The rcs statistic of a set partition. Let $S = B_1,\ldots,B_k$ be a set partition with ordered blocks $B_i$ and with $\operatorname{min} B_a < \operatorname{min} B_b$ for $a < b$. According to [1, Definition 3], a '''rcs''' (right-closer-smaller) of $S$ is given by a pair $i > j$ such that $j = \operatorname{max} B_b$ and $i \in B_a$ for $a < b$.

The number of inversions of a set partition. Let $S = B_1,\ldots,B_k$ be a set partition with ordered blocks $B_i$ and with $\operatorname{min} B_a < \operatorname{min} B_b$ for $a < b$. According to [1], see also [2,3], an inversion of $S$ is given by a pair $i > j$ such that $j = \operatorname{min} B_b$ and $i \in B_a$ for $a < b$. This statistic is called '''ros''' in [1, Definition 3] for "right, opener, smaller". This is also the number of occurrences of the pattern {{1, 3}, {2}} such that 1 and 2 are minimal elements of blocks.

The number of occurrences of the pattern {{1,3},{2}} such that 1 is minimal, 2 is maximal.

The lcb statistic of a set partition. Let $S = B_1,\ldots,B_k$ be a set partition with ordered blocks $B_i$ and with $\operatorname{min} B_a < \operatorname{min} B_b$ for $a < b$. According to [1, Definition 3], a '''lcb''' (left-closer-bigger) of $S$ is given by a pair $i < j$ such that $j = \operatorname{max} B_b$ and $i \in B_a$ for $a > b$.

The number of occurrences of the pattern {{1},{2,3}} such that 1,2 are minimal.

The Z-index of a set partition. The Mahonian representation of a set partition $\{B_1,\dots,B_k\}$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ is the restricted growth word $w_1\dots w_n$ obtained by sorting the blocks of the set partition according to their maximal element, and setting $w_i$ to the index of the block containing $i$. The Z-index of $w$ equals $$ \sum_{i < j} w_{i,j}, $$ where $w_{i,j}$ is the word obtained from $w$ by removing all letters different from $i$ and $j$.
