Merge pull request #7 from Doctorado-ML/hiperparameters

Add hyperparameters to discretized Hyperparameters added: - min_length: int, default=3: The minimum length of an interval to be considered to be discretized. - max_depth: int, default=1e6: The maximum depth of the discretization process. - max_cuts: float, default=0: The maximum number of cut points to be computed for each feature. Compute all cutpoints and select the ones that produce less entropy
