In this paper, we will introduce multivariate versions of bivariate conditionally positive dependence and the partial ordering is developed among conditionally positive lower orthant dependent(CPLOD) random vectors. This permits us to measure the degree of CPLOD-ness and to compare pairs of CPLOD random vectors. Some proper ties and closure under certain statistical operations are derived.
