Many other approaches for finding a correct structural model are possible. A short description of ab-initio, density functional, and semiempirical methods are included here. This information has been summarized from the paperback book Chemistry with Computation An Introduction to Spartan. The Spartan program is described in the Computer Software section below.65 Another description of computational chemistry including more mathematical treatments of quantum mechanical, molecular mechanical, and statistical mechanical methods is found in the Oxford Chemistry Primers volume Computational Chemistry,52... 

Data reduction and interpretation are much aided by computer methods and the high speed of current microcomputers facilitates the real-time processing and display of data. The principle of extracting as much information as possible from analytical measurements through the application of statistical and other mathematical methods, usually with the aid of appropriate computer software, is known as chemometrics (p. 13).
