The number of descents of a permutation. This can be described as an occurrence of the vincular mesh pattern ([2,1], {(1,0),(1,1),(1,2)}), i.e., the middle column is shaded, see [3].

The number of exceedances (also excedences) of a permutation. This is defined as $exc(\sigma) = \#\{ i : \sigma(i) > i \}$. It is known that the number of exceedances is equidistributed with the number of descents, and that the bistatistic $(exc,den)$ is [[Permutations/Descents-Major#Euler-Mahonian_statistics|Euler-Mahonian]]. Here, $den$ is the Denert index of a permutation, see [[St000156]].

The number of ascents of a permutation.

The dez statistic, the number of descents of a permutation after replacing fixed points by zeros. This descent set is denoted by $\operatorname{ZDer}(\sigma)$ in [1].

The lec statistic, the sum of the inversion numbers of the hook factors of a permutation. For a permutation $\sigma = p \tau_{1} \tau_{2} \cdots \tau_{k}$ in its hook factorization, [1] defines $$ \textrm{lec} \, \sigma = \sum_{1 \leq i \leq k} \textrm{inv} \, \tau_{i} \, ,$$ where $\textrm{inv} \, \tau_{i}$ is the number of inversions of $\tau_{i}$.

The staircase size of the code of a permutation. The code $c(\pi)$ of a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$ is given by the sequence $(c_1,\ldots,c_{n})$ with $c_i = |\{j > i : \pi(j) < \pi(i)\}|$. This is a bijection between permutations and all sequences $(c_1,\ldots,c_n)$ with $0 \leq c_i \leq n-i$. The staircase size of the code is the maximal $k$ such that there exists a subsequence $(c_{i_k},\ldots,c_{i_1})$ of $c(\pi)$ with $c_{i_j} \geq j$. This statistic is mapped through [[Mp00062]] to the number of descents, showing that together with the number of inversions [[St000018]] it is Euler-Mahonian.

The number of deficiencies of a permutation. This is defined as $$\operatorname{dec}(\sigma)=\#\{i:\sigma(i) < i\}.$$ The number of exceedances is [[St000155]].

The number of big ascents of a permutation after prepending zero. Given a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ we set $\pi(0) = 0$ and then count the number of indices $i \in \{0,\ldots,n-1\}$ such that $\pi(i+1) - \pi(i) > 1$. It was shown in [1, Theorem 1.3] and in [2, Corollary 5.7] that this statistic is equidistributed with the number of descents ([[St000021]]). G. Han provided a bijection on permutations sending this statistic to the number of descents [3] using a simple variant of the first fundamental transformation [[Mp00086]]. [[St000646]] is the statistic without the border condition $\pi(0) = 0$.

The number of repeated entries in the Lehmer code of a permutation. The Lehmer code of a permutation $\pi$ is the sequence $(v_1,\dots,v_n)$, with $v_i=|\{j > i: \pi(j) < \pi(i)\}$. This statistic counts the number of distinct elements in this sequence.

The number of weak exceedances (also weak excedences) of a permutation. This is defined as $$\operatorname{wex}(\sigma)=\#\{i:\sigma(i) \geq i\}.$$ The number of weak exceedances is given by the number of exceedances (see [[St000155]]) plus the number of fixed points (see [[St000022]]) of $\sigma$.
