We studied the distortion of the apparent distribution of galaxies in redshift space contaminated by the peculiar velocity effect. Specifically we obtained the expressions for N-point correlation functions in redshift space with given functional form for velocity distribution f(v) and evaluated two- and three-point correlation functions quantitatively. The effect of velocity correlations is also discussed. When the two-point correlation function in real space has a power-law form, Xir(r) is proportional to r(-gamma), the redshift-space counterpart on small scales also has a power-law form but with an increased power-law index: Xis(s) is proportional to s(1-gamma). When the three-point correlation function has the hierarchical form and the two-point correlation function has the power-law form in real space, the hierarchical form of the three-point correlation function is almost preserved in redshift space. The above analytic results are compared with the direct analysis based on N-body simulation data for cold dark matter models. Implications on the hierarchical clustering ansatz are discussed in detail.
