Abstract
Abstract Using data containing stylometric markers for depression and Alzheimer’s disease, the 45 novels of Iris Murdoch and P.D. James are examined to see if a signature of an individual, their personality, changes over time due to life events and natural ageing. We use variants of the critical slowing down 1-lag autocorrelation and coefficient of skewness techniques with a multivariate identity measure, RPAS to visualize these changes. We find that life events such as depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s disease might be identified outside of natural ageing through a tipping point phenomenon. We believe these techniques might be a useful self-help tool to aid in the signalling of depressive episodes, such as averting suicide, and the early identification of Alzheimer’s disease, or for law enforcement personnel monitoring terrorists on watch lists.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Quantitative Linguistics is an international forum for the publication and discussion of research on the quantitative characteristics of language and text in an exact mathematical form. This approach, which is of growing interest, opens up important and exciting theoretical perspectives, as well as solutions for a wide range of practical problems such as machine learning or statistical parsing, by introducing into linguistics the methods and models of advanced scientific disciplines such as the natural sciences, economics, and psychology.
