We present two related techniques to measure the two-point correlation function and the power spectrum with edge correction in any spatial dimensions. The underlying algorithm uses fast Fourier transforms for calculating the two-point function with an heuristically weighted edge corrected estimator. Once the correlation function is measured, we estimate the power spectrum via numerical integration of the Hankel transform connecting the two. We introduce an efficient numerical technique based on Gauss-Bessel-quadrature and double exponential transformation. This, combined with our, or any similar, two-point function estimator leads to a novel edge corrected estimator for power spectra. The pair of techniques presented are the Euclidean analogs of those developed and widely used in cosmic microwave background research for spherical maps.
