Data from an experiment shows a relationship where the output variable increases to a single maximum value and then decreases, appearing to be symmetric. Both a quadratic and a quartic (

4^{th}

degree) polynomial model fit the data well. In the absence of a theoretical reason to prefer one over the other, why might a researcher choose the quadratic model?
