Principal Component Analysis for gen_tibble objects

There are a number of PCA methods available for gen_tibble objects. They are mostly designed to work on very large datasets, so they only compute a limited number of components. For smaller datasets, gt_partialSVD allows the use of partial (truncated) SVD to fit the PCA; this method is suitable when the number of individuals is much smaller than the number of loci. For larger dataset, gt_randomSVD is more appropriate. Finally, there is a method specifically designed for dealing with LD in large datasets, gt_autoSVD. Whilst this is arguably the best option, it is somewhat data hungry, and so only suitable for very large datasets (hundreds of individuals with several hundred thousands markers, or larger).

NOTE: using gt_pca_autoSVD with a small dataset will likely cause an error, see man page for details.
