Lennon or McCartney?
How statistical modelling can work out which Beatle wrote which song.
The Beatles, a four piece band from Liverpool, are the bestselling band in history and an integral part of the swinging sixties. Those are facts. What is less known is who was behind many of the group鈥檚 top selling hits, John Lennon or Paul McCartney. But how can we tell when they themselves could never agree? Through maths of course! We speak to statistical analysists Professors Jason Brown and Mike Glickman, who have looked at the statistical side of musical signatures to solve the argument once and for all. Maybe.
