The concept of sign-central matrices was introduced by \textit{T. Ando} and \textit{R. A. Brualdi} [Linear Algebra Appl. 208-209, 283-295 (1994; Zbl 0818.15017)]. A \((0,1,-1)\)-matrix is sign-central if all matrices with the same sign pattern is central (i.e. the origin belongs to the convex hull of its columns). In the present paper the notion of nearly sign-central matrix is defined. A matrix \(A\) is said to be nearly sign-central if there is a nonzero sign pattern vector \(\alpha\) such that the matrix \([A\alpha]\) is sign-central. Some properties of these matrices are discussed and the main result (Theorem 2.7) gives a characterization of nearly sign-central matrices.
