    ABSTRACT:: A modified Aitken formula permits iterated extrapolations to
               efficiently estimate $s_\infty$ from $s_n$ when an asymptotic
               expansion $s_n = s_\infty + n^{-k} (c_0 + c_1 n^{-1} + c_2
               n^{-2} + ... )$ holds for some (unknown) coefficients $c_j$.
               We study the truncation and irregular error and compare the
               method with other forms of extrapolation.
