==================================================
Balance model complexity and cross-validated score
==================================================

This example balances model complexity and cross-validated score by
finding a decent accuracy within 1 standard deviation of the best accuracy
score while minimising the number of PCA components [1].

The figure shows the trade-off between cross-validated score and the number
of PCA components. The balanced case is when n_components=10 and accuracy=0.88,
which falls into the range within 1 standard deviation of the best accuracy
score.
