However, these observables probe the same underlying density field, and the information content is correlated. Additionally, they share correlated (astrophysical and observational) systematic effects. I will describe the ongoing joint analysis of probes of large-scale structure in the Dark Energy Survey. The unprecedented data quality and data volume of future surveys will require a new generation of analysis frameworks, and I will conclude by outlining some of the statistical and computational challenges for the interpretation of these data sets.
