This paper proposes Nonparametric Adaptive Refined Descriptive Sampling algorithm (NARDS) to estimate the survival function in
lifetime models using Kaplan-Meier and Fleming-Harrington estimators. Simulations were performed using real data to generate
inputs. The obtained results prove that NARDS works well on nonparametric data.
