The column of the unique '1' in the first row of the alternating sign matrix. The generating function of this statistic is given by $$\binom{n+k-2}{k-1}\frac{(2n-k-1)!}{(n-k)!}\;\prod_{j=0}^{n-2}\frac{(3j+1)!}{(n+j)!},$$ see [2].

The first entry of the permutation. This can be described as 1 plus the number of occurrences of the vincular pattern ([2,1], {(0,0),(0,1),(0,2)}), i.e., the first column is shaded, see [1]. This statistic is related to the number of deficiencies [[St000703]] as follows: consider the arc diagram of a permutation $\pi$ of $n$, together with its rotations, obtained by conjugating with the long cycle $(1,\dots,n)$. Drawing the labels $1$ to $n$ in this order on a circle, and the arcs $(i, \pi(i))$ as straight lines, the rotation of $\pi$ is obtained by replacing each number $i$ by $(i\bmod n) +1$. Then, $\pi(1)-1$ is the number of rotations of $\pi$ where the arc $(1, \pi(1))$ is a deficiency. In particular, if $O(\pi)$ is the orbit of rotations of $\pi$, then the number of deficiencies of $\pi$ equals $$ \frac{1}{|O(\pi)|}\sum_{\sigma\in O(\pi)} (\sigma(1)-1). $$

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 largest part of an integer partition.

The sum of the semi-lengths of tunnels before a valley of a Dyck path. For each valley $v$ in a Dyck path $D$ there is a corresponding tunnel, which is the factor $T_v = s_i\dots s_j$ of $D$ where $s_i$ is the step after the first intersection of $D$ with the line $y = ht(v)$ to the left of $s_j$. This statistic is $$ \sum_v (j_v-i_v)/2. $$
