Processing Steps

Initial pre-processing

These should only need to get done once, related to copying files

1. MSB data
   1. collect from subjects
   2. place on gismo server in subject folders
   3. push to ubicomp, process on ubicomp
   4. download from ubicomp
2. MyExperience data
   1. MyExperience (data collected on phone)
      1. collect from subjects
      2. open with MyExperience Analyzer
      3. save query results Get All Responses.csv
   2. SMS (sent from phone to msb@gismo.gis.washington.edu account)
      1. copy from gismo

Secondary pre-processing

These should also only need to be done once (processes for all subjects), related to generating standardized formats for "final" processing

1. MSB data
2. SMS
   1. standardize 6 or 8 field messages
   2. check individual subject data for agreement between phone and GPS time (for 8-field records)
   3. evaluate (all) and fix records (where possible)
   4. creates a single file containing records for all subjects
3. MyExperience
   1. find the closest SMS match for each MyExperience record

      Only those MyExperience records with SMS can have exactly matching times, the rest are unreliable

      creates a single file containing records for all subjects

Main processing

These need to be done on a per-subject basis

1. MyExperience/SMS + MSB
   1. Find the closest match in time
