Averaging bell curves

[Lunamoth]

Hello,

I’m working with data collected over 4 years. Each has a mode which is the largest collected sample, with 1 week on each side.
I want to find a “best fit” bell curve to produce a model for future sampling effort predictions.

Any idea how I can accomplish this?

Thanks!!!

Your description does not make sense. "each has a mode"? Each what? You have suggested a collection of data gather over four years. Is ti divided into individual years? Is there a trend to be observed? Are we weighting the successive years in order to get some sort of posterior distribution? Are you sure you have a "mode"? Are your data actually "normal"? There's a lot of work, here, before things can be answered.
