Use 「分析」 to break something into its elements and clarify its nature or structure. For in-depth work on data and mechanisms in science or computing, say 「解析」. To check for abnormalities use 「検査」 or 「点検」; to weigh feasibility, 「検討」. 「総合」 and 「統合」 are the opposites, combining rather than taking apart. The rare written words (アナリシス, 研学, 査閲, 討究, 考究, 検見, 検する) can mostly be replaced by 「分析」, 「研究」 or 「検査」.
