INTRODUCTION On the basis of experimental observations on animals, clinical applications on patients and theoretical statistical reasoning, the author developed a general mathematical model of “probacent”-probability equation that may be applicable as a general approximation method to make useful predictions of probable outcomes in a variety of biomedical phenomena [1-4]. On the basis of experimental observations on animals, applications to clinical data on patients and theoretical statistical reasoning, the author developed a com- puter-assisted general mathematical model of the “probacent”-probability equation, Eq.1 and death rate (mortality probability) equation, Eq.2 derivable from Eq.1 that may be applicable as a general ap- proximation method to make useful predictions of probable outcomes in a variety of biomedical phe- nomena [1-4]. Eqs.1 and 2 contain a constant, γ and c, respectively. In the previous studies, the author used the least maximum-difference principle to determine these constants that were expected to best fit reported data, minimizing the deviation. In this study, the au- thor uses the method of computer-assisted least sum of squares to determine the constants, γ and c in con- structing the “probacent”-related formulas best fit- ting the NCHS-reported data on survival probabili- ties and death rates in the US total adult population for 2001. The results of this study reveal that the method of computer-assisted mathematical
