##Coursera Course Project Cover Page
In the course project of the coursera "Getting and Cleaning Data" course offered by Johns Hopkins University, a dataset about wearable computing is required to be cleaned and transformed into a tidy dataset.
There are four items that are required to be submitted for this project:
-
README.md: this document. It explains how all of the scripts work and how they are connected.
-
CodeBook.md: the code book that describes the variables, the data, and any transformations or work that I performed to clean up the data. It is included in this repo.
-
run_analysis.R: my code for performing the analysis. It is included in this repo.
-
A tidy data set: the tidy data set outputted by my code. It is submitted within my coursera account.
Here are what I performed in this analysis to clean up the data:
-
Merges the subject identifier file, the activity file, and the feature file in the training and the test sets to create one data set.
-
Extracts only the mean and standard deviation variables for each measurement.
-
Uses descriptive activity names to name the activities in the data set.
-
Appropriately labels the data set with descriptive variable names.
-
Creates a second, independent tidy data set with the average of each extracted variable for each activity and each subject.
