randPedPCA: Fast PCA for Large Pedigrees

Carry out principal component analysis (PCA) of very large pedigrees such as found in breeding populations! This package exploits sparse matrices and randomised linear algebra to deliver a gazillion-times speed-up compared to naive singular value decoposition (SVD) (and eigen decomposition).
