Measuring the Shape of the Galaxy Fluctuation Spectrum from SDSS

The talk will discuss the issues related to analyzing large scale
photometric and spectroscopic surveys of galaxies. It will present
the first results from the analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
data, just released the public.  The talk will also discuss how
to compute the relevant statistics once catalogs approach hundreds
of millions of objects, soon to be the case with the new sky surveys,
forming the basis of the virtual observatories.
