Getting and Cleaning Data

This is meant for a course project to show the steps of how to prepare a tidy dataset that can be used for later analysis.

Contents

• README.md
• CodeBook.md - describes the variables, the data, and transformations performed to clean-up the data.
• run_analysis.R - R script to merge, clean-up, transform, and summarize the data.
• run_analysis.text - output file generated by run_analysis.R script.

Getting Started

1. Read through the CodeBook.md and the run_analysis.R script to have a general understanding of the project, the variables, data transformations, and output file.
2. Download and place the data in a directory called UCI-HAR-Dataset.
3. Run the run_analysis.R script to generate the tidy dataset.
