Je vous ai donné l'usage ordinaire. Il faudrait voir l'extrait du texte avec bell-shaped pour comprendre s'il y a vraiment une différence.

Tony a l'air de suggérer une possible forme triangulaire
forme pyramidale? Mais le texte devrait pouvoir confirmer ou infirmer cette hypothèse

neutral  Cyril Tollari: Votre lien de recherche montre p. ex. "courbe en cloche", "graphique en forme de cloche" et toutes les variantes et synonymes possibles, mais pas votre graphe "de" cloche. Où sont les liens pour graphe "de" cloche ? J'aimerais comprendre.

Merci Cyril
Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci Cyril. Le document utilise également "bell-shaped" dans d'autres situations mais d'après vous les expressions sont strictement équivalentes? Pas d'expression alternative en FR qui permette de faire la "distinction"?

  -> merci
agree  Tony M: Isn't that more usually referred to as a 'Gaussian distribution'? 'Mound' is an odd term to use — I'm wondering if they are seeking to imply, perhaps, a more 'triangular'-shaped 'mound'?

  -> merci. Sur un grand nombre de sites américains de maths, ils utilisent indifféremment mound-shaped et bell-shaped, p.ex. https://math.illinoisstate.edu/day/courses/old/312/notes/one...
