Abstract
In this paper, based on Ruiz and Navarro (1995) and Sankaran and Sunoj (2004), we study and obtain more properties of discrete doubly truncated mean residual life (DMRL). Some characterizations due to distributions such as geometric, Waring, negative hypergeometric and discrete Pearson family of distributions are given based on discrete DMRL and general failure rate (GFR). Furthermore, the doubly truncated mean past to failure (DMPF) in both discrete and continuous distributions are studied more and their relations with GFR are obtained. Also, it has shown that the distribution function $F$ can be uniquely characterized from DMPF. Finally, some examples of distributions are presented.
