Abstract
The radiative transfer through an astronomical region populated by stochast ic clumps is studied by means of functional analytical techniques. Random d ensity fluctuations of the background medium are described by a finite numb er of parameters. In the framework, each realization of the statistics corr esponds to a possible configuration of a real clumpy region, as it is possi ble to infer from observations.
