Apply PCA to Dataset #33

PCA doesn't seem to be working too well...it may be worthwhile to use the prince package to attempt Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), which is used for multiple categorical features, instead. Or we could try Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA), which works on a combination of both continuous/categorical features.

MCA also didn't prove too useful. The accuracy of our various classification models decreased marginally when the data was prepped using MCA.
