The Influence Diagrams (IDs) is a kind of Probabilistic Belief Networks for graphic modeling. The usage of IDs can improve the communication among field experts, modelers, and decisionmakers, by showing the issue frame from a high-level point of view. But with the size and scope increasing of the complex issue descibed, the IDs model evaluation is more and more difficult. Moreover, the appearances of some extended IDs made it´s crying for approximate evaluating methods. This paper studys stochastic simulation for the evaluation of Dynamic-Stochastic Influence Diagrams (DSIDs), a kind of extended IDs, to discuss its sampling stopping procedure. The introduced stopping procedure and its implementation for scenarios comparison could bring more exact sampling times or less sampling time.
