Summary

 

It is now possible to collect a large amount of data about personal movement using activity monitoring devices such as a Fitbit, Nike Fuel band, or Jawbone Up. However, these data remain under-utilized both because the raw data are hard to obtain and there is a lack of statistical methods and software for processing and interpreting the data. This project makes use of data from a personal activity monitoring device. This device collects data at 5 minute intervals through out the day. The data consists of two months of data from an anonymous individual collected during the months of October and November, 2012 and include the number of steps taken in 5 minute intervals each day.
