RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in power | return 1.0 / (1.0 + a * x ** (2 * b))

[nathanielbd]

This is a duplicate of #22 opened by @fedden. It was apparently resolved by passing correct parameters, but no specific details are mentioned.

Some things I am adding upon which were unresolved in that issue:

Same error occurs when spread is changed to 1 or 10. Same error also occurs when min_dist is 0.0, 0.1, or 0.99 while spread is default.

It may be helpful to add a more informative error message.
