Abstract

In this paper we present a multinomial logistic regression model for authorship identification in the Albanian language texts. In the model fitted the dependent variable is categorical which takes different values from 1 to 10 for each of the author and the independent variables are number of words, number of letters, number of vowels, number of consonants, number of punctuations and number of sentences for each text. The model was applied with success in the set of ten authors, each of them being represented by a set of one hundred texts they authored. As results first, second and the third authors have the higher correct predicted percentage and the highest overall correct predicted probability taken was 0.738. As conclusion adding in the model number of consonants, number of punctuations and number of sentences as independent variables the overall correct predicted percentage is increased.
