  The Lindley distribution and its numerous generalizations are widely used in
statistical and engineering practice. Recently, a power transformation of
Lindley distribution, called the power Lindley distribution, has been
introduced by M. E. Ghitany et al., who initiated the investigation of its
properties and possible applications. In this article, new results on the power
Lindley distribution are presented. The focus of this work is on the
moment-(in)determinacy of the distribution for various values of the
parameters. Afterwards, certain applications are provided to describe data sets
of software metrics.
