This dataset contains the data and analysis code from the observational study conducted for the thesis: Using Reinforcement Learning to Personalize Daily Step Goals for a Collaborative Dialogue with a Virtual Coach. In this thesis, we studied the use of reinforcement learning to personalize daily step goal proposals based on people's personal factors, such as mood and self-motivation. To train the reinforcement learning model, we ran an observational study with a virtual coach to gather data on people's personal factors. We then ran analyses on simulations using the collected data to investigate the effectiveness of the model.
