In recipes: Preprocessing and Feature Engineering Steps for Modeling

#' Missing Value Column Filter
#'
#' `step_filter_missing()` creates a *specification* of a recipe step that will
#' potentially remove variables that have too many missing values.
#'
#' @inheritParams step_center
#' @param threshold A value for the threshold of missing values in column. The
#'  step will remove the columns where the proportion of missing values
#'  exceeds the threshold.
#' @param removals A character string that contains the names of
#'  columns that should be removed. These values are not determined
#'  until [prep()] is called.
#' @template step-return
#' @template filter-steps
#' @family variable filter steps
#' @export
#'
#' @details This step will remove variables if the proportion of missing
#'  values exceeds the `threshold`.
#'
#' All variables with missing values will be removed for `threshold = 0`.
#'
#' # Tidying
#'
#' When you [`tidy()`][tidy.recipe()] this step, a tibble with column
#' `terms` (the columns that will be removed) is returned.
