Schur order of conditional distributions #
We use the convex-test characterization of majorization of the functions
u ↦ P(V ≤ t | U = u), for every threshold t. Their common mean is t.
This compares the predictability of the second coordinate given the first.
It is a preorder on copulas, not an antisymmetric order.
Directional Schur order, in its continuous convex-test formulation.

Conditional-kernel versions may be replaced almost everywhere.
Measure-preserving reparametrization of conditional CDFs preserves Schur equivalence.
Independence is a least element, by Jensen's inequality.
The chord through the endpoint values bounds a convex conditional functional.
