Discrete-event simulation output processes are seldom composed of independent and identically distributed random variables, but should be analyzed with statistical methods because they are stochastic. This tutorial presents the ideas underlying some of the methods that have been developed for statistical analysis of output processes. References to relevant work in the simulation literature and to standard textbooks on the subject are provided for those who are interested in deeper treatments of these methods than can be given in the space allotted here.
