A discrete probability distribution function derived from symbolization techniques applied to the EEG signal is used to calculate the Tsallis entropy, Shannon Entropy, Renyi Entropy, and Min Entropy, and they are used separately as the only independent variable in a logistic regression model in order to evaluate its capacity as a classification variable in a inferential manner. The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, along with the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity are used to compare the models. All the permutation entropies are excellent classifiers, with an accuracy greater than 94.5% in every case, and a sensitivity greater than 97%. Accounting for the amplitude in the symbolization technique retains more information of the signal than its counterparts, and it could be a good candidate for automatic classification of EEG signals."enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ELECTROENCEFALOGRAFIAENTROPIAArtículos de Publicaciones Periódicas
