We review the methodology for measurements of two point functions of the cosmological observables, both power spectra and correlation functions. For pseudo-$C_\ell$ estimators, we will argue that the window weighted overdensity field can…

We consider two-point correlators in SU(N) gauge theories on R4 with N=2 supersymmetry and Nf massless hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Using localization on S4, we compute the leading perturbative corrections to the…

The problem of Voodoo correlations is recognized in neuroimaging as the problem of estimating quantities of interest from the same data that was used to select them as interesting. In statistical terminology, the problem of inference…

Two-point diagnostics $Om(z_i,z_j)$ and $Omh^2(z_i,z_j)$ have been introduced as an interesting tool for testing the validity of the $\Lambda$CDM model. Quite recently, Sahni, Shafieloo $\&$ Starobinsky (2014) combined two independent…

Weighted correlation functions are an increasingly important tool for understanding how galaxy properties depend on their separation from each other. We use a mock galaxy sample drawn from the Millenium simulation, assigning weights using a…

We present the results of a quantum Monte Carlo study of the extended $s$ and the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ pairing correlation functions for the two-dimensional Hubbard model, computed with the constrained-path method. For small lattice sizes and weak…

The state of the art related to parameter correlation in two-parameter models has been reviewed in this paper. The apparent contradictions between the different authors regarding the ability of D--optimality to simultaneously reduce the…

This letter introduces several doubly, triply, and quadruply robust estimators of the controlled direct effect. Among them, the triply and quadruply robust estimators are locally semiparametric efficient, and well suited to the use of…

We introduce grlic, a publicly available Python tool for generating glass-like point distributions with a radial density profile $n(r)$ as it is observed in large-scale surveys of galaxy distributions on the past light cone. Utilising these…

Precise estimation of cross-correlation or similarity between two random variables lies at the heart of signal detection, hyperdimensional computing, associative memories, and neural networks. Although a vast literature exists on different…

In this paper, we discuss improvements of the Suto et al. (2000) model, in the light of recent theoretical developments (new theoretical mass functions, a more accurate mass-temperature relation and an improved bias model) to predict the…

We estimate the two-point angular correlation function (CF) of quasars from SDSS DR3 using a special method of comparison random catalog generation. The best-fit value for the CF power-law index is found to be $\alpha=0.78\pm0.18$ on the…

We argue that from observations alone, only the transverse power spectrum $C_\ell(z_1,z_2)$ and the corresponding correlation function $\xi(\theta,z_1,z_2)$ can be measured and that these contain the full three dimensional information. We…

We calculate the two-, three- and (for the first time) four-point correlation functions of the COBE-DMR 4-year sky maps, and search for evidence of non-Gaussianity by comparing the data to Monte Carlo-simulations of the functions. The…

We calculate the systematic errors in the weak gravitational lensing power spectrum which would be caused by spatially varying calibration (i.e. multiplicative) errors, such as might arise from uncorrected seeing or extinction variations.…

Measurements of the Hubble constant H(z) are increasingly being used to test the expansion rate predicted by various cosmological models. But the recent application of 2-point diagnostics, such as Om(z_i,z_j) and Omh^2(z_i,z_j), has…

This paper proposes a class of estimators for population correlation coefficient when information about the population mean and population variance of one of the variables is not available but information about these parameters of another…

Estimation of mutual information between (multidimensional) real-valued variables is used in analysis of complex systems, biological systems, and recently also quantum systems. This estimation is a hard problem, and universally good…

We present a stable procedure for defining and measuring the two point angular autocorrelation function, w, of faint (25 < V < 29), barely resolved and unresolved sources in the HST GOODS and UDF datasets. We construct catalogs that include…

We present an analysis of the two-point angular correlation function of the ELAIS S1 survey. The survey covers 4 deg$^2$ and contains 462 sources detected at 15$\mu$m to a 5$\sigma$ flux limit of 0.45 mJy. Using the 329 extragalactic…
