[QUOTE="RowdyB, post: 70409, member: 4093"] Hiya all. Sorry to necro a thread and be new at the same time! Just had something to add and it's probably more shiny than just doing a 'hiya' introduction thread. In the files provided by Hoaxhunter, there is a two word phrase from Titor which is 'great deal'. Whilst the majority of phrases presented only show up once or twice, this one phrase shows up thirty times in the Titor corpus / body of work; the phrase shows up zero times in the Haber texts. I'm not sure how this could go completely unaddressed in a complete piece of research. To give an idea of the probabilities, here are the matches next to their possible outcomes: 2 six word phrases out of over 23k unique possibilities (23966 approx) 5 five word phrases out of over 24k unique possibilities (24523 approx) 61 four word phrases out of over 24k unique possibilities (24752 approx) Over 400 three word phrases out of over 23k unique possibilities (23479 approx) I think HoaxHunter put a great deal of effort into this attempted study, and probably feels a bit upset about it. Unfortunately, I also think the conclusions are wrong. Regarding the application of 'linguistic fingerprinting', a google search would have provided multiple objections to the use of it to identify a writer. In fact, there is one such objection noted on Wikipedia. There are also multiple journal articles on the topic which HoaxHunter may not have had access to but this online journal article here may have done the trick: [url="http://atp.uclan.ac.uk/buddypress/diffusion/?p=1228"]The validity of the Linguistic Fingerprint in forensic investigation | diffusion[/url] Whilst some (even famed) cases have been progressed by the application of such a process the majority of the information that can be pulled from text comparison is more in the area of profiling and as an investigative tool combined with other evidence. There have been very few home runs purely from comparison of words as evidence alone. Hope it helps and hiya! [/QUOTE]
