Editing Final Report/Thesis 2015 (section)

===Future Work===
The search engine in Task 2 contained a bug in the code that collected the number of years in which each gram occurred, rather than actual frequency of occurrence in each year.  This brings about a potential for reanalysis of the database, in particular the 5-gram data, using raw count through minor modification to the search engine code.

There is also the potential to run a limited search on the search engine results using a more sophisticated code than the one used by the 2015 group.  This could be used to generate more useful gram combinations to find commonly used English expressions or phrases that could be linked to the Somerton Man code.

According to previous group’s results and our results by using One-time pad method for task 3. Maybe One-time pad is not an appropriate method to decipher the Somerton Man code and Rubaiyat. Future group may use some new decryption methods instead of using One-time pad for task 3.  

Future students could extend the statistical analysis to perform ''hypothesis testing'' on all European languages in ''Project Gutenberg'', but an alternate method to the ''chi-squared testing'' performed would have to be utilised since the chi-squared values for the code against all other languages were too high to produce usable ''p-values''.

Another option would be to focus on English as the most likely language and statistically analyse the code against genres as conducted by the 2013 group <ref>L. Griffith and P. Varsos. (2013).

Future groups could also extend the 2013 groups analysis of the mass spectrometer data collected using laser ablation of the Somerton Man's hair <ref>L. Griffith and P. Varsos. (2013). Semester B Final Report 2013 – Cipher Cracking [online]. Available: https://www.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/personal/dabbott/wiki/index.php/Semester_B_Final_Report_2013_-_Cipher_cracking</ref>.  The hair was collected from the plaster bust of the Somerton Man made after his autopsy.  The concentration of isotopes found in the hair can be used to find out the environment the Somerton Man lived in in the lead up to his death.  Additional data from a separate hair has been taken since the 2013 group's analysis, as well as the concentration of isotopes in the plaster.  This could be used by a future group to crosscheck the data between separate hairs, as well as crosscheck the isotopes in the plaster versus the hair to see if the isotopes from the plaster may have diffused into the hair.
