I run a model (MTK) where one term of an equation does log(x^0.5). This seems to work sometimes, but also crashes for some parameter values when I do Monte Carlo simulation. If I change the term to log(sqrt(x)), the simulation seems to always work. Question: Is there a reason for the problem with x…

MTK - equation with sqrt(x) vs. x^0.5?
