GCDCourseProject

The course project for the Getting and Cleaning Data Coursera Course

##This repository contains two files as follows:

  • run_analysis.R --> an R code that performs analysis on a set of data found here, to run the code you just need to make sure that the following files are in your working directory:
    • features.txt
    • activity_labels.txt
    • subject_test.txt
    • y_test.txt
    • X_test.txt
    • subject_train.txt
    • y_train.txt
    • X_train.txt
  • code_book.md --> a code book describing all the variables in the resulting data file produced by the run_analysis code

The aim of the analysis carried out in run_analysis.R is to merge the available data in X_test.txt and X_train.txt a single table, providing it with descriptive column names and linking it with the subject and activity names data present in activity_labels.txt, subject_test.txt and subject_trial.txt. The table is then modified to include only the variables that represent mean or standard deviation values Following that the data is summarized so that the resulting data is a table containing the average value for each variable grouped by every subject and activity
