The density $$f(s)propto fracss+alphae^-s,quad s > 0$$ where $alpha ge 0$ is a parameter, lives between the exponential ($alpha=0$) and $Gamma(2,1)$ ($alpha to infty$) distributions. Just curious if this happens to be an example of a more general family of distributions? I do not recognize it as such.

If you meant $s>0$ then the density function becomes
$$
f(s) = frac alpha1-2,rm e^alphait Ei left( 3,alpha
right) cdot fracss+alpha e^-s
$$

where $it Ei$ is the exponential integral.



I cannot recognize that as something having a known name. Where did you encounter this?
