The pair-distribution function g describes physical correlations between electrons, while its average gBAR over coupling constant generates the exchange-correlation energy. The former is found from the latter by g = (1 - a0 partial derivative/partial derivative a0)gBAR where a0 is the Bohr radius. We present an analytic representation of gBAR (and hence g) in real space for a uniform. electron gas with density parameter r(s) and spin polarization zeta. This expression has the following attractive features: (1) The exchange-only contribution is treated exactly, apart from oscillations we prefer to ignore. (2) The correlation contribution is correct in the high-density (r(s) --> 0) and nonoscillatory long-range (R --> infinity) limits. (3) The value and cusp are properly described in the short-range (R --> 0) limit. (4) The normalization and energy integrals are respected. The result is found to agree with the pair-distribution function g from Ceperley's quantum Monte Carlo calculation. Estimates are also given for the separate contributions from parallel and antiparallel spin correlations, and for the long-range oscillations at a high finite density.
