Statistics & Probability Letters, 1989, vol. 8, issue 4, 335-337

Abstract: In this note the negative hyper geometric, Waring and geometric models are characterized by the distributions based on their partial sums. The relationships between the failure rate and mean residual life functions of the parent as well as partial sum distributions, along with the forms of these functions that characterize the above models are also presented.
