MDD = major depressive disorder; HC = healthy controls; PLR = penalized logistic regression model with elastic net penalty; SVM = support vector machine; RF = random forest.

Notes. Numbers in the parentheses are the average rank from 10 repeated fivefold cross‐validation. Average rank refers to the mean rank across the three algorithms.
