Hi,

I have a customer with count data as follows:

                      Author1       Author1   Author2
CharA              1                    0             0
CharB              3                    4             5
CharC              2                    2             2

Each row represent certain characteristics like the number of occurences of
that characteristic in a sentence.
Author1 above represents the same person on 2 different occasions. Author2 is a
different author.

The customer's hypothesis is that there is no difference between Author1 on
both occasions with regards the characteristics while there is a difference
between Author2 and Author1 on both occasions.

Any idea what test would I use above?

Paul
