An information theory based search for homogeneity on the largest
  accessible scale
  We analyze the SDSS DR12 quasar catalogue to test the large-scale smoothness
in the quasar distribution. We quantify the degree of inhomogeneity in the
quasar distribution using information theory based measures and find that the
degree of inhomogeneity diminishes with increasing length scales which finally
reach a plateau at $\sim 250 \, h^{-1}\, {\rm Mpc}$. The residual inhomogeneity
at the plateau is consistent with that expected for a Poisson point process.
Our results indicate that the quasar distribution is homogeneous beyond length
scales of $250 \, h^{-1}\, {\rm Mpc}$.
