data has 33 points Your model requires values for 35 parameters (5 parameters x 7 components). I find it hard to believe that you will find a solution where you have more unknown parameters that data Again, I recommend on using the function EstimatedDistribution, on the real data, since I assume you have much more points there. In addition, to define a distribution as a mixture of several distributions, you need to look at MixtureDistribution HTH yehuda

Dear Yehuda, thank you for your reply. My issue is I am not fitting raw data to a distribution, I have an empirical PDF of that distribution. I suppose that won't work as "EstimatedDistribution" works with the raw measurement data, not frequencies.

Have you considered of using the function

EstimatedDistribution
