In recipes: Preprocessing and Feature Engineering Steps for Modeling

#' Impute via bagged trees
#'
#' `step_impute_bag()` creates a *specification* of a recipe step that will
#' create bagged tree models to impute missing data.
#'
#' @inheritParams step_center
#' @param ... One or more selector functions to choose variables to be imputed.
#'  When used with `imp_vars`, these dots indicate which variables are used to
#'  predict the missing data in each variable. See [selections()] for more
#'  details.
#' @param impute_with A call to `imp_vars` to specify which variables are used
#'  to impute the variables that can include specific variable names separated
#'  by commas or different selectors (see [selections()]). If a column is
#'  included in both lists to be imputed and to be an imputation predictor, it
#'  will be removed from the latter and not used to impute itself.
#' @param trees An integer for the number of bagged trees to use in each model.
#' @param options A list of options to [ipred::ipredbagg()]. Defaults are set
#'  for the arguments `nbagg` and `keepX` but others can be passed in. **Note**
#'  that the arguments `X` and `y` should not be passed here.
#' @param seed_val An integer used to create reproducible models. The same seed
#'  is used across all imputation models.
#' @param models The [ipred::ipredbagg()] objects are stored here once this
#'  bagged trees have be trained by [prep()].

#' @details For each variable requiring imputation, a bagged tree is created
#'  where the outcome is the variable of interest and the predictors are any
#'  other variables listed in the `impute_with` formula. One advantage to the
#'  bagged tree is that is can accept predictors that have missing values
#'  themselves. This imputation method can be used when the variable of interest
#'  (and predictors) are numeric or categorical. Imputed categorical variables
#'  will remain categorical. Also, integers will be imputed to integer too.
#'
#'   Note that if a variable that is to be imputed is also in `impute_with`,
#'  this variable will be ignored.
#'
#'   It is possible that missing values will still occur after imputation if a
#'  large majority (or all) of the imputing variables are also missing.
#'
#'  As of `recipes` 0.1.16, this function name changed from `step_bagimpute()`
#'    to `step_impute_bag()`.
#'
#'  # Tidying
#'
#'  When you [`tidy()`][tidy.recipe()] this step, a tibble with columns
#'  `terms` (the selectors or variables selected) and `model`
#'  (the bagged tree object) is returned.
