This repo was created to finish the assignment for week 4.

• First, download and unzip the data file into the working directory in R studio.
• Finally, execute R source code to generate tidy data file.

Data description

Data description

The variables in the data X are sensor signals measured with waist-mounted smartphone from 30 subjects. The variable in the data Y indicates activity type the subjects performed during recording.

Code explaination

Code explaination

The code combined training dataset and test dataset, and extracted partial variables to create another dataset with the averages of each variable for each activity.

New dataset

New dataset

The new generated dataset contained variables calculated based on the mean and standard deviation. Each row of the dataset is an average of each activity type for all subjects.

The code was written based on the instruction of this assignment

Read all the data and data names into R environment first.
