Description

Hello,

I noticed pyod.models.init.py is commented. See: models.init.py

How do you propose to import the models from relative path?

I tried to import from relative path the models to test them but it is not possible.

import pyod
pyod.models. <<= no models

from pyod.models.copod import COPOD <<== works

My version is the last one: 0.8.6. Same symptoms with 0.8.5.

Research direction
Examine the pyod/models/ init .py file to understand why it is commented out. Check if there are any related PRs or discussions. The fix likely involves uncommenting the file or adding explicit imports for each model. Look at the pyod package's overall structure and see how other subpackages handle init .py. The solution should ensure that `pyod.models` is importable and exposes all models.
