agree  writeaway: ok. the ref I found also shows you may well be right. But it's your responsibility to provide valid refs for your answer(s). If you are so sure of an answer, then providing a ref shouldn't pose a problem. don't like"for me to know and for you to find out"

  -> That's my thinking//I cannot see what else it could be! Please prove me wrong :)//Thank you for agreeing with me, I simply did not have the time to look for refs this morning. If you look at my answers, I generally provide detailed refs. Bon weekend.
agree  Catharine Cellier-Smart: see page 16 of http://remvt.cirad.fr/cd/EMVT94_1.PDF or page 29 of http://www.sist.sn/gsdl/collect/eismv/index/assoc/HASH0669.d...

neutral  Tony M: As a statistical distribution, that would be logical; but doesn't seem to fit here, where 'cloche' sounds like some physical piece of avicultural equipment. There are sort of bell-shaped cages where individual chickens are kept (don't know why...)

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I'd immediately thought of Gauss, but when I came to the question and the context posted, then this seems to have nothing at all to do with stats. If we get some context indicating this is a "courbe de mortalité en cloche", then we can be sure it is sure!
