FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (1/19958400)*n^11 + (1/725760)*n^10 + (1/145152)*n^9 + (19/120960)*n^8 + (7/3600)*n^7 + (109/34560)*n^6 + (58081/725760)*n^5 + (26759/181440)*n^4 - (400597/907200)*n^3 + (863/126)*n^2 - (2792/495)*n + 5.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jul 30 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(6 - 49*x + 197*x^2 - 484*x^3 + 815*x^4 - 997*x^5 + 934*x^6 - 685*x^7 + 389*x^8 - 161*x^9 + 42*x^10 - 5*x^11) / (1 - x)^12.
a(n) = 12*a(n-1) - 66*a(n-2) + 220*a(n-3) - 495*a(n-4) + 792*a(n-5) - 924*a(n-6) + 792*a(n-7) - 495*a(n-8) + 220*a(n-9) - 66*a(n-10) + 12*a(n-11) - a(n-12) for n>12.
