▲Given a [[potential energy]] function, the radial distribution function can be found via computer simulation methods like the [[Monte Carlo method]]. It could also be calculated numerically using rigorous methods obtained from [[statistical mechanics]] like the [[Perckus-Yevick approximation]], or the [[Hypernetted-chain equation|Hypernetted Chain Theory]].
