dc.description.abstract	The classical matrix balancing problem has many applications in areas such as economics and statistics. Generally, solutions to instances of this problem are found by minimizing either a squared or entropy objective function. This paper introduces a new procedure for solving the problem derived from a weighted least absolute value objective function. An efficient algorithm, incorporating the ideas of piecewise linear programming with the traditional transportation algorithm, is developed and presented. A simple example is illustrated and a computer program, written in FORTRAN, is given. Finally, special features of the program are discussed.	en_US
