Abstract: This paper explores the application of Sample Entropy (SampEn) as a sophisticated tool for quantifying and predicting volatility in international oil price returns. SampEn, known for its ability to capture underlying patterns and predict periods of heightened volatility, is compared with traditional measures like standard deviation. The study utilizes a comprehensive dataset spanning 27 years (1986-2023) and employs both time series regression and machine learning methods. Results indicate SampEn's efficacy in predicting traditional volatility measures, with machine learning algorithms outperforming standard regression techniques during financial crises. The findings underscore SampEn's potential as a valuable tool for risk assessment and decision-making in the realm of oil price investments.
