Weird error message when trying to calculate a contour with a wrong probabilistic model

Expected behavior

How should it work (with the bug fixed or the feature implemented)? The error messages should be clearer. If a probabilistic model is such that no environmental contour can be calculated, the probabilistic model should not be allowed to be created at all.

Actual behavior

How does it currently work (with the bug causing problems or without the feature)?

IFORM:

HDC:

Steps to reproduce the problem (how to see the actual behavior)

1. Create the probabilistic model shown in the screenshot
2. Calculate an IFORM or HDC contour
3. See the strange error messages

For some reason I cannot reproduce this error.

Model resulting when I fit LN LN(power, power) to the Vanem2012 data set:

(The model is different from the one shown in the issue, probably because of changes by Tobias and Jannik to the fitting and handling of shape/loc/scale and mu.

When I try to enter the probabilistic model directly I get the error message that no negativ values are allowed (for the ^-0.16).

Resulting contour:

Since I cannot reproduce this error and a wrong error message would not be a high-priority issue I am closing this issue.
