Scientific paper

The paper considers a statistic that is sensitive to differences in the galaxy distribution of the Shane-Wirtanen catalog and similar random catalogs with the same low-order galaxy autocorrelation functions. It has been indicated by numerical experiments that this statistic is a measure of the filamentary structure in these catalogs. The present results show that there is significantly more filamentary structure in the Shane-Wirtanen galaxy distribution than in model catalogs without added chainlike structure.
