For our experiments with stylometry, we will be using the stylo package<\/a> for R developed by Maciej Eder<\/a>, Jan Rybicki<\/a>, and Mike Kestemont<\/a>. This page is a cleaned-up version of their installation guidelines from the package’s home page as well as their “how-to<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Things to install<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. R<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. RStudio<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Mac users only: XQuartz<\/a>. You will need to restart your computer after installing this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Prep your corpus<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Create a working folder for the project you\u2019re tackling (e.g., bom-stylo).<\/li>\n
    2. Within that working folder, create a folder called \u201ccorpus\u201d and place your texts in there. It will work best if the files are plain text.<\/li>\n
    3. Make sure that each text is named with the feature that you\u2019re testing for, followed by an underscore and then whatever you want. For example, authorname_title.txt or gender_title.txt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In RStudio<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Install Stylo by typing install.packages(\"stylo\")<\/code>. You\u2019ll only need to do this once. Note the need for quotation marks.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate Stylo by typing library(stylo)<\/code>. You\u2019ll need to do this each time you start an RStudio session.<\/li>\n
      3. Move to your working folder (not<\/em> the corpus folder) with the command setwd(filepath)<\/code>. Alternatively, you can use RStudio’s menus: Session > Set Working Directory > Choose Directory...<\/code><\/li>\n
      4. Type stylo()<\/code> to start up the function with the GUI working.<\/li>\n
      5. Click OK<\/code> when you\u2019ve got all the options set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        GUI options to tweak<\/h2>\n

        Features<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Change MFW (most frequent word) count. Keep Minimum and Maximum set to identical values.<\/li>\n
        2. Change Features from words to chars if wanted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Statistics<\/h3>\n
            \n
          1. Cluster Analysis will produce a dendrogram.<\/li>\n
          2. PCA (corr.) will produce a principal component analysis, which is easier to read.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Output<\/h3>\n
              \n
            1. Click \u201cpng\u201d to save a copy of the outputted image file<\/li>\n
            2. CPA flavour<\/li>\n
                \n
              • Classic will be a simple graph with just the label of the text.<\/li>\n
              • Loadings will provide the MFW superimposed along with the labels of the text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
