T(n, m) = ^7P_n^m in the notation of the given reference with T(0, 0) = 1.
The monic row polynomials s(n, x) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n, m)*x^m which are s(n, x) = Product_{k=0..n-1} x-(7+k), n >= 1 and s(0, x) = 1 satisfy s(n, x+y) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*s(k, x)*S1(n-k, y), with the Stirling1 polynomials S1(n, x) = Sum_{m=1..n} A008275(n, m)*x^m and S1(0, x) = 1. In the umbral calculus (see the S. Roman reference given in A048854) the s(n, x) polynomials are called Sheffer for (exp(7*t), exp(t)-1).

FORMULA
T(n, m) = T(n-1, m-1) - (n+6)*T(n-1, m), n >= m >= 0; T(n, m) = 0, n < m; T(n, -1) = 0, T(0, 0) = 1.
E.g.f. for m-th column of signed triangle: ((log(1+x))^m)/(m!*(1+x)^7).
Triangle (signed) = [ -7, -1, -8, -2, -9, -3, -10, -4, -11, -5, ...] DELTA A000035; triangle (unsigned) = [7, 1, 8, 2, 9, 3, 10, 4, ...] DELTA A000035; where DELTA is Deléham's operator defined in A084938.
If we define f(n, i, a) = Sum_{k=0..n-i} binomial(n,k)*stirling1(n-k,i)*Product_{j=0..k-1}(-a-j), then T(n, i) = f(n, i, 7), for n=1,2,...; i=0..n. - Milan Janjic, Dec 21 2008
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
1;
-7, 1;
56, -15, 1;
-504, 191, -24, 1;
...
s(2, x)= 56-15*x+x^2; S1(2, x)= -x+x^2 (Stirling1).
