A quick Google search turns up the following:

http://kiefer.stat.cwru.edu/~catherine/

That is her main contact page.  There is a list of publications here:

http://kiefer.stat.cwru.edu/~catherine/pubs.html

There is a link to the paper (as a Postscript file) at the bottom of
that page, however the link appears to be dead.

You can e-mail her using catherine at cwru.edu

HTH,
