Swift satellite measurements contributed substantially to the gamma-ray burst (GRB) redshift observations through fast slewing to the source of the GRBs. Still, a large number of bursts are without redshift. We study the celestial distribution of bursts with various methods and compare them to a random catalog using Monte-Carlo simulations. We find an anisotropy in the distribution of the intermediate class of bursts and find that the short and long population are distributed isotropically.
