Abstract: Horn (1988) proved a necessary and sufficient condition for the stochastic ordering of an arbitrary folded normal variable and a standard folded normal variable. This paper studies the more general case and presents the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stochastic ordering of two arbitrary folded normal variables.
