Statistical solutions have recently been introduced as an alternative solution framework for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. In this work, we derive a novel a posteriori error estimate in the Wasserstein distance between dissipative statistical solutions and numerical approximations obtained from the Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin method in one spatial dimension, which rely on so-called regularized empirical measures. The error estimator can be split into deterministic parts which correspond to spatio-temporal approximation errors and a stochastic part which reflects the stochastic error. We provide numerical experiments which examine the scaling properties of the residuals and verify their splitting.
