 Title: Stochastic modelling of weak lensing and parameter extraction from SNe catalogues
 Key Words: Weak Lensing, large-scale structures, parameter extraction
 Abstract: In the paper Kainulainen & Marra PRD80 2009 we introduced a simple and fast stochastic modelling of weak lensing and I would like to present at COSMO10 its recent developments:
- the mass spectrum is now given by the halo mass function,
- the modelling now includes filamentary large-scale structures.

I would like also to discuss the application of the latter work to parameter extraction from SNe catalogues. We indeed found that the inclusion of lensing effects in the analysis significantly changes the resulting best-fit model. For more informations please see:

Informations about the turboGL implementation of the stochastic method are available here:

The new version with the above mentioned additions and a follow-up paper will be available in September.
