Graphing functions

One of the most useful tools to spot and eliminate errors is a spreadsheet, such as Excel or QuattroPro. QSAR modelers very frequently use spreadsheets to organize data into columns and rows of standardized values of the independent and dependent parameters. Spreadsheets allow easy sorting and filtering — two important functions used to find problem data and duplicates and other errors. In addition, spreadsheets have search and replace routines, plotting, and correlation functions, which allow the data to be reviewed in various comprehensive ways. The data can also be exported to other file types, which allow analysis by other software for statistics and any types of quantitative and qualitative relationships that may exist. It cannot be emphasized enough that the typical spreadsheet functions (including graphing functions) are excellent tools to find and eliminate erroneous or questionable values, duplicates, and other problem entries. 

Huckel molecular orbitsd theory and related simple one-electron models axe concerned with the topdogy of conjugated molecules. The characteristic polynomial of the molecular graph functions in this context as the secular determinant. For more details on this topic see the chapter Graph Theory and Molecular Orbitals by Professor N. Trinajstii in this volume.
