Data Science - Getting and Cleaning Data final project

dsgettingandcleaningdata project contains the following files in the project's main github directory

• README.md
• CookBook.md
• run_analysis.R

README.md file gives the general instructions on how to use the CookBook.md and run the analysis using run_analysis.R program

CookBook.md file describes the various steps performed to clean and transform the data, variable names and summary choices made

This is the main R script that performs the cleaning and transformation of the data by summarizing the raw data by calculating mean of all the variables for each activity and each subject

1. switch to a directory on your machine where you would like to perform the analysis and save the tidy dataset
2. Download the raw data - wget https://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/getdata%2Fprojectfiles%2FUCI%20HAR%20Dataset.zip
3. unzip the raw data into 'UCI HAR Dataset' - unzip getdata-projectfiles-UCI HAR Dataset.zip
4. download the github repository of dsgettingcleaningdata using command 'git clone https://github.com/gdtm86/dsgettingandcleaningdata.git'
5. open the R console
6. source('./dsgettingandcleaningdata/run_analysis.R')
7. Once the script runs with no errors, tidy dataset is saved in the current directory in a text file named 'summarized_tidy_data.txt'
