Topic:

Can we predict the instrument being played from a sound recording? This project will utilize data from isolated sound recordings of different instruments being played, with possible predictors relating to unexplained differences in the frequency wave patterns, the modulation of frequency or amplitude over time, or the prevalence of different overtones in the sound. The goal will be to predict the instrument being played based on a test sound recording.

Code:

Within the "technical_report" folder, the code used for our anaylsis can be found in the R script titled "FinalFeatureExtraction.R" under the R_code folder. Under the same folder, the "models.Rmd" file contains code used to construct our classification models.
