It is common to have both observed and missing values in data. This paper concentrates on the case where a value can be somewhere between those two ends, partially observed and partially missing. To achieve that, a method of using evidence nodes in a Bayesian network is studied. Different ways of handling inaccuracies are discussed in examples and the proposed approach is justified in the experiments with real image data. Also, a justification is given for the standard preprocessing step of adding a tiny amount of noise to the data, when a continuous valued model is used for discrete-valued data.
