| Abstract: | Some distributional properties of the record values of non–identically distributed random variables having geometric distributions are discussed. Three theorems dealing with the characterization of the geometric distribution based on these distributional properties are presented. The unique minimum variance unbiased estimators of some functions of the parameters of the distribution and various predictors of the s–th record valued utilizing the first m(m
