COMMENTS
The exponential integral distribution is defined by p(x, m, n, mu) = ((n+mu-1)^m * x^(mu-1) / (mu-1)!) * E(x, m, n), see A163931 and the Meijer link. The moment generating function of this probability distribution function is M(a, m, n, mu) = Sum_{k>=0}(((mu+k-1)!/((mu-1)!*k!)) * ((n+mu-1) / (n+mu+k-1))^m * a^k).
In the special case that mu=1 we get p(x, m, n, mu=1) = n^m * E(x, m, n) and M(a, m, n, mu=1) = n^m * Phi(a, m, n), with Phi the Lerch transcendent. If n=1 and mu=1 we get M(a, m, n=1, mu=1) = polylog(m, a)/a = Li_m(a)/a.
