The number of vertices of the largest induced subforest of a graph.

The tree-depth of a graph. The tree-depth $\operatorname{td}(G)$ of a graph $G$ whose connected components are $G_1,\ldots,G_p$ is recursively defined as $$\operatorname{td}(G)=\begin{cases} 1, & \text{if }|G|=1\\ 1 + \min_{v\in V} \operatorname{td}(G-v), & \text{if } p=1 \text{ and } |G| > 1\\ \max_{i=1}^p \operatorname{td}(G_i), & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez [2] proved that the tree-depth of a connected graph is equal to its minimum elimination tree height and its centered chromatic number (fewest colors needed for a vertex coloring where every connected induced subgraph has a color that appears exactly once). Tree-depth is strictly greater than [[St000536|pathwidth]]. A [[St001120|longest path]] in $G$ has at least $\operatorname{td}(G)$ vertices [3].

The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.

The largest eigenvalue of a graph if it is integral. If a graph is $d$-regular, then its largest eigenvalue equals $d$. One can show that the largest eigenvalue always lies between the average degree and the maximal degree. This statistic is undefined if the largest eigenvalue of the graph is not integral.

The number of indecomposable modules with projective dimension 2 for Nakayama algebras with global dimension at most 2.

The maximum magnitude of the Möbius function of a poset. The '''Möbius function''' of a poset is the multiplicative inverse of the zeta function in the incidence algebra. The Möbius value $\mu(x, y)$ is equal to the signed sum of chains from $x$ to $y$, where odd-length chains are counted with a minus sign, so this statistic is bounded above by the total number of chains in the poset.

The number of simple modules with projective dimension at most 1.

The number of factors of a lattice as a Cartesian product of lattices. Since the cardinality of a lattice is the product of the cardinalities of its factors, this statistic is one whenever the cardinality of the lattice is prime.

The girth of a graph, which is not a tree. This is the length of the shortest cycle in the graph.

The pebbling number of a connected graph.
