus Tree.
The result grouping the novels according to the table above, confirming Lee Falk's correction in the "Author's note".
MFW 2-gram
MFC 4-gram
