You can't really go too much by the information obtained by environmental variables when it comes to browser type (the most likely way your website stats are being updated). Browsers will happily lie about what they are. In some cases, the "lies" can be a little bit accurate.
For instance, I use the Advant browser that has most all of the functionality of IE, but not all. It reports itself as IE.
You might tell us what you're hoping gain from the analysis of your website stats. If it's making changes based commonly used browser types, I'm sure you'll get lots of input
