Preface

This text and examples aim to generate a basic guide for the Machine Learning (ML) methodology. I am writing the book inspired by the Accounting and Finance program students enrolled in the AI course of Tecnologico de Monterrey in the spring of 2023. Because of their dedication and excellent attitude, I will always remember many of them (“con mucho cariño”).

The following steps may differ from other books, data scientists, or experts because there are many ways to deal whit machine learning. But that is precisely the richness of this area of expertise. If there existed only one way to apply machine learning, everybody could use it!!

The Python codes and other files are stored in the GitHub repository for this site.
