For descriptions of the methods (AM1, HF, MP2, ...) and basis sets (3-21G, 3-21G*, 6-31G, ...) see the glossary in section I.C. Predefined means the basis set used is determined by the method.
Some of the above values were taken from
A.P. Scott, L. Radom, Harmonic Vibrational Frequencies: An Evaluation of Hartree-Fock, Moller-Plesset, Quadratic Configuration Interaction, Density Functional Theory and Semiempirical Scale Factors, J. Phys. Chem. 100, 16502, 1996
In this table many scale factors were assumed to be the same for different basis sets and similar methods.
