Marcel is totally right! If you want to do one off analyses for specific pages or namespaces though(like browser breakdown for namespace User: on enwiki - main namespace may not be possible), that may be possible if you run some queries in our Hive store. Do you have access to stat1002(analytics-privatedata-users group)? If not you can request access as per https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Cluster/Access and we can help you run some one off calculations.
