On the stylometric authorship of Ovid's Double Heroides: an Ensemble Clustering approach

Double Heroides are six elegies traditionally attributed to Ovid, whose authenticity have been repeatedly questioned. As a contribution to establish the period of composition of these elegies, this article proposes a statistical analysis based on consensus clustering of mixed data composed of standard (i.e. scalar) and compositional variables derived by an extensive metrical study of the Ovid’s poetic production.
