Entropy indicates system irregularity. Sample Entropy (SampEn), an estimation of entropy in a relatively robust way, was used to differentiate patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) from healthy controls and to explore the mechanism of MDD. In this work, we found five clusters with significantly different SampEn in MDD group from that of control group, located in left frontal lobe, left parietal lobe, left temporal lobe, cerebellum and occipital lobe respectively, and the overall accuracy obtained with linear support vector machine formed by SampEn of those regions was 86.7%(p=0.000).
