Statistics of OEIS

Dear seqfans,
Here is a question concerning the OEIS in general, with its
100k heterogeneous sequences and couple of millions of numbers.
I'd like to see some statistics of the current OEIS. I mean,
first of all, diverse elementary ("popular") statistical and
related observations, such as, e.g.:
- frequencies of odd and even numbers (say, greater 10 or 20);
- the distribution of 2- and 3-digit numbers by occurrence,
taking or not taking repetitions into account (are there
unusually popular entries?);
- correlation between pairs of numbers (including, say,
the identification of the most popular pair of a 2-digit
and 3-digit number among the sequences);
- the least absent number;
- distribution of sequences by access frequency and so on.
I failed to find something like this in the Web or literature.
Is there anything anywhere? If not, I'd like to propose this
as a possible promising research topic. It is, I believe, quite
natural (regardless of the fast growth of the database) and
interesting not only for me.
There are of course more serious, systematic and profound questions;
not being an expert in statistics I refrain from trying to formulate
a sample.
