PDF using two multimodal data sets?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to shed light on how I would go about working out the probability density function of a data set with two variables when each data set has more than one mean?

Up until now I've just been using the example:

mu = [10.0160 226.9204]; Sigma = [6.7403 164.6693];
X = [A(:) B(:)];
p = mvnpdf(X, mu, Sigma);

but now I have to perform the same but with one variable that is bimodal and one that is trimodal. Is this possible??

Anytime I try it using the above but just with the mean and std dev as 2x3 matrices I get errors telling me that X and mu must have the same number of columns, if I do it as a 3x2 the error is that X and mu must have the same number of rows. Is there a way round this??

Thanks a lot for any help or suggestions!
Natalie
