Abstract: This paper establishes the convergence of iterative routines for matrix balancing in which some row and some column totals must equal prespecified positive numbers. This balancing procedure is called a modified biproportional problem. Applications of the procedure are cited, various theoretical properties discussed, and its relationship with the full biproportional problem, treated in an earlier paper (Macgill, 1977a), is noted.
