Developed in this paper is an eight-parameter model of human mortality. A step-wise nonlinear least-squares procedure for estimating the parameters from abridged life tables is also described and implemented. Used for purposes of illustration were nine period life tables, ranging from 1900 to 1977, for the United States white male population. The agreement between the observed and calculated survival functions in the nine life tables was very good. Apart from its phenomenological interest, the model provides an effective means for calculating interpolations and extrapolations of abridged life tables, which are useful making population projections and in computer graphics.
