## Description

> Description of the issue (or feature request).

This RFC proposes adding support for "adaptive PCA", as articulated [here](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.02373.pdf). Adding support for such an algorithm would allow, e.g., incremental computation or use within a streaming context.

Package: `@stdlib/ml/incr/pca`
Alias: `incrpca`
