[Asia Economy Reporter Kwanju Lee] Catholic University St. Vincent's Hospital announced on the 30th that Professor Moon Geon-woong of the Department of Cardiology has published 'Survival Analysis in R for Medical Professionals.'

This book is a guide for medical professionals who lack specialized statistical knowledge but need survival analysis. Survival analysis is a statistical method that treats 'the time until an event occurs as the response variable of interest' and is widely used in medical research dealing with diseases, treatments, and mortality. However, despite its importance, many medical professionals find this analysis method difficult.

Based on years of experience developing R packages, Professor Moon published this book to help medical professionals with limited mathematical and statistical expertise more easily understand the concepts of survival analysis and perform analyses using the R program.

Professor Moon said, “The book includes methods to create tables and graphs of survival analysis results so that medical professionals can apply their analysis results to paper writing and research using their own data,” adding, “I hope this book helps develop practical survival analysis skills.”
