Remarks:

Performs unweighted Principal Component Regression (PCR). PCR is a technique for analyzing multiple regression data that suffer from multicollinearity. When multicollinearity occurs, least squares estimates are unbiased, but their variances are large so they may be far from the true value. By adding a degree of bias to the regression estimates, principal components regression reduces the standard errors. The algorithm first standardizes A matrix and performs PC regression on standardized matrix.
