[R] What are the common Standard Statistical methods used for the analysis of a dataset

[Greg Snow]

The only statistical method that I know of that can be applied to any dataset without further definition of the nature of the data or the question being asked is SnowsCorrectlySizedButOtherwiseUselessTestOfAnything which is found in the TeachingDemos package for R.  However this test is not common (for a couple of very good reasons).

If you want a more useful method you first need to decide on what your question is that you want answered and have some more detail about the dataset.
