Hi Shishir,

please note that the ProbabilisiticPCA got recently refactored which lead to 
API changes and improved documentation + examples.

https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/2404

Did you take these changes into account? If not it would be great to know which 
exmample / reduplicate documentation you witnessed.

You can think of it as an additional PCA option to obtain a probabilistic score 
when predicting the model fit on unseen data and to estimate the data 
covariance.
The PCA components themselves will be the same in both variants. In other words 
you can just apply it as you would regular PCA + additional arguments + 
extended application.

HTH,
Denis
