We discuss the relation of a variety of different methods to determine energy levels in lattice QCD simulations: the generalised eigenvalue, the Prony, the generalised pencil of function and the Gardner methods. All three former methods can be understood as special cases of a generalised eigenvalue problem. We show analytically that the leading corrections to an energyin all three methods due to unresolved states decay asymptotically exponentially like. Using synthetic data we show that these corrections behave as expected also in practice. We propose a novel combination of the generalised eigenvalue and the Prony method, denoted as GEVM/PGEVM, which helps to increase the energy gap. We illustrate its usage and performance using lattice QCD examples. The Gardner method on the other hand is found less applicable to realistic noisy data.
