Abstract: In this paper discrete aging intensity and discrete alternative aging intensity functions are introduced. Further, using these functions we characterize some Discrete Weibull related distributions. Although, these discrete distributions have their continuous equivalents, quite often they seem to be more convenient in reliability analysis of elements and systems.
