Results obtained from an analysis of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays with energies in the region of E{sub 0} ≥ 10{sup 17} eV over the period of continuous observations from 1974 to 2017 are presented. A refined expression for estimating the primary-particle energy is used for individual events. This expression is derived from calculations aimed at determining the responses of the ground-based and underground scintillation detectors of the Yakutsk array for studying extensive air showers (EAS) and performed within theQGSJET-01-d, QGSJET-II-04, SIBYLL-2.1, and EPOS-LHCmodels by employing the CORSIKA code package. The new estimate of E{sub 0} is substantially lower than its counterpart used earlier.
