StandardizedBiAlternatingInversionNumber on Permutation ​

Half of floor(n/2)^2 plus the signed inversions, each pair i < j weighted by (-1)^(i+j).

On Permutation

Half of the sum of (-1)^(i+j) sgn(p(j) - p(i)) over i < j, shifted by floor(n/2)^2.

Called as CombinatorialStat(x, "StandardizedBiAlternatingInversionNumber"). The head's page has its examples.
