  We present a series of results from a clustering analysis of the first data
release of the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) Deep
Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey. VIDEO is the only survey currently
capable of probing the bulk of stellar mass in galaxies at redshifts
corresponding to the peak of star formation on degree scales. Galaxy clustering
is measured with the two-point correlation function, which is calculated using
a non parametric kernel based density estimator. We use our measurements to
investigate the connection between the galaxies and the host dark matter halo
using a halo occupation distribution methodology, deriving bias, satellite
fractions, and typical host halo masses for stellar masses between
$10^{9.35}M_{\odot}$ and $10^{10.85}M_{\odot}$, at redshifts $0.5<z<1.7$. Our
results show typical halo mass increasing with stellar mass (with moderate
scatter) and bias increasing with stellar mass and redshift consistent with
previous studies. We find the satellite fraction increased towards low
redshifts, increasing from $\sim 5\%$ at $z\sim 1.5$, to $\sim 20\%$ at $z\sim
0.6$, also increasing for lower mass galaxies. We combine our results to derive
the stellar mass to halo mass ratio for both satellites and centrals over a
range of halo masses and find the peak corresponding to the halo mass with
maximum star formation efficiency to be $ \sim 2 \times10^{12} M_{\odot}$ over
cosmic time, finding no evidence for evolution.
