Abstract A program in the MATLAB environment is described for computing the Fisher information matrix of the exact information matrix of a Gaussian vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) model. A computationally efficient procedure is used on the basis of a state space representation. It relies heavily on matrix operations. An illustration of the procedure is given for simple VARMA models and an example of output from a more realistic application is discussed.
