How can I fit a Gaussian and a Uniform distribution to the same data?

I need to fit a mixed Gaussian and uniform distribution to the same data. I know how to fit the Gaussian distribution and the uniform distribution seperately but not together.

You should be able to do this using the nlinfit command of the Statistics Toolbox. You'll need to specify your own functional form, the combination of gaussian and uniform.

There are examples in the documentation. You can find a couple simple examples I have posted here if you do a keyword search on nlinfit and cyclist .
