run_analysis.R should do 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.
Please upload the tidy data set created in step 5 of the instructions.
Please upload your data set as a txt file created with write.table() using row.names=FALSE (do not cut and paste a dataset directly into the text box, as this may cause errors saving your submission).
-README.md, this file.
-codebook.md, contains the description of variables produced by run_analysis.R
-run_analysis.R, is the R script that produces the tidyData.txt file
-DatasetHumanActivityRecognitionUsingSmartphones.txt, is the file generated by run_analysis.R, which contains the tidy data set generate from supplied data set

Review the run_analysis.R script in the root of the cloned repository.
The script contains extensive comments which explains what the script is doing
Please note that this script relies on dplyr which is installed by the script if it is not available
This script downloads the necessary raw data files so they are not required to be downloaded by the user
