Abstract
This contribution to the Proceedings is based on the talk given at the Conference on Birth of the Universe and Fundamental Physics, Rome, May 18-21, 1994. Some selected topics of the subject are reviewed: Models of Primordial Fluctuations; Reconstruction of the Cosmological Density Probability Distribution Function (PDF) from Cumulants; PDFs from the Zel'dovich Approximation and from Summarizing Perturbation Series; Fitting by the Log-normal Distribution.
