1. Descriptive Statistics
   • Summarize data characteristics (means, medians, frequencies, standard deviations)
   • Provide clear snapshots of program performance indicators
2. Inferential Statistics
   • Hypothesis testing (t-tests, chi-square tests, ANOVA) to assess significance of observed effects
   • Regression analysis (linear, logistic, multivariate) to model relationships and predict outcomes
3. Trend and Time Series Analysis
   • Examine data over time to identify patterns, seasonality, and forecast future results
4. Advanced Techniques
   • Cluster analysis, factor analysis, or machine learning models where appropriate to uncover deeper insights
