"""
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a dimensionality reduction technique
used in machine learning. It transforms high-dimensional data into a lower-dimensional
representation while retaining as much variance as possible.

This implementation follows best practices, including:
- Standardizing the dataset.
- Computing principal components using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).
- Returning transformed data and explained variance ratio.
