Is there a name for this curve? Or, how should I describe the behavior of this graph (in words)?

Question

I simulated some results that look like this:

but I don't want to include the plot (my advisor is keeping me to a strict limit on figures and these are minor intermediate results).

Is there a name for this type of curve? I'm thinking of saying something like "increases sigmoidally 0 to -0.2 and from 0 to 0.2" but that sounds very clumsy to me.

Answer 1

I would say something like "an upside down bell curve". Or Gaussian function.
