The versified play Henry VIII is nowadays widely recognized to be a collaborative work not written solely by William Shakespeare. We employ combined analysis of vocabulary and versification together with machine learning techniques to determine which authors also took part in the writing of the play and what were their relative contributions. Unlike most previous studies, we go beyond the attribution of particular scenes and use the rolling attribution approach to determine the probabilities of authorship of pieces of texts, without respecting the scene boundaries. Our results highly support the canonical division of the play between William Shakespeare and John Fletcher proposed by James Spedding, but also bring new evidence supporting the modifications proposed later by Thomas Merriam.

莎士比亚和弗莱彻在《亨利八世》中的相对贡献：根据最常用的单词和最常用的节奏模式进行的分析

如今，多才多艺的剧作《亨利八世》（Henry VIII）是一部合作的作品，并非仅由莎士比亚（William Shakespeare）撰写。我们结合词汇和多功能化的综合分析以及机器学习技术来确定哪些作者也参与了剧本的写作以及他们的相对贡献是什么。与以前的大多数研究不同，我们超越了特定场景的归因，并使用滚动归因方法来确定文本片段的作者可能性，而无需考虑场景边界。我们的结果高度支持詹姆斯·斯佩丁（James Spedding）提出的威廉·莎士比亚与约翰·弗莱彻之间戏剧的规范划分，但也为支持后来由托马斯·梅里亚姆提出的修改提供了新的证据。
