Statistic identifier: St001730

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collection: Binary words

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: The number of times the path corresponding to a binary word crosses the base line.

Interpret each $0$ as a step $(1,-1)$ and $1$ as a step $(1,1)$.  Then this statistic counts the number of times the path crosses the $x$-axis.
