The performance of three magnetic field determination methods is evaluated using calculated Stokes profiles. The mathematical formulation method of Babcock (1947), the statistical template method proposed by Borra et al. (1981), and the statistical correlation method developed by Weiss et al. (1978) and Jenker and Wood (1976) are analyzed. The effects of rotation on the two statistical procedures are investigated. The data reveal that the statistical methods are influenced by macroscopic velocity fields; the velocity dependence is a function of the particular magnetic field configuration, field strength, and magnetic phase. It is concluded that the two statistical methods are suitable, to a limited extent, for the modeling of stellar magnetic field geometries.
