Specific-information

In information theory, specific-information is the generic name given to the family of state-dependent measures that in expectation converge to the mutual information. There are currently three known varieties of specific information usually denoted I V {displaystyle I_{V}} , I S {displaystyle I_{S}} , and I s s i {displaystyle I_{ssi}} .The specific-information between a random variable X {displaystyle X} and a state Y = y {displaystyle Y=y} is written as : I ( X ; Y = y ) {displaystyle I(X;Y=y)} .
