Abstract: Mazucheli et al. [On the one parameter unit-Lindley distribution and its associated regression model for proportion data. J. Appl. Stat. 46 (2019), pp. 700–714] introduced the unit Lindley distribution. The expressions given for the moments and incomplete moments are either not correct or not in closed form. We derive closed form expressions moments and incomplete moments. The expressions are elementary except for the exponential integral.
