Saving Lmer model

[DaviYokogawa]

I need to save the model created with Lmer in pickle because I need to use this model in MLflow, anyone knows how I can do that, or can I keep this model in mlflow been in h5 format?

Currently there's only support for saving models to .hdf5 and .rData files. Feel free to see how that's implemented here if it's helpful to propose some additions: https://github.com/ejolly/pymer4/blob/master/pymer4/io.py#L16

Hi @DaviYokogawa the newly release version 0.8.1 now used joblib to save and load models instead of hdf5 which may help your use case. I've had to switch over because the library we were using to save models before deepdish is no longer maintained.
