		Advanced Methods for Principal Component Analysis and Principal
		Component Regression // Provides a unified framework for
		principal component analysis (PCA) and principal component
		regression (PCR), including standard PCA, sparse PCA, robust
		PCA, and supervised PCA. The package supports automatic
		selection of the number of components using cumulative variance
		and elbow methods and integrates PCA with regression modelling
		through PCR models. It includes tools for PCA suitability
		assessment using Bartlett's test of sphericity and the Kaiser-
		Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure. Visualisation utilities such as
		scree plots and biplots are provided for interpretation. The
		methods are designed to handle multicollinearity, outliers, and
		high-dimensional data, making them suitable for applied
		statistical modelling and data analysis. The methodology is
		based on established approaches described in Jolliffe (2002)
