Skellam Type Processes of Order and Beyond.

In this article, we introduce the Skellam process of order and its running average. We also discuss the time-changed Skellam process of order . In particular, we discuss the space-fractional Skellam process and tempered space-fractional Skellam process via time changes in Skellam process by independent stable subordinator and tempered stable subordinator, respectively. We derive the marginal probabilities, Lévy measures, governing difference-differential equations of the introduced processes. Our results generalize the Skellam process and running average of Poisson process in several directions.
