Features of predicting random events and protection of technical objects from their influence

The paper presents research results of approaches to solving tasks of predicting occurrence of events that negatively affect technical objects. Among them, super-rare events stand out (events that occur randomly in big time intervals) and analysis of features of predicting them is conducted. Measures of protecting technical objects from negative influence of random events are reviewed, and a method of estimating the prediction accuracy on the basis of using risk concepts is presented.
