Introduction to Higher Order Spatial Statistics in Cosmology
arXiv:astro-ph/0505391
Abstract
In this lecture notes I concentrate on the classic and widely applicable characterization of higher order statistics by joint moments, a.k.a. higher order correlation functions, and directly related statistics. I put special emphasis on recent results, especially the connection of spatial statistics with symmetries.
