KiDS-450: cosmological constraints from weak lensing peak statistics โ€“ I. Inference from analytical prediction of high signal-to-noise ratio convergence peaks

This paper is the first of a series of papers constraining cosmological parameters with weak lensing peak statistics using $\sim 450~\rm deg^2$ of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS-450). We measure high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR: $\nu$) weak lensing convergence peaks in the range of $3<\nu<5$, and employ theoretical โ€ฆ
