\begin{abstract}
Some methods for the convergence acceleration of the M{\o}ller-Plesset
perturbation series for the correlation energy are discussed. The
order-by-order summation is less effective than the Feenberg series. The
latter is obtained by renormalizing the unperturbed Hamilton operator
by a constant factor that is optimized for the third order energy. In
the fifth order case, the Feenberg series can be improved by
order-dependent optimization of the parameter. Alternatively, one may
use Pad\'e approximants or a further method based on effective
characteristic polynomials to accelerate the convergence of the
perturbation series. Numerical evidence is presented that, besides the
Feenberg-type approaches, suitable Pad\'e approximants, and also the
effective second order characteristic polynomial, are excellent tools
for correlation energy estimation. %
