An analysis is a critical evaluation, usually made by breaking a subject (either material or intellectual) down into its constituent parts, then describing the parts and their relationship to the whole. See also analytic and synthesis.

As such, it can be applied in many different fields of study:

In philosophy:
- analysis (philosophy)

In mathematics:
- mathematical analysis
  - real analysis - real numbers
  - complex analysis - holomorphic functions
  - functional analysis - study of spaces of functions
  - non-standard analysis - hyperreal numbers
  - harmonic analysis - Fourier series
- numerical analysis
- statistical analysis
  - meta-analysisA meta-analysis is a statistical practice of combining the results of a number of studies. The first meta-analysis was performed by Karl Pearson in 1904, in an attempt to overcome the problem of reduced statistical power in studies with small sample sizes
  - analysis of varianceIn statistics, analysis of variance ANOVA is a collection of statistical models and their associated procedures which compare means by splitting the overall observed variance into different parts. The initial techniques of the analysis of variance were pi (ANOVA)
  - time-series analysis

In computingOriginally, the word computing was synonymous with counting and calculating, and a computer was a person who computes. Since the advent of the electronic computer, it has come to also mean the operation and usage of these machines, the electrical processe:
- object-oriented analysis and design
- Structured Analysis such as Yourdon
- lexical analysisLexical analysis is the process of taking an input string of characters (such as the source code of a computer program) and producing a sequence of symbols called " lexical tokens", or just "tokens", which may be handled more easily by a parser. A lexical
- semantic analysisIn computer science, semantic analysis is a pass by a compiler that adds semantical information to the parse tree and performs certain checks based on this information. It logically follows the parsing phase, in which the parse tree is generated, and logi
- syntax analysisSyntax analysis is a process on compilers that recognizes the structure of programming languages. It is also known as parsing. Context-free grammar is usually used for describing the structure of languages and BNF notation is typical to define that gramma
- competitive analysis
- analysis of algorithms
- computer program analysis
- static code analysis

In music:
- musical analysis
  - Schenkerian analysis

In psychotherapy:
- psychoanalysis
  - transactional analysis

In cryptography:
- cryptanalysis - the decoding of ciphers
- frequency analysis

In economics:
- fundamentals analysis
- technical analysis - used in predicting stock market trends

In language studies:
- discourse analysis
- voice analysis

In signal processing:

In other fields:

system analysis - in electrical engineering
systems analysis - study of large systems
lithic analysis - study of stone tools, in archaeology
isotope analysis in archaeology and paleontology
aura analysis - study of bodily auras and energy fields
dimensional analysis - in physics and engineering
neutron activation analysis - in chemistry
life cycle cost analysis
chemical analysis
