Abstract: We construct an analytic model for the mass distributions of superclusters and clusters in each supercluster. Our model is a modification of the Press-Schechter theory, and defines superclusters as the regions that have some overdensity smaller than those for usual virialized objects. We compare the mass functions with a catalog of superclusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release and found that they are in reasonable agreement with each other.
