All-Pac-12 talent Mikayla Pivec's career in Corvallis has been memorable to say the least. While it's difficult to choose just three, her top moments include a career-high 19 rebounds against Washington, a buzzer-beating layup against ASU, and breaking Ruth Hamblin's Oregon State rebounding record this year against Stanford.

Over four years in Eugene, Ruthy Hebard has made a name for herself with reliability and dynamic play. She's had many memorable moments in a Duck uniform. But her career day against Washington State (34 points), her moment reaching 2,000 career points and her NCAA record for consecutive made FGs (2018) tops the list. Against the Trojans, she set the record (30) and later extended it to 33.

Sabrina Ionescu wins the Wooden Award for the second year in a row, becoming the fifth in the trophy's history to win in back-to-back seasons. With the honor, she completes a complete sweep of the national postseason player of the year awards. As a senior, Ionescu matched her own single-season mark with eight triple-doubles in 2019-20, and she was incredibly efficient from the field with a career-best 51.8 field goal percentage.

Pac-12 Networks' Mike Yam interviews former Oregon State guard Sydney Wiese to hear how she's recovering from contracting COVID-19. Wiese recounts her recent travel and how she's been lifted up by steadfast support from friends, family and fellow WNBA players. See more from Wiese during "Pac-12 Playlist" on Monday, April 6 at 7 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Network.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina freshman Aliyah Boston has won the Lisa Leslie Award given to the top center in women’s college basketball.

Pac-12 Networks' Ashley Adamson speaks with Oregon stars Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard and Satou Sabally to hear how special their recent Naismith Starting 5 honor was, as the Ducks comprise three of the nation's top five players. Ionescu (point guard), Sabally (small forward) and Hebard (power forward) led the Ducks to a 31-2 record in the 2019-20 season before it was cut short.

Pac-12 Networks' Ashley Adamson catches up with Oregon's "Big 3" of Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard and Satou Sabally to hear how they're adjusting to the new world without sports while still preparing for the WNBA Draft on April 17. They also share how they're staying hungry for basketball during the hiatus.

After sweeping every national player of the year award, Sabrina Ionescu is off to the WNBA level where her skills will make an instant impact — not just to her new team but the league as a whole. She averaged 17.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists for the Ducks in 2019-20, rewriting her own NCAA career triple-double record and becoming the first in college basketball history with at least 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists.

Athletic forward Satou Sabally is preparing to take the leap to the WNBA level following three productive seasons at Oregon. As a junior, she averaged 16.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game while helping the Ducks sweep the Pac-12 regular season and tournament titles. At 6-foot-4, she also drained 45 3-pointers for Oregon in 2019-20 while notching a career-best average of 2.3 assists per game.

Ruthy Hebard, who ranks 2nd in Oregon history in points (2,368) and 3rd in rebounds (1,299), prepares to play in the WNBA following four years in Eugene. Hebard is the Oregon and Pac-12 all-time leader in career field-goal percentage (65.1) and averaged 17.3 points per game and a career-high 9.6 rebounds per game as a senior.

UCLA guard Japreece Dean is primed to shine at the next level as she heads to the WNBA Draft in April. The do-it-all point-woman was an All-Pac-12 honoree last season, and one of only seven D-1 hoopers with at least 13 points and 5.5 assists per game.

Learn how Oregon stars Sabrina Ionescu and Ruthy Hebard developed a lasting bond as college freshmen and carried that through storied four-year careers for the Ducks. Watch "Our Stories Unfinished Business: Sabrina Ionescu and Ruthy Hebard" debuting Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Network.

Ruthy Hebard and Sabrina Ionescu have had a remarkable four years together in Eugene, rewriting the history books and pushing the Ducks into the national spotlight. Catch the debut of "Our Stories Unfinished Business: Sabrina Ionescu and Ruthy Hebard" at Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Network.

With the spotlight on her growing ever brighter, Sabrina Ionescu is aware she's becoming her own brand. One of the most decorated players in women's college basketball, Ionescu is about to go pro with the WNBA draft coming up Friday. Ionescu said Oregon has prepared her to understand how much impact she can have in the community and on women's basketball.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Sophomore guards Jazmine Massengill and Robyn Benton transferred to Kentucky from Southeastern Conference rivals Wednesday.

Baylor has signed a transfer point guard for the third year in a row, and this one can play multiple seasons with the Lady Bears. Jaden Owens is transferring from UCLA after signing a national letter of intent with Baylor, which had graduate transfers at point guard each of the past two seasons. The Texas native just completed her freshman season with the Bruins and has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

The Pac-12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee voted to award the Oregon State women’s basketball team with the Pac-12 Sportsmanship Award for the 2019-20 season, honoring their character and sportsmanship before a rivalry game against Oregon in Jan. 2020 -- the day Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gigi, and seven others passed away in a helicopter crash in Southern California. In the above video, Aleah Goodman and Madison Washington share how the teams came together as one in a circle of prayer before the game.

On the day Kobe Bryant suddenly passed away, the Beavers embraced their rivals at midcourt in a moment of strength to support the Ducks, many of whom had personal connections to Bryant and his daughter, Gigi. For this, Oregon State is the 2020 recipient of the Pac-12 Sportsmanship Award.

During Friday's "Pac-12 Perspective," Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer spoke about Haley Jones' positionless game and how the Cardinal used the dynamic freshman in 2019-20. Download and listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Abstract:
Global sensitivity analysis is a set of methods aiming at quantifying the contribution of an uncertain input parameter of the model (or combination of parameters) on the variability of the response. We consider here the estimation of the Sobol indices of order 1 which are commonly-used indicators based on a decomposition of the output’s variance. In a deterministic framework, when the same inputs always give the same outputs, these indices are usually estimated by replicated simulations of the model. In a stochastic framework, when the response given a set of input parameters is not unique due to randomness in the model, metamodels are often used to approximate the mean and dispersion of the response by deterministic functions. We propose a new non-parametric estimator without the need of defining a metamodel to estimate the Sobol indices of order 1. The estimator is based on warped wavelets and is adaptive in the regularity of the model. The convergence of the mean square error to zero, when the number of simulations of the model tend to infinity, is computed and an elbow effect is shown, depending on the regularity of the model. Applications in Epidemiology are carried to illustrate the use of non-parametric estimators.

Dual first-order methods are essential techniques for large-scale constrained convex optimization. However, when recovering the primal solutions, we need $T(epsilon^{-2})$ iterations to achieve an $epsilon$-optimal primal solution when we apply an algorithm to the non-strongly convex dual problem with $T(epsilon^{-1})$ iterations to achieve an $epsilon$-optimal dual solution, where $T(x)$ can be $x$ or $sqrt{x}$. In this paper, we prove that the iteration complexity of the primal solutions and dual solutions have the same $Oleft(frac{1}{sqrt{epsilon}} ight)$ order of magnitude for the accelerated randomized dual coordinate ascent. When the dual function further satisfies the quadratic functional growth condition, by restarting the algorithm at any period, we establish the linear iteration complexity for both the primal solutions and dual solutions even if the condition number is unknown. When applied to the regularized empirical risk minimization problem, we prove the iteration complexity of $Oleft(nlog n+sqrt{frac{n}{epsilon}} ight)$ in both primal space and dual space, where $n$ is the number of samples. Our result takes out the $left(log frac{1}{epsilon} ight)$ factor compared with the methods based on smoothing/regularization or Catalyst reduction. As far as we know, this is the first time that the optimal $Oleft(sqrt{frac{n}{epsilon}} ight)$ iteration complexity in the primal space is established for the dual coordinate ascent based stochastic algorithms. We also establish the accelerated linear complexity for some problems with nonsmooth loss, e.g., the least absolute deviation and SVM.
