There is empirical evidence that the two-point correlation function
of the galaxy point pattern follows for small r
reasonably well a power-law expression 
.
This paper analyses the estimation procedure
for γ and suggests an estimator for 
which is well suited for the estimation of γ.
Key words: large-scale structure of Universe / cosmology: theory
