Collaboration is a complex process. I would suggest that using statistics to analyze this complex process is just introducing more chances for an error in results. If you read that the statistical error rate for predicting authorship of all Beatle songs was 20%, instead of saying it predicted correctly 80% of the time, you can see just how complex things are.
Collaboration can take place faster than the speed of memory, when inspiration is in the air and ideas are knocking back and forth. What I'll really be impressed with is someday if we can simulate the collaboration process and recreate past ones with computer graphics. In the meantime, we should probably just plan on videoing all those creative brainstorming sessions as we are waiting for the moment to arise.
