| Abstract | We propose an information-theoretical method of attribution of literary texts, developed within the framework of information theory and mathematical statistics. Using the proposed method, the following two problems of disputed authorship in Russian and Soviet literature were investigated: i) the problem of false attribution of some novels to Nekrasov and ii) the problem of dubious attribution of two novels to Bulgakov. The research has shown the high efficiency of the data-compression method for attribution of literary texts. |
