Data and analysis code for the Masters thesis titled "Dyadic Physical Activity Planning with a Virtual Coach: Using Reinforcement Learning to Select Persuasive Strategies"

This is the data and analysis code for the Masters thesis titled "Dyadic Physical Activity Planning with a Virtual Coach: Using Reinforcement Learning to Select Persuasive Strategies." In this thesis, we used data gathered through an observational study with a virtual coach to build a reinforcement learning model for persuading people to commit to plans for walking. Once the model was created, it was analysed using the code provided in this dataset, including simulations of how the model would perform in a real-life setting.
