On Order-Preserving Properties of Probability Metrics

Abstract

Stochastic orders and probability metrics are two areas that have received considerable attention in recent literature. A question of interest on its own and for certain applications is the preservation of metrics with respect to orders. This property does not seem to have been examined explicitly so far. Our purpose in this paper is to provide some useful remarks and results related to several orders and metrics which are standard in probability.
