The Elizalde-Pak rank of a permutation. This is the largest $k$ such that $\pi(i) > k$ for all $i\leq k$. According to [1], the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a $321$-avoiding permutation is equidistributed with the rank of a $132$-avoiding permutation.

The side length of the Durfee square of an integer partition. Given a partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n)$, the Durfee square is the largest partition $(s^s)$ whose diagram fits inside the diagram of $\lambda$. In symbols, $s = \max\{ i \mid \lambda_i \geq i \}$. This is also known as the Frobenius rank.

The number of cycle peaks and the number of cycle valleys of a permutation. A '''cycle peak''' of a permutation $\pi$ is an index $i$ such that $\pi^{-1}(i) < i > \pi(i)$. Analogously, a '''cycle valley''' is an index $i$ such that $\pi^{-1}(i) > i < \pi(i)$. Clearly, every cycle of $\pi$ contains as many peaks as valleys.

Lusztig's a-function for the symmetric group. Let $x$ be a permutation corresponding to the pair of tableaux $(P(x),Q(x))$ by the Robinson-Schensted correspondence and $\operatorname{shape}(Q(x)')=( \lambda_1,...,\lambda_k)$ where $Q(x)'$ is the transposed tableau. Then $a(x)=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{k}{\binom{\lambda_i}{2}}$. See exercise 10 on page 198 in the book by Björner and Brenti "Combinatorics of Coxeter Groups" for equivalent characterisations and properties.

The number of left outer peaks of a permutation. A left outer peak in a permutation $w = [w_1,..., w_n]$ is either a position $i$ such that $w_{i-1} < w_i > w_{i+1}$ or $1$ if $w_1 > w_2$. In other words, it is a peak in the word $[0,w_1,..., w_n]$. This appears in [1, def.3.1]. The joint distribution with [[St000366]] is studied in [3], where left outer peaks are called ''exterior peaks''.

The weighted size of a partition. Let $\lambda = (\lambda_0\geq\lambda_1 \geq \dots\geq\lambda_m)$ be an integer partition. Then the weighted size of $\lambda$ is $$\sum_{i=0}^m i \cdot \lambda_i.$$ This is also the sum of the leg lengths of the cells in $\lambda$, or $$ \sum_i \binom{\lambda^{\prime}_i}{2} $$ where $\lambda^{\prime}$ is the conjugate partition of $\lambda$. This is the minimal number of inversions a permutation with the given shape can have, see [1, cor.2.2]. This is also the smallest possible sum of the entries of a semistandard tableau (allowing 0 as a part) of shape $\lambda=(\lambda_0,\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_m)$, obtained uniquely by placing $i-1$ in all the cells of the $i$th row of $\lambda$, see [2, eq.7.103].

The leg major index of a standard tableau. The leg length of a cell is the number of cells strictly below in the same column. This statistic is the sum of all leg lengths. Therefore, this is actually a statistic on the underlying integer partition. It happens to coincide with the (leg) major index of a tabloid restricted to standard Young tableaux, defined as follows: the descent set of a tabloid is the set of cells, not in the top row, whose entry is strictly larger than the entry directly above it. The leg major index is the sum of the leg lengths of the descents plus the number of descents.

The size of a minimal vertex cover of a graph. A '''vertex cover''' of a graph $G$ is a subset $S$ of the vertices of $G$ such that each edge of $G$ contains at least one vertex of $S$. Finding a minimal vertex cover is an NP-hard optimization problem.

The matching number of a graph. For a graph $G$, this is defined as the maximal size of a '''matching''' or '''independent edge set''' (a set of edges without common vertices) contained in $G$.

The number of double exceedences of a permutation. A double exceedence is an index $\sigma(i)$ such that $i < \sigma(i) < \sigma(\sigma(i))$.
