The integral can't be computed:
Integrate[\[Nu] E[-0.5 Abs[
z/ \[Lambda]]^\[Nu]]/(\[Lambda] 2^(1 + 1/\[Nu]) Gamma[
1/\[Nu]]), z]
(2^(-1 - 1/\[Nu]) \[Nu] \[Integral]E[-0.5 Abs[
z/\[Lambda]]^\[Nu]] \[DifferentialD]z)/(\[Lambda] Gamma[1/\[Nu]]
)
Maybe you meant the first line to be
\[Lambda] = (2^(-2/\[Nu]) Gamma[1/\[Nu]]/ Gamma[3/\[Nu]])^(-1/2);
(parentheses for power, not brackets) and then the integral is still
undefined:
Integrate[\[Nu] E[-0.5 Abs[
z/ \[Lambda]]^\[Nu]]/(\[Lambda] 2^(1 + 1/\[Nu]) Gamma[
1/\[Nu]]), z]
(2^(-1 - 1/\[Nu]) \[Nu] Sqrt[(2^(-2/\[Nu]) Gamma[1/\[Nu]])/
Gamma[3/\[Nu]]] \[Integral]E[-0.5 2^(-\[Nu] Re[1/\[Nu]])
Abs[z]^\[Nu] Abs[Gamma[1/\[Nu]]/Gamma[3/\[Nu]]]^(\[Nu]/
2)] \[DifferentialD]z)/Gamma[1/\[Nu]]
But I doubt that's what you intended, either.
