This special issue was conceived to honor Donald L. Iglehart on the occasion of his 80th birthday. In a series of papers beginning in 1975, Iglehart introduced and led the development of the regenerative method for simulation output analysis, providing the first sound basis for computing point and interval estimates for measures of steady-state system performance. Even for simulations in which regenerative simulation per se may be infeasible, regenerative arguments can be used to establish strong laws of large numbers and central limit theorems, showing that a given steady-state estimation problem is well defined, and hence perhaps amenable to other types of output analysis methods.
