Description

We explore the hypothetical distinction between texts of priestly (P) and non-priestly (nonP) origin in Genesis and Exodus with an independent computational and statistical methodology. We introduce a novel textual stylometry pipeline, where we intertwine descriptive and inferential statistics for distinction optimization, quantification of uncertainty, and feature importance analysis.
