We model the evolution of the mean galaxy occupation of dark-matter halos over the range $0.1<z<1.3$, using the data from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). The galaxy projected correlation function $w_p(r_p)$ was computed for a set of…
We present detailed clustering measurements from the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) in the redshift range 0.8<z<2.1. Using a flux limited sample of ~14,000 objects with effective redshift z_eff=1.47, we estimate the quasar projected…

We study the biasing relation between dark-matter halos or galaxies and the underlying mass distribution, using cosmological $N$-body simulations in which galaxies are modelled via semi-analytic recipes. The nonlinear, stochastic biasing is…
We investigate the nonlinear two- and three-point correlation functions of the cosmological density field in Fourier space and test the popular hierarchical clustering model, that the three-point amplitude Q is independent of scale. In…
