General

This document describes the variables in the tidy_set.txt file.

All variables are mean of other mean or standard deviation features in the raw data.

All variables are normalized and bounded within [-1,1].

Raw data

The raw data is available here.

Variable details

Key columns

The key columns are categorical.

Each key column pair is unique and identify a row in the tidy set. The columns are:

  • 1: subject
    • Identifier of the subject (person) who performed the activity.
    • Value range [1:30]
  • 2: activity
    • Performed activity.
    • Value set: laying, sitting, standing, walking, walking_downstairs, walking_upstairs

Variable columns

The variable columns are continuous in the interval [-1,1]. They are normalized and have no unit.

Each variable represents the mean of a feature in the raw data set, by subject and activity.

The following are the variables and the feature they are based on, in order:

  • 3: mean_time_body_accelerometer_x: Based on tBodyAcc-mean()-X.

Features that are not included

Only direct mean and standard deviation variables are included from the raw data. Examples of features that are not used in the raw data set:

  • fBodyAcc-meanFreq()-X
  • fBodyAcc-meanFreq()-Y
  • fBodyAcc-meanFreq()-Z
  • fBodyAccJerk-meanFreq()-X
  • fBodyAccJerk-meanFreq()-Y
  • fBodyAccJerk-meanFreq()-Z
  • fBodyGyro-meanFreq()-X
  • fBodyGyro-meanFreq()-Y
  • fBodyGyro-meanFreq()-Z
  • fBodyAccMag-meanFreq()
  • fBodyBodyAccJerkMag-meanFreq()
  • fBodyBodyGyroMag-meanFreq()
  • fBodyBodyGyroJerkMag-meanFreq()
  • angle(tBodyAccMean,gravity)
  • angle(tBodyAccJerkMean),gravityMean)
  • angle(tBodyGyroMean,gravityMean)
  • angle(tBodyGyroJerkMean,gravityMean)
  • angle(X,gravityMean)
  • angle(Y,gravityMean)
  • angle(Z,gravityMean)

The motivation for not including them is that they appear to be based on mean variables but are not primary mean variables themselves.
