Some Varieties of Information.
Hintikka, Jaakko
Information Processing and Management, v20 n1-2 p175-81 1984
This essay distinguishes several different kinds of measures of information from each other, noting that differences between them show that our pretheoretical concept of information is multiply ambiguous. Incremental information, conditional information, transmitted information, expected information, and deductive information are discussed. Ten references are cited. (EJS)
