Abstract. An alternative expression has been derived for the variance factors when estimating weights according to the Iterated Almost Unbiased Estimation (IAUE) technique. A variance factor can be approximately estimated by finding the ratio of the group redundancy numbers at any two successive iterations. The numerical example of the first-order leveling network of Taiwan indicates: that stabilization of the redundancy number of an observation occurs as the variance factor associated with it converges to unity; that variance factors tend to approach unity for individual groups with large redundancy; and that for those variance factors which fail to converge to unity, the redundancy numbers decrease monotonically as the iteration proceeds.
