Clustering and Correlation Techniques

Clustering and Correlation Techniques


Ray Carlberg


Clustering is a topic that requires 1-2 terms to treat in detail.
Given that there is only 8 hours we need to narrow it down.
A suggestion is that we concentrate on the two point correlation
function and keep it fairly close to observational concerns.
The subtopics are then something like:

  • theoretical motivation
  • angular, real space and redshift space correlation functions
  • relation to other measures of clustering
  • correlation evolution
  • current results and issues


    Evalutation: A project on estimation of the correlation function.
