We show Vector Autoregressive Moving Average models with scalar Moving Average components could be estimated by generalized least square (GLS) for each fixed moving average polynomial. The conditional variance of the GLS model is the concentrated covariant matrix of the moving average process. Under GLS the likelihood function of these models has similar format to their VAR counterparts. Maximum likelihood estimate can be done by optimizing with gradient over the moving average parameters. These models are inexpensive generalizations of Vector Autoregressive models. We discuss a relationship between this result and the Borodin-Okounkov formula in operator theory.
