If you describe in better detail what you are trying to accomplish you might get better responses.
If you are trying to replicate a web page just for display you can start with some of the web developer tools included in browsers. They'll let you change the source code right in the browser.
If you are looking for something that is fully functional that's a whole other ball game but you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Look into AWStats. That examines server log files and will produce statistics for you.

I am trying to replicate the functionalities of GA itself on a completely separate site that would be coded, but also contain mock data. Duplicating an existing page with one of GA's tool is only useful if you already have existing data.
I'm not familiar with Google analytics and specifically what type of data they provide but AWStats can provide a lot of that information specific to your site. Visits, browsers, OS's, popular pages, country origins etc. It's limitations are whatever is logged by the server.
If GA is providing demographic information it will not provide that. There is no way to duplicate that unless you have access to the huge amount of data about the user that Google has. The only information you will have to analyze is the data from your own server, Google can analyze information from searches, other sites the user visitor, blah, blah blah....
Google Analytics has been replicated by companies like Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon. It's hard to say how much, exactly, it would cost. I suspect not much more than $100 million over several years of effort for real data. Since you want simply mock data... I believe you could probably pull that off with approximately 4000 man-hours. At $250/hr, that's about $1 million.

I just want to practice but don't have enough data within my existing. I am not looking to sell a similar platform or rip of GA at all. No way i can compete or do I have the desire too.
not quite sure what google-analytics does but based on some of the responses it seems to give high-level information about the visitors to a website. here is information from my apache logs; not sure what webserver you are using but perhaps you can do something like awk out the web browser/operating system statistics. there are probably databases online where you can resolve an ip-address to a specific country ? for extra credit you can analyze the referring page to make guesses as to their gender and age group ?

Logs do not have enough information to replace Google Analytics.
