The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): Unbiased
  clustering estimate with VIPERS slit assignment
  The VIPERS galaxy survey has measured the clustering of $0.5<z<1.2$ galaxies,
enabling a number of measurements of galaxy properties and cosmological
redshift-space distortions (RSD). Because the measurements were made using
one-pass of the VIMOS instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), the
galaxies observed only represent approximately 47\% of the parent target
sample, with a distribution imprinted with the pattern of the VIMOS slitmask.
Correcting for the effect on clustering has previously been achieved using an
approximate approach developed using mock catalogues. Pairwise inverse
probability (PIP) weighting has recently been proposed by Bianchi & Percival to
correct for missing galaxies, and we apply it to mock VIPERS catalogues to show
that it accurately corrects the clustering for the VIMOS effects, matching the
clustering measured from the observed sample to that of the parent. We then
apply PIP-weighting to the VIPERS data, and fit the resulting monopole and
quadrupole moments of the galaxy two-point correlation function with respect to
the line-of-sight, making measurements of RSD. The results are close to
previous measurements, showing that the previous approximate methods used by
the VIPERS team are sufficient given the errors obtained on the RSD parameter.
