Abstract
The authors discuss how catastrophic events, viz. rare failure events that violently affect the system, should be treated when assessing availability. In a general statistical framework, the problem treated is related to that of using the mean of a random variable to predict the actual value of the random variable. The discussion is based on experience gained from several availability studies of oil and gas production and transportation systems
