Summary
Summary: We study three partition statistics and the $q$-Stirling and $q$-Bell numbers that serve as their generating functions, evaluating these numbers when $q=-1$. Among the numbers that arise in this way are (1) Fibonacci numbers and (2) numbers occurring in the study of fermionic oscillators.
