Few-body correlations often express the distinguishing characteristic features of a many-body system. This thesis studies such correlations within dilute Bose-Einstein condensates in the case of arbitrary negative s-wave scattering length. The N-boson problem is solved by using an ab-initio approach based on correlated Gaussians that allows explicit inclusion of few-body correlations with a computational complexity that is independent of the number of particles. Calculations introducing all higher-order correlations are also done for small systems. In the weakly interacting regime, two-body correlations are not only the simplest but also the most important. By varying the scattering length and comparing the ground state energy for different explicitly correlated trial wave functions this assumption is investigated under both weakly and strongly interacting conditions.
