+        by `da.random`. Used when ``svd_solver`` == 'randomized'.
+
+
+    Attributes
+    ----------
+    components_ : array, shape (n_components, n_features)
+        Principal axes in feature space, representing the directions of
+        maximum variance in the data. The components are sorted by
+        ``explained_variance_``.
+    explained_variance_ : array, shape (n_components,)
+        The amount of variance explained by each of the selected components.
+        Equal to n_components largest eigenvalues
+        of the covariance matrix of X.
+    explained_variance_ratio_ : array, shape (n_components,)
+        Percentage of variance explained by each of the selected components.
+        If ``n_components`` is not set then all components are stored and the
+        sum of the ratios is equal to 1.0.
+    singular_values_ : array, shape (n_components,)
+        The singular values corresponding to each of the selected components.
+        The singular values are equal to the 2-norms of the ``n_components``
+        variables in the lower-dimensional space.
+    mean_ : array, shape (n_features,)
+        Per-feature empirical mean, estimated from the training set.
+        Equal to `X.mean(axis=0)`.
+    n_components_ : int
+        The estimated number of components. When n_components is set
+        to 'mle' or a number between 0 and 1 (with svd_solver == 'full') this
+        number is estimated from input data. Otherwise it equals the parameter
+        n_components, or the lesser value of n_features and n_samples
+        if n_components is None.
+    noise_variance_ : float
+        The estimated noise covariance following the Probabilistic PCA model
+        from Tipping and Bishop 1999. See "Pattern Recognition and
+        Machine Learning" by C. Bishop, 12.2.1 p. 574 or
+        http://www.miketipping.com/papers/met-mppca.pdf. It is required to
+        computed the estimated data covariance and score samples.
+        Equal to the average of (min(n_features, n_samples) - n_components)
+        smallest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of X.
+
+    Differences from scikit-allel
+    ----------
+    * The scalers have been separated out from the PCAs to conform with
+    scikit-learn pipelines - https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline.html
+
+    * RandomizedGenotypePCA is replaced with GenotypetypePCA(svd_solver="randomized")
+    Instead of
+    >>> from allel.stats.decomposition import randomized_pca
+    >>> import numpy as np
+    >>> # generate some random diploid genotype data
+    >>> n_variants = 100
+    >>> n_samples = 5
+    >>> genotypes = np.random.choice(3, n_variants * n_samples)
+    >>> genotypes = genotypes.reshape(n_variants, n_samples)
+    >>> coords, model = randomized_pca(gn=genotypes)
+
+    Use
+
+    >>> from sgkit.stats.decomposition import GenotypePCA
+    >>> x_R = GenotypePCA(svd_solver="randomized")
+
+    * Uses Dask under the hood instead of numpy
+    * svd_solver : 'randomized' uses ``dask.linalg.svd_compressed``
+      'full' uses ``dask.linalg.svd``, 'arpack' is not valid.
+    * iterated_power : defaults to ``0``, the default for
+      ``dask.linalg.svd_compressed``.ad of numpy
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> from sgkit.stats.preprocessing import PattersonScaler
+    >>> from sgkit.stats.decomposition import GenotypePCA
+    >>> import dask.array as da
+
+    >>> # generate some random diploid genotype data
+    >>> n_variants = 100
+    >>> n_samples = 5
+    >>> genotypes = da.random.choice(3, n_variants * n_samples)
+    >>> genotypes = genotypes.reshape(n_variants, n_samples)
+
+    >>> scaler = PattersonScaler()
+    >>> scaled_genotypes = scaler.fit(genotypes).transform(genotypes)
+    >>> # If you want to deal with the scaled values directly
+    >>> # scaled_genotypes.compute()
+    >>> # Or you can put the scaled_genotypes directly into the PCA
+    >>> pca = GenotypePCA(n_components=10, svd_solver="full")
+    >>> X_r = pca.fit_transform(scaled_genotypes)
+
+    >>> # Use scikit-learn pipelines
+    >>> # https://github.com/pystatgen/sgkit/issues/95#issuecomment-672879865
+    >>> from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
+    >>> est = Pipeline([ \
+        ('scaler', PattersonScaler()), \
+        ('pca', GenotypePCA(n_components=10, svd_solver="full")) \
+        ])
+    >>> pcs = est.fit_transform(genotypes)
+    >>> # `est` would also contain loadings + explained variance
+    >>> # `scaler` would contain the MAF and binomial variance values needed for out-of-sample projection
+    >>>   # Out-of-sample projection
+    >>> pcs_oos = est.transform(genotypes)

+    Notes
+    --------
+    Genotype data should be filtered prior to using this function to remove variants in linkage disequilibrium.
