Simple approximation techniques are developed exploiting relationships between generalized convex orders and appropriate probability metrics. In particular, the distance between s-convex ordered random variables is investigated. Results connecting positive or negative dependence concepts and convex ordering are also presented. These results lead to approximations and bounds for the distributions of sums of positively or negatively dependent random variables. Applications and extensions of the main results pertaining to compound Poisson, normal and exponential approximation are provided as well.

In this paper we consider some dependence properties and orders among multivariate distributions, and we study their preservation under mixtures. Applications of these results in reliability, risk theory, and mixtures of discrete distributions are provided.

Abstract We prove that different conditional distributions can be represented as distorted distributions. These representations are used to obtain stochastic comparisons and bounds for them based on properties of the underlying copula. These properties can be used to explain the meaning of mathematical properties of copulas connecting them with dependence concepts. Some applications and illustrative examples are provided as well.
