The summer school will be held in Boadilla del Monte, near Madrid, from June 25th to July 6th. This year's edition comprises 12 week-long courses (15 lecture hours each), given during two weeks (six courses each week). Attendees may register in each course independently. No restrictions, besides those imposed by timetables, apply on the number or choice of courses.<br> <br> Our summer school has been an INOMICS world top ten summer schools in mathematics and statistics from 2015 to 2018. See the last year's ranking at <a href="http://bit.ly/2oR00GI" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2oR00GI</a><br> <br> Early registration is now *OPEN*. Extended information on course programmes, price, venue, accommodation and transport is available at the school's website:<br> <br> <a href="http://www.dia.fi.upm.es/ASDM" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.dia.fi.upm.es/ASDM</a><br> <br> There is a 25% discount for members of Spanish AEPIA and SEIO societies.<br> <br> Please, forward this information to your colleagues, students, and whoever you think may find it interesting.<br> <br> Best regards,<br> <br> Pedro Larrañaga, Concha Bielza, Bojan Mihaljević and Santiago Gil Begué.<br> -- School coordinators.<br> <br> *** List of courses and brief description ***<br> <br> * Week 1 (June 25th - June 29th, 2018) *<br> <br> 1st session: 9:45-12:45<br> Course 1: Bayesian Networks (15 h)<br> Basics of Bayesian networks.
