  You need to install a JetPack plugin http://jetpack.me on your self hosted install first. Then migrating subscribers follow this guide https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site

  For migrating stats you create a thread here after you install and activate JetPack and Staff move the stats for you.

  Here’s a brief summary of what making the move involves.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
  http://wordpress.org/themes/
  http://wordpress.org/plugins/
  http://jetpack.me

  3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.

  4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/ http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See above.

  6. Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

  NOTE: WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
