Variability orderings indicate that one probability distribution is more spread out or dispersed than another. Here variability orderings are considered that are preserved under conditioning on a common subset. One density f on the real line is said to be less than or equal to another, g, in uniform conditional variability order (UCVO) if the ratio f(x)/g(x) is unimodal with the model yielding a supremum, but f and g are not stochastically ordered. Since the unimodality is preserved under scalar multiplication, the associated conditional densities are ordered either by UCVO or by ordinary stochastic order. If f and g have equal means, then UCVO implies the standard variability ordering determined by the expectation of all convex functions. The UCVO property often can be easily checked by seeing if f(x)/g(x) is log-concave. This is illustrated in a comparison of open and closed queueing network models.
