## Loading and preprocessing the data
### Load required libraries
{r}
library(dplyr)
library(lattice)
### Load data
{r}
# read data into dataframe activity
activity <- read.csv("activity.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
## What is mean total number of steps taken per day?
### Calculate total number of steps taken per day
{r}
# use dplyr package functions to calculate total number of steps per day
steps_per_day <- activity %>% group_by(date) %>% summarize(steps = sum(steps))
### Make histogram of total number of steps taken per day
{r}
# plot histogram
hist(steps_per_day$steps,
main = "Histogram Total Number Steps Per Day",
xlab = "Total Number Steps Per Day",
ylab = "Frequency",
col = "green")
### Calculate mean and median total number of steps taken per day
{r}
# calculate mean total number of steps taken per day
mean_steps_per_day <- mean(steps_per_day$steps)
# calculate median total number of steps taken per day
median_steps_per_day <- median(steps_per_day$steps)
The mean total number of steps taken per day is `r mean_steps_per_day`.
The median total number of steps taken per day is `r median_steps_per_day`.
## What is the average daily activity pattern?
### Make time series plot (i.e. type = "l") of the 5-minute interval (x-axis)
and average number of steps taken, averaged across all days (y-axis)
{r}
# use dplyr package functions to calculate average number
# steps per interval across all days
avg_steps_per_interval <- activity %>% group_by(interval) %>% summarize(steps = mean(steps))
# make time series plot using lattice package function xyplot()
xyplot(avg_steps_per_interval$steps ~ avg_steps_per_interval$interval,
type = "l",
xlab = "5-minute Interval",
ylab = "Average Number Steps Taken Across All Days")
### Which 5-minute interval contains maximum number
of steps averaged across all days?
{r}
max_interval <- avg_steps_per_interval[which.max(avg_steps_per_interval$steps), ]$interval
# convert interval value from integer into character string containing
# two values separated by colon (e.g., "835" becomes "08:35")
interval_str <- sprintf("%04d", max_interval)
start_time <- substring(interval_str, 1L, 2L)
end_time <- substring(interval_str, 3L)
max_interval_str <- paste(start_time,end_time)
paste("The maximum average number of steps occurs during interval", max_interval_str)
## Imputing missing values
Note that there are a number of days/intervals where there are missing values (coded as NA). The presence
of missing days may introduce bias into some calculations or summaries.
### Calculate total number of missing values in dataset (i.e., total number
of rows with NAs)
{r}
num_missing_values <- sum(is.na(activity$steps))
There are `r num_missing_values` missing values in dataset.
### Devise strategy for filling in all missing values in dataset.
Strategy for filling missing values:
- Replace each missing value with average value across all days for corresponding interval.
### Create new dataset that is equal to original dataset but with missing data filled in.
{r}
# make copy of original dataframe activity called activity_imputed
activity_imputed <- activity
# replace each NA value with corresponding average value across all days
# using merge function from base package
for(i in seq_len(nrow(activity_imputed))) {
if(is.na(activity_imputed[i,"steps"])) {
# create temporary dataframe consisting only current row
# being processed from activity_imputed dataframe
temp_df <- data.frame(interval=activity_imputed[i,"interval"], date=activity_imputed[i,"date"])
# merge temporary dataframe with avg_steps_per_interval dataframe
# created earlier in order obtain average step count for current interval
# across all days
temp_df <- merge(temp_df,
avg_steps_per_interval,
by.x="interval",
by.y="interval")
# replace NA value with average value obtained from merge operation above
activity_imputed[i,"steps"] <- temp_df$steps
}
}
rm(temp_df)
### Make histogram of total number of steps taken each day using imputed dataset.
{r}
# use dplyr package functions to calculate total number
# steps per day using imputed dataframe activity_imputed
steps_per_day_imputed <- activity_imputed %>% group_by(date) %>% summarize(steps = sum(steps))
# plot histogram using imputed dataframe activity_imputed
hist(steps_per_day_imputed$steps,
main = "Histogram Total Number Steps Per Day (Imputed Data)",
xlab = "Total Number Steps Per Day",
ylab = "Frequency",
col = "blue")
### Calculate mean and median total number of steps taken per day using imputed dataset.
{r}
# calculate mean total number of steps taken per day using imputed dataframe activity_imputed
mean_steps_per_day_imputed <- mean(steps_per_day_imputed$steps)
# calculate median total number of steps taken per day using imputed dataframe activity_imputed
median_steps_per_day_imputed <- median(steps_per_day_imputed$steps)
The mean total number of steps taken per day calculated using imputed dataset is `r mean_steps_per_day_imputed`.
The median total number of steps taken per day calculated using imputed dataset is `r median_steps_per_day_imputed`.
Compare these values with those calculated above using unimputed dataset:
- Mean calculated using unimputted dataset was `r mean_steps_per_day`.
- Median calculated using unimputted dataset was `r median_steps_per_day`.
Using imputation strategy described above causes both mean and median calculated using imputted dataset
to be equal because we used average value across all days for each interval when replacing NA values.
## Are there differences in activity patterns between weekdays and weekends?
For this part the weekdays() function may be used to determine whether a given date is a weekday or weekend day.
Create a new factor variable in the dataset with two levels – “weekday” and “weekend” indicating whether a given date is a weekday or weekend day.
Make a panel plot containing a time series plot (i.e. type = "l")
of the 5-minute interval (x-axis) and the average number
of steps taken, averaged across all weekday days or weekend days (y-axis).
### Create new factor variable indicating whether date falls on weekday or weekend.
{r}
# use dplyr package functions to create new factor variable indicating whether date falls on weekday or weekend.
activity_imputed_with_weekday_flag <- activity_imputed %>%
mutate(weekday_flag=ifelse(weekdays(as.Date(date)) %in% c("Saturday","Sunday"),"weekend","weekday")) %>%
mutate(weekday_flag=factor(weekday_flag))
### Make panel plot containing time series plot (i.e., type="l")
of 5-minute interval (x-axis) versus average number
of steps taken averaged across all weekday or weekend days (y-axis).
{r}
avg_steps_by_weekday_and_interval <- activity_imputed_with_weekday_flag %>%
group_by(interval,weekday_flag) %>%
summarize(avg_steps=mean(steps))
xyplot(avg_steps ~ interval | weekday_flag,
data=avg_steps_by_weekday_and_interval,
type="l",
layout=c(1,2),
xlab="Interval",
ylab="Average Number Steps Taken")
