N2 - We study Fisher information of stationary Markov models with a finite alphabet. In particular, we derive the Fisher information determinant of expectation parameter η, which is defined as expectation of Markov type. The Fisher information determinant with respect to Markov kernel parameter (conditional probabilities) is easy to find, while it is not so with respect to the expectation parameter η nor the natural parameter θ. Note that θ and η are of special importance for exponential families including Markov models.
