Hi,

Anybody know what are the common Standard statistical methods used for the
analysis of a dataset,and
anybody know which of these methods give similar results

Sorry, but this question is the statistical equivalent of
"how long is a piece of string"?  Furthermore, even if it were
better phrased it would not be a question about R, but about
statistics (sometimes tolerated here, but not appropriate).
Finally, it sounds like a homework question (also inappropriate).

  Please read the posting guide ...
