We present an adaptive estimator of the transition density based on the quotient of a deconvolution estimator of the density of $X_i$ and an estimator of the density of $(X_i,X_{i+1})$. These estimators are obtained by contrast minimization and model selection. We evaluate the $L2$ risk and its rate of convergence for ordinary smooth and supersmooth noise with regard to ordinary smooth and supersmooth chains. Some examples are also detailed.Statistics TheoryAdaptive estimation of the transition density of a particular hidden Markov chaintext
