| contents | Weak lensing galaxy surveys are currently undergoing a dramatic revolution as the dawn of the Stage-IV surveys are upon us. Hence, ensuring that our analysis methods are as accurate and precise as the raw data is of upmost importance. This motivated the development of a new implementation of the quadratic maximum likelihood power spectrum estimation technique, the application of the theoretical uncertainties approach to mitigate baryonic feedback biases, and to re-evaluating the criterion from which binary scale cuts are derived when aiming to eliminate baryonic biases. These techniques maximise the available information from weak lensing observations while minimising potential systematic biases, and shows how this PhD thesis contributes to the advancement of weak lensing cosmology. |
