## Principal Components Analysis (PCA) example.
##
## Example of using TPrincipal as a stand alone class.
##
## I create n-dimensional data points, where c = trunc(n / 5) + 1
## are  correlated with the rest n - c randomly distributed variables.
##
## Based on principal.C by Rene Brun and Christian Holm Christensen
