The number of stack-sorts needed to sort a permutation. A permutation is (West) $t$-stack sortable if it is sortable using $t$ stacks in series. Let $W_t(n,k)$ be the number of permutations of size $n$ with $k$ descents which are $t$-stack sortable. Then the polynomials $W_{n,t}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^n W_t(n,k)x^k$ are symmetric and unimodal. We have $W_{n,1}(x) = A_n(x)$, the Eulerian polynomials. One can show that $W_{n,1}(x)$ and $W_{n,2}(x)$ are real-rooted. Precisely the permutations that avoid the pattern $231$ have statistic at most $1$, see [3]. These are counted by $\frac{1}{n+1}\binom{2n}{n}$ ([[OEIS:A000108]]). Precisely the permutations that avoid the pattern $2341$ and the barred pattern $3\bar 5241$ have statistic at most $2$, see [4]. These are counted by $\frac{2(3n)!}{(n+1)!(2n+1)!}$ ([[OEIS:A000139]]).

The maximum drop size of a permutation. The maximum drop size of a permutation $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is defined to be the maximum value of $i-\pi(i)$.

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 non-left-to-right-maxima of a permutation. An integer $\sigma_i$ in the one-line notation of a permutation $\sigma$ is a **non-left-to-right-maximum** if there exists a $j < i$ such that $\sigma_j > \sigma_i$.

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 number of exclusive right-to-left minima of a permutation. This is the number of right-to-left minima that are not left-to-right maxima. This is also the number of non weak exceedences of a permutation that are also not mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length 3. Given a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$, this statistic counts the number of position $j$ such that $\pi_j < j$ and there do not exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi_i > \pi_j > \pi_k$. See also [[St000213]] and [[St000119]].

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 exclusive left-to-right maxima of a permutation. This is the number of left-to-right maxima that are not right-to-left minima.

The length of the longest pattern of the form k 1 2...(k-1).

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].
