Not intending to get into the specific topic, but the process in a recent article is related to your question:
http://www.patheos.com/community/deaconsbench/2011/06/30/computer-gives-hints-about-who-wrote-the-bible/ "The new software analyzes style and word choices to distinguish parts of a single text written by different authors, and when applied to the Bible its algorithm teased out distinct writerly voices in the holy book." "The program, part of a sub-field of artificial intelligence studies known as authorship attribution, has a range of potential applications – from helping law enforcement to developing new computer programs for writers. But the Bible provided a tempting test case for the algorithm’s creators." Allison Pollalrd has a PPT on the topic: lyle.smu.edu/~rewini/5-7339/allison.ppt Has these references: Ephratt, Michal.
