What's the purpose behind fitting the data? Do you just want interpolated values? Do you want to understand something about the physics, chemistry, whatever, regarding this data?

ok I will explain.

when we are going to the left to the right, I want to have the area of second peak which is the signature of one chemical compound. I have many voltammogrammes were this peak increase with the concentration of the analyte. so I want to fit the data with a kind of two gaussian function. when I use a sum of two error functions the fitting is not good.

I hope that now you understand my problem

also, the function should have an electrochemical meaning. thank you

That's why I asked. I'm not an electrochimist thoiugh, so you will have to provide us with a function that describes what is happening. Given the expected form of the function, we can show you how to fit it.

we want to used two gaussian functions.
