New metrics offer interpretable approaches to authorship attribution

Researchers have introduced two novel metrics, Rank-Turbulence Delta and Jensen-Shannon Delta, to enhance authorship attribution by generalizing classical Delta methods. These new measures utilize distance functions designed for probabilistic distributions, offering a more interpretable approach to analyzing word-frequency vectors. The effectiveness of these metrics was demonstrated across literary corpora in English, German, French, and Russian, with Jensen-Shannon Delta consistently matching or surpassing the performance of established methods.
