As stated in the Preface, the principal objective of this book is as a textbook for courses in biostatistical methods at the graduate level. The webpage for the first edition (link above) includes the syllabus for the one semester graduate course that I taught from the first edition of the book, excluding the chapter on survival analysis that is the topic of a separate course. I have not taught from the Second Edition.
