So You Have Your Model: What to Do Next. A Tutorial on Simulation Output Analysis

Simulation models are built with the intent of studying the behavior of the real system represented by the model. However, a simulation model generates random outputs; thus, the data generated by it can only be used to estimate the true measure of performance. In this tutorial, we introduce several concepts and techniques to analyze such output. Additional examples will be given during the presentation of the tutorial.
