Abstract
We present a theoretical formalism to predict two-point clustering statisti cs (the power spectrum and the two-point correlation function), which simul taneously takes account of the linear velocity distortion, the nonlinear ve locity distortion (finger-of-god), the cosmological redshift-space distorti on, and the light-cone effect. To demonstrate the importance of these effec ts in exploring the clustering of objects at high redshifts, we show severa l model predictions for magnitude-limited surveys of galaxies and quasars. This methodology provides a quantitative tool to test various theoretical m odels against the upcoming precision data on clustering in the universe.
