Performs a principal component analysis (PCA) based on a data set with automatic determination for afterwards plotting the groups and labels, and automatic filtering on only suitable (i.e. non-empty and numeric) variables.
The \code{\link[=pca]{pca()}} function takes a \link{data.frame} as input and performs the actual PCA with the \R function \code{\link[=prcomp]{prcomp()}}.
The result of the \code{\link[=pca]{pca()}} function is a \link{prcomp} object, with an additional attribute \code{non_numeric_cols} which is a vector with the column names of all columns that do not contain numeric values. These are probably the groups and labels, and will be used by \code{\link[=ggplot_pca]{ggplot_pca()}}.
The \link[=lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{maturing}. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. Since this function needs wider usage and more extensive testing, you are very welcome \href{https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues}{to suggest changes at our repository} or \link[=AMR]{write us an email (see section 'Contact Us')}.
