run_analysis.r is a function that takes the directories for the training and testmeasurementdata as an input and outputs a text file of the mean of a normalized (-1 to 1) accelerometer or gyroscope measurement for a given subject doing a particular activity.

outputvariables:
 subject  --Each of the 20 study subjects was assigned an identification number.
 activity -- One of six activities(Walking, WalkingUpstairs, WalkingDownstairs,                Sitting, Standing, or Laying) performed during observation
 measurement -- one of 9 different readings from accelerometers and gyroscopes (bodyaccelerationxdirection, bodyaccelerationydirection" 
  bodyaccelerationzdirection, gyroxdirection, gyroydirection , gyrozdirection, totalaccelerationxdirection, totalaccelerationydirection, totalaccelerationzdirection")
  mean-- the mean of a measurement reading averaged over an activity performed by a study subject
