The quantum-defect-orbital method has been reformulated in order to include both relativistic effects and the electron correlation described by a core polarization potential. All quantities appearing in this formulation may be evaluated analytically. A comparison with experimental results demonstrates, on one hand, significance of the relativity-correlation corrections and, on the other, inadequacy of the relativistic quantum-defect-orbital approach when indirect relativistic effects are important, i.e. when atoms contain closed shells of d electrons.
