phase 3 - extract measurements

In this phase Extracts only the measurements (features)on the mean and standard deviation for each measurement. The script applies a regular expresison to the rows:

logicalMeanStdFeatures<-allfeatures[regexpr("std",allfeatures$V2)>0 | regexpr("mean",allfeatures$V2)>0 ,c(1,2)]

phase 4 - add activities, subjects and labels

In this phase the script merges the dataset with the activities, the activity labels and the subject. Subjects and Activities are added to the dataset using cbind Finally it sets the labels using the function colnames.
