Abstract
In authorship attribution domain single classifiers are often employed in research as elements of decision system. On the other hand, there is intuitive prediction that the use of multiple classifier with fusion of their outcomes may improve the quality of the investigated system. Additionally, discretization can be applied for input data which can be beneficial for the classification accuracy. The paper presents performance analysis of some multiple classifiers basing on the majority voting rule. Ensembles were composed from eight single well known classifiers. Influence of different discretization methods on the quality of the analyzed systems was also investigated.
