DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DATABASE_STATS
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS

Note that the last package procedure gather_dictionary_stats is newly introduced in Oracle Database 10g and is specially designed for collecting statistics for dictionary objects. You need the new system privilege, ANALYZE ANY DICTIONARY, for this purpose. This privilege is required to be able to analyze the dictionary objects and fixed objects, unless you are the SYS user, or a user with SYSDBA privilege.
