Error in using mixGaussFit: Matrix must be positive definite

[rayleigh007]

OS: Windows & with Matlab 2015a

I was inputting a data=11 x 2180 comprises of 11 dimensions with 2180 observations to the function mixGaussFit(data, 2). It prompted the following error. How do i solved "Matrix must be positive definite."
