Abstract
We formulate a theory for the statistics of the dynamics of a classical wave propagating in random media by analyzing the frequency derivative of the phase under the assumption of a Gaussian process. We calculate frequency correlations and probability distribution functions of dynamical quantities, as well the first non-Gaussian [Formula Presented] correction. In A. Z. Genack, P. Sebbah, M. Stoytchev, and B. A. van Tiggelen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 715 (1999), microwave measurements have been performed to which this theory applies.
