hi all!
i have done some fitting test of a dataset. I do quantile quantile
plot that points out that the best distribution that fit my data is a
linear combination of a weibull and a normal distribution. How can i
have a teorical test that can confirm it? People that work with me
wants to see numbers, not only QQ plots. And they don't like sum of
square error...

any advice?

About one week ago you posted the same message, with the same spelling
mistake, to sci.stat.math , and there have been 16 messages in that
thread. I think you should have mentioned that in your message, so
people can avoid duplicating what has already been said. Ideally, you
could summarize what has already been said and state what your
remaining questions are.
