• Resumen

  • The homogeneity of style in Tirant lo Blanc is analyzed using the changepoint approach. The words in the text are classified in terms of their length, grammatical function and other characteristics, and their counts for each category are assumed to be multinomially distributed. At some point in the text, the probabilities of such distribution may change. We estimate the point where this boundary happens by fitting linear and generalized linear models representing all possible step changes and searching for the best one. Our study reveals a clear stylistic boundary around chapter 345.
