Pair statistics are computed for a range in ﹩\Delta v^{\mathrm{max}\,}﹩, for both ﹩r^{\mathrm{max}\,}_{p}=20﹩ h−1 kpc (left panels) and ﹩r^{\mathrm{max}\,}_{p}=50﹩ h−1 kpc (right panels). Error bars are computed using the Jackknife technique. Both Nc and Lc are cumulative statistics; hence, measurements in successive bins are not independent.
