Introducing the stock market prediction problem

The scenario that we will cover in the remaining chapters of the book is of the hypothetical company PsyStock LLC, which provides a platform for amateur traders, providing APIs and UIs to solve different predictions in the context of stock prediction.

As machine learning practitioners and developers, we should be able to build a platform that will allow a team of data scientists to quickly develop, test, and bring into production machine learning projects.

We will apply and frame the problems initially so we can build our platform upon the basis of the definitions of the problems. It should be noted that the problem framing will evolve as we learn more about the problem: the initial framing will give us guidance on the problem spaces that we will be tackling.

The following are the core projects that we will use as references in the rest of the book for machine learning development in MLflow.
