Doug,

There is a list of all ITK method names at:

http://public.kitware.com/Insight/Doxygen/html/functions.html

Compute is fairly popular as is Calculate. Unfortunately, we were not very
consistent in the early days of ITK. So many new classes and methods were
being added without much review. We try to be more careful now since once we
release an API we are committed to maintain it and not change it on the
future.
