It could be a bug with my version... I don't think it actually
keeps a lock but it wants to be able to get the lock. For the most
part we don't get our analyzes in due to this. Fortunately for me,
we no longer want to and have deleted the stats.

Oracle actually claims this statement. There are numerous docs stating this,
for example DOC ID: 213220.999. But I agree 100% with Jeremiah's claims, in
fact it can be verified very easily looking at v$lock while analyzing a
large table. (I have actually done this in the past and present) and there
are no locks under my current sid or any additional locks under any sid
during analyze.
Take any table that takes more than 3-4 seconds to analyze and in another
window query V$LOCKS and you can see this first hand.

I have used compute statistics since version 7.3.2 up through 8.1.6, and
never
had it hold a table lock for the duration of the analyze. I don't know
where
people are getting the idea that compute statistics holds a lock and
estimate
doesn't. That just doesn't make sense. Why would compute need a lock? Are
you saying I can estimate sample 99 percent, and get what amounts to a
compute
and avoid the supposed lock? Does that make any sense? No.
Validate structure cascade holds a lock. The most the others do is grab
some
resource [very] briefly at the end to update the dictionary. People
claiming
that compute holds a lock, please post documentation to support that
statement.
