Description: Sparre Andersen's number of positives of a signed permutation.

For $\pi$ a signed permutation of length $n$, first create the tuple $x = (x_1, \dots, x_n)$, where $x_i = c_{|\pi_1|} \operatorname{sgn}(\pi_{|\pi_1|}) + \cdots + c_{|\pi_i|} \operatorname{sgn}(\pi_{|\pi_i|})$ and $(c_1, \dots ,c_n) = (1, 2, \dots, 2^{n-1})$. The actual value of the c-tuple for Andersen's statistic does not matter so long as no sums or differences of any subset of the $c_i$'s is zero. The choice of powers of $2$ is just a convenient choice.

This returns the number of strictly positive values in the $x$-tuple. This is related to the ''discrete arcsin distribution''. The number of signed permutations with value equal to $k$ is given by $\binom{2k}{k} \binom{2n-2k}{n-k} \frac{n!}{2^n}$. This statistic is equidistributed with Sparre Andersen's `Position of Maximum' statistic.
