“Computational method” or “computation method”?
I proposed a method for computing the entropy of an image. In this case, can I refer to the method as a "computational method" or "computation method"?
What is the difference between "computational method" and "computation method"?
Thank you very much!

In the first case
computational method
describes the method, that you are working out the results by computation. Another method of obtaining the results could be
empirical method
which means that it is based on observations. In the second case
computation method
describes the computation itself, given the first case. That method could be, say statistical analysis.

If the emphasis is on a particular type of "method", then using "computational" as a modifier is grammatically appropriate.
