  We provide in this paper a fully adaptive penalized procedure to select a
covariance among a collection of models observing i.i.d replications of the
process at fixed observation points. For this we generalize previous results of
Bigot and al. and propose to use a data driven penalty to obtain an oracle
inequality for the estimator. We prove that this method is an extension to the
matricial regression model of the work by Baraud.
