We present an estimate of the projected two-point correlation function (2PCF) of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) over the full range of one- and two-halo scales, 0.02-120 Mpc/h. This was achieved by combining data from SDSS…

We use the projected correlation function w_p(r_p) of a volume-limited subsample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy redshift catalogue to measure the halo occupation distribution (HOD) of the galaxies of the sample.…

Adopting the framework of the Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD), we investigate the ability of galaxy clustering measurements to simultaneously constrain cosmological parameters and galaxy bias. Starting with a fiducial cosmological model…

We present models for the three-point correlation function (3PCF) of both dark matter and galaxies. We show that models based on the halo model can reasonably match the dark matter 3PCF obtained from high-resolution $N$-body simulations. On…
