Abstract
I review the most recent redshift surveys used to probe the large scale structure of the Universe. Then I provide an overview of some of the statistical tools used to describe the galaxy distribution, trying to connect these measures with some of the statistics used in the mainstream of spatial statistics. Special topics include intensity functions, topology, and second-order statistics (2-point correlation function, K-function).
