Consider a random vector (X ′ , Y )′ , where X is d-dimensional and Y is one-dimensional. We assume that Y is subject to random right censoring. The aim of this paper is twofold. First we propose a new estimator of the joint distribution of (X ′ , Y )′. This estimator overcomes the common curse-of-dimensionality problem, by using a new dimension reduction technique. Second we assume that the relation between X and Y is given by a single index model, and propose a new estimator of the parameters in this model. The asymptotic properties of all proposed estimators are obtained.
