Patton2 1Bilkent Information Retrieval Group, Computer Engineering Department, Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey; 2Information Technology Services, Miami University, Oxford, OH, USA ABSTRACT This article provides a century-wide quantitative analysis of the Turkish literature using 40 novels of 40 authors. We divide the century into four eras or quarter-centuries; allocate 10 novels to each era, and partition each novel into equal-sized blocks. Using cross- validation-based discriminant analysis, with the most frequent words as discriminators, we achieve a classification rate with a relatively high accuracy when the novel blocks are classified according to their eras. We show that, by using statistical stylistic methods, the author gender of Turkish texts can be accurately identified.
