Specific-information explained

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} , I _{S} , and I _{ssi} .The specific-information between a random variable X and a state Y = y is written as :I( X ; Y = y) .
