In the current research and development era, Human Activity Recognition (HAR)
plays a vital role in analyzing the movements and activities of a human
being. The main objective of HAR is to infer the current behaviour by
extracting previous information. Now-a-days, the continuous improvement of
living condition of human beings changes human society dramatically. To
detect the activities of human beings, various devices, such as smartphones
and smart watches, use different types of sensors, such as multi modal
sensors, non-video based and video-based sensors, and so on. Among the
entire machine learning approaches, tasks in different applications adopt
extensively classification techniques, in terms of smart homes by active and
assisted living, healthcare, security and surveillance, making decisions,
tele-immersion, forecasting weather, official tasks, and prediction of risk
analysis in society. In this paper, we perform three classification
algorithms, Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Random Forest (RF), and
Simple Logistic (SL) with the two HAR datasets, UCI HAR and WISDM,
downloaded from the UCI repository. The experiment described in this paper
uses the WEKA tool to evaluate performance with the matrices, Kappa
statistics, relative absolute error, mean absolute error, ROC Area, and PRC
Area by 10-fold cross validation technique. We also provide a comparative
analysis of the classification algorithms with the two determined datasets
by calculating the accuracy with precision, recall, and F-measure metrics.
In the experimental results, all the three algorithms with the UCI HAR
datasets achieve nearly the same accuracy of 98%.The RF algorithm with the
WISDM dataset has the accuracy of 90.69%,better than the others.
