Hi there;  
I have written a number of rudimentary descriptive analytics functions in R, to use with the “Export as CSV” function from the Podlove analytics overview.

Here’s the Github repo:

~~BTW, is there a way to get a more detailed (i.e. daily, not aggregated) raw data dump in flat files to allow more finetuned analysis?~~ (found it 🙂 )

After I found out how to access the MySQL data in the WP database directly, I’ve completely re-written the code. You can now pull live data and do all kinds of neat stuff with it.
