ML e statistic

Often when talking about Machine learning or statistics, there is a perception that people can solve all the world's problems with magic boxes called algorithms that no one really knows how they work.

This collection of articles does not aim to explain all the knowledge of statistics and Machine learning, nor to explain the main topics that make up this vast world, but simply encompasses some topics that I consider important and interesting. Some of these will be more discursive, some more computational, and others more mathematical-statistical, but each article will try to maintain an applied approach to make the explanation clearer.
