Is there a term for something equally distributed around zero?

230 Views Asked by At

Let's say X is uniformly distributed in [-1 , 1]

Then what can we call the distribution of X³ ? It is not uniform, but it "mirrors" around 0 as well.

Is there a simple word describing X³ that would also apply to X⁵ and to 3X, for example?

I would call it "mirror around zero" but I find this ugly and was wondering if there's a better and established term.

Per the OP's comment, saying the distribution is "symmetric about zero" is a suitable phrase.
