The number of descents 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 word $w$ has a descent at position $i$ if $w_i > w_{i+1}$.

The number of boxed occurrences of 132 in a permutation. This is the number of occurrences of the pattern $132$ such that any entry between the three matched entries is either larger than the largest matched entry or smaller than the smallest matched entry.

The holeyness of a permutation. For $S\subset [n]:=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ let $\delta(S)$ be the number of elements $m\in S$ such that $m+1\notin S$. For a permutation $\pi$ of $[n]$ the holeyness of $\pi$ is $$\max_{S\subset [n]} (\delta(\pi(S))-\delta(S)).$$

The maximum of the number of descents and the number of inverse descents. This is, the maximum of [[St000021]] and [[St000354]].

The number of excedances 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 $i$. Let $\bar w$ be the nondecreasing rearrangement of $w$. The word $w$ has an excedance at position $i$ if $w_i > \bar w_i$.

The number of maximal chains in a poset.

The Grundy number of a graph. The Grundy number $\Gamma(G)$ is defined to be the largest $k$ such that $G$ admits a greedy $k$-coloring. Any order of the vertices of $G$ induces a greedy coloring by assigning to the $i$-th vertex in this order the smallest positive integer such that the partial coloring remains a proper coloring. In particular, we have that $\chi(G) \leq \Gamma(G) \leq \Delta(G) + 1$, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$ ([[St000098]]), and where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximal degree of a vertex of $G$ ([[St000171]]).

The number of leaf nodes in a binary tree. Equivalently, the number of cherries [1] in the complete binary tree. The number of binary trees of size $n$, at least $1$, with exactly one leaf node for is $2^{n-1}$, see [2]. The number of binary tree of size $n$, at least $3$, with exactly two leaf nodes is $n(n+1)2^{n-2}$, see [3].

The number of runs in a permutation. A run in a permutation is an inclusion-wise maximal increasing substring, i.e., a contiguous subsequence. This is the same as the number of descents plus 1.

The number of maximally independent sets of vertices of a graph. An '''independent set''' of vertices of a graph is a set of vertices no two of which are adjacent. If a set of vertices is independent then so is every subset. This statistic counts the number of maximally independent sets of vertices.
