  <p>The peakedness of a random variable (RV) X about a point a
  is deﬁned by Pa(x)= P (|X − a|≤ x),x ≥ 0. A RV X is said to be less peaked about a than a RV Y about b, denoted
  by X ≤pkd(a,b) Y , if P (|X − a|≤ x) ≤ P (|Y − b|≤ x) for all x ≥ 0, i.e., |X − a| is stochastically larger than |Y − b|. These generalize the original deﬁnitions of
  Birnbaum (1948) who considered the cases where X
  and Y were symmetric about a and b,
  respectively. Statistical inferences about the distribution functions of
  continuous X and Y under peakedness ordering in the symmetric
  case have been treated in the literature. Rojo et al. (2007) provided
  estimators of the distributions in the general case and analyzed their
  properties. We show that these estimators could have poor asymptotic
  properties relative to those of the empiricals. We provide improved
  estimators of the DFs, show that they are consistent, derive the weak
  convergence of the estimators, compare them with the empirical estimators,
  and provide formulas for statistical inferences. </p>
