1  Model Save & Load
 2  =================
 3  
 4  PyOD takes a similar approach of sklearn regarding model persistence.
 5  See `model persistence <https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/model_persistence.html>`_ for clarification.
 6  
 7  In short, we recommend to use joblib or pickle for saving and loading PyOD models.
 8  See `"examples/save_load_model_example.py" <https://github.com/yzhao062/pyod/blob/master/examples/save_load_model_example.py>`_ for an example.
 9  In short, it is simple as below:
10  
11  .. code-block:: python
12  
13      from joblib import dump, load
14  
15      # save the model
16      dump(clf, 'clf.joblib')
17      # load the model
18      clf = load('clf.joblib')
19

21  It is known that there are challenges in saving neural network models.
