    Description
    The large scale distribution of galaxies contains information about the cosmological parameters of a given model. Near future surveys, such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES), can bring new light about the nature of Dark Energy. Even before the actual data is available, it is possible to make forecasts for the accuracy of the determination of the cosmological parameters for a given survey.  In this talk I'll briefly review some features of the large scale distribution and use some expected DES results  to forecast confidence regions in the measurement of cosmological parameters.
