A two-parameter discrete gamma distribution is derived corresponding to the continuous two parameters gamma distribution using the general approach for discretization of continuous probability distributions. One parameter discrete gamma distribution is obtained as a particular case. A few important distributional and reliability properties of the proposed distribution are examined. Parameter estimation by different methods is discussed. Performance of different estimation methods are compared through simulation. Data fitting is carried out to investigate the suitability of the proposed distribution in modeling discrete failure time data and other count data.
