- Abstract
The article is a response to a letter from Pervez Rizvi regarding the use of software in authorship attribution research. The authors admit to an error in their previous essay and apologize to Rizvi for overlooking a line of his code. They reject the rest of Rizvi's complaints. The authors also address Rizvi's objections to the use of different settings in their experiments and the calculation of limit probabilities in Markov Chain analysis. They challenge Rizvi to explain how their tests confirm co-authorship attributions in Shakespeare's plays if he believes their tests are worthless. The authors provide evidence that Rizvi did test and publish his views on these plays. They conclude by stating that if Rizvi still believes in co-authorship, he must explain why their supposedly worthless tests confirm his published views.
