"""
Incremental PCA calculation module.

Based on P.Hall, D. Marshall and R. Martin "Incremental Eigenalysis for 
Classification" which appeared in British Machine Vision Conference, volume 1,
pages 286-295, September 1998.

Principal components are updated sequentially as new observations are 
introduced. Each new observation (x) is projected on the eigenspace spanned by
the current principal components (U) and the residual vector (r = x - U(U.T*x))
is used as a new principal component (U' = [U r]). The new principal components
are then rotated by a rotation matrix (R) whose columns are the eigenvectors
of the transformed covariance matrix (D=U'.T*C*U) to yield p + 1 principal 
components. From those, only the first p are selected.
