Compute Statistics after create a index

Good night, I tryed it before and got no help.
So I'll try it again, because I didn't find it yet.

I have to create some indexes in a production database.

I have a doubt.
Do I need to Compute Statistics after creating indexes?
Or when I create they automatically are computed?

Thanks for any help.


The version I'm using is:
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.5.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production

    A CREATE INDEX automatically computes statistics on the Index (if you want to update Table and Column statistics, you still need to call DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS --- e.g. if it is a Function Based Index, you need to update Table statistics because the FBI creates an additonal "virtual" column in the table).

    after CREATE INDEX what are the values for the index statistics?
    Or when I create they automatically are computed?
    Just look at the statistics values after issuing CREATE INDEX & answer the question yourself!
