Purpose
This subroutine is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Analyze the current matrix for largest/smallest coefficients and ratios
Synopsis
`problem.scaling()`
Example
The following example analyzes the matrix

    p.scaling()

Further information

The current matrix (including augmentation if it has been carried out) is scanned for the absolute and relative sizes of elements. The following information is reported:

- Largest and smallest elements in the matrix;
- Counts of the ranges of row ratios in powers of 10 (e.g. number of rows with ratio between 10 and 100);
- List of the rows (with largest and smallest elements) which appear in the highest range;
- Counts of the ranges of column ratios in powers of 10;
- List of the columns (with largest and smallest elements) which appear in the highest range;
- Element ranges in powers of 10.

Where any of the reported items (largest or smallest element in the matrix or any reported row or column element) is in a penalty error vector, the results are repeated, excluding all penalty error vectors.
