Binongo and Smith (1999) outline a pedagogical framework for applying principal component analysis to computational stylometry, illustrating the method with a two‑marker‑word pictorial model, extending it to multiple marker words, and demonstrating its use in a Shakespearean authorship case; the paper evaluates methodological characteristics and proposes remedies for identified shortcomings, thereby contributing to stylometric and authorship‑attribution techniques.
