Abstract

In the present work we establish characterizations of some discrete distributions using properties of the reversed hazard rate and reversed mean residual life. Discrete distributions having a constant reversed hazard rate, the reversed lack of memory property, and the product of the reversed hazard rate and the mean residual life a constant are identified. Some properties of the reversed variance residual life and a characterization are also discussed.
