The experiments have been carried out with a group of 30 volunteers within an age bracket of 19-48 years. Each person performed six activities (WALKING, WALKING_UPSTAIRS, WALKING_DOWNSTAIRS, SITTING, STANDING, LAYING) wearing a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S II) on the waist. Using its embedded accelerometer and gyroscope, we captured 3-axial linear acceleration and 3-axial angular velocity at a constant rate of 50Hz. The experiments have been video-recorded to label the data manually. The obtained dataset has been randomly partitioned into two sets, where 70% of the volunteers was selected for generating the training data and 30% the test data.

The sensor signals (accelerometer and gyroscope) were pre-processed by applying noise filters and then sampled in fixed-width sliding windows of 2.56 sec and 50% overlap (128 readings/window). The sensor acceleration signal, which has gravitational and body motion components, was separated using a Butterworth low-pass filter into body acceleration and gravity. The gravitational force is assumed to have only low frequency components, therefore a filter with 0.3 Hz cutoff frequency was used. From each window, a vector of features was obtained by calculating variables from the time and frequency domain. See 'features_info.txt' for more details.

For each record it is provided:

• Triaxial acceleration from the accelerometer (total acceleration) and the estimated body acceleration.
• Triaxial Angular velocity from the gyroscope.
• A 561-feature vector with time and frequency domain variables.
• Its activity label.
• An identifier of the subject who carried out the experiment called PersonID

The dataset includes the following files:

• 'README.md'

• 'codebook.md': Shows information about the variables used on the feature vector

• 'run_analysis.R': An R file which contains the scripts to run the analysis

Notes:

• Features are normalized and bounded within [-1,1].
• Each feature vector is a row on the text file.

Description

• There is one R script called run_analysis.R that does the following.
• Merges the training and the test sets to create one data set.
• Extracts only the measurements on the mean and standard deviation for each measurement.
• Uses descriptive activity names to name the activities in the data set
• Appropriately labels the data set with descriptive variable names.
• From the data set in step 4, creates a second, independent tidy data set with the average of each variable for each activity and each subject (PersonID). There totally 30 subjects who performed 6 activities. So we get the mean of the varibles of each group. Totally we get 30x6=180 rows.
