We report the results of a statistical analysis of the space distribution of galaxies of the 2MRS catalog, which contains redshifts of 43533 galaxies of the 2MASS all-sky IR survey. Because of the unique features of the 2MRS survey, such as its 90% sky coverage, galaxy selection in the IR, the complete incorporation of the old stellar population of galaxies, weakness of the dust extinction effects, and the smallness of the k- and e-corrections allowed us to determine the statistical properties of the global distribution of galaxies in the Local Universe. We took into account the main methodological factors that distort the theoretically expected relations compared to those actually observed. We construct the radial galaxy number counts N(R), SL(R, r) statistics, and the complete correlation function (conditional density) Γ(r) for volume-limited (VL) galaxy samples. The observed conditional density Γ(r) in the redshift space is independent of the luminosity of galaxies and has the form of a power-law function with exponent γ ≈ 1.0 over a large range scale-length spanning from 0.1 to 100 Mpc. We compare the statistical properties of the space distribution of galaxies of the 2MRS catalog with the corresponding properties of simulated catalogs: stochastic fractal distributions and galaxies of the Millennium catalog.
