Thank you for your response. I saw already that example and some others too. However, they defined alpha and beta in the examples or use two different dataset. 
I did not know alpha and beta values and have only one data set.  I could calculate alpha and beta by using variance and means for the data has one peaks. 

How can I calculate alpha and beta for two peak distributions? 


Thanks
