Get right results using FindDistribution - "TargetFunctions"?

Dear all,

I would like to get the AIC and BIC for several distributions relating to an empirical data set. As I don't want to get the best fitting once (I always get "MixtureDistribution" as a result, which is not really satisfying) I tried to get the specific results for several distributions. Unfortunately, after using this code:

FindDistribution[data, 
 TargetFunctions -> {ParetoDistribution, NormalDistribution, 
   LaplaceDistribution}, {"AIC", "BIC"}]

I just get this as a result:

SymbolicMachineLearning`file19FindDistribution`PackagePrivate`\
iFindDistribution[{0.00293084, 0.0129467, -0.00500067, -0.00462811, 
  0.0059465, -0.0199607, -Log[372]

Does anyone know whats the problem here? I don't get what it wants to tell me with: "SymbolicMachineLearningfile19FindDistributionPackagePrivate`\iFindDistribution"

Thank you in advance!

Best regards Alex

Attaching data file would potentially get you a bit more attention.
