A partial ordering is developed among weakly positive quadrant dependent (WPQD) bivariate random vectors. This permits us to measure the degree of WPQD-ness and to compare pairs of WPQD random vectors. Some properties and closures under certain statistical operations are derived. An application is made to measures of dependence such as Kendall's $\tau$ and Spearman's $\rho$.

In this paper we introduce a new concept of more weakly quadrant dependence of hitting times of stochastic processes. This concept is weaker than the more positively quadrant dependence of hitting times of stochastic processes. This concept is weaker than the more positively quadrant dependence and it is closed under some statistical operations of weakly positive quadrant dependence(WPQD) ordering.

In this paper we introduce a new concept of weakly positive upper orthant dependence POD of hitting times of stochastic processes. This concept is weaker than the positively orthant dependent and it is closed under a certain statistical operations of W POD ordering. Examples are given to illustrate these concepts.
