    abstract = {When modeling technical processes, the training data regularly come from test plans, to reduce the number of experiments and to save time and costs. On the other hand, this leads to unobserved combinations of the input variables. In this article it is shown, that these unobserved configurations might lead to un-trainable parameters. Afterwards a possible design criterion is introduced, which avoids this drawback. Our approach is tested to model a welding process. The results show, that hybrid Bayesian networks are able to deal with yet unobserved in- and output data.},
