Abstract

The processes of growth in the number of diverse words in a text, when reading in the forward and backward directions, are studied in this article. Based upon the statistics achieved from the difference between these two processes, we construct a statistical test. This statistical test is used for text homogeneity checks. The elementary model states that words in a text are selected from some dictionary independent of each other according to the Zipf–Mandelbrot law. P-values of the statistical test are calculated based on the elementary probabilistic model using the asymptotic normality of corresponding statistics. At last but not least, this statistical test is applied for the analysis of homogeneity of sequences of sonnets.
