\title{Impute numeric data below the threshold of measurement}
\usage{
step_impute_lower(
  recipe,
  ...,
  role = NA,
  trained = FALSE,
  threshold = NULL,
  skip = FALSE,
  id = rand_id("impute_lower")
)

)
}
\arguments{
\item{recipe}{A recipe object. The step will be added to the
sequence of operations for this recipe.}

\item{...}{One or more selector functions to choose variables
for this step. See \code{\link[=selections]{selections()}} for more details.}

\item{role}{Not used by this step since no new variables are
created.}

\item{trained}{A logical to indicate if the quantities for
preprocessing have been estimated.}

\item{threshold}{A named numeric vector of lower bounds. This is
\code{NULL} until computed by \code{\link[=prep]{prep()}}.}

\item{skip}{A logical. Should the step be skipped when the
recipe is baked by \code{\link[=bake]{bake()}}? While all operations are baked
when \code{\link[=prep]{prep()}} is run, some operations may not be able to be
conducted on new data (e.g. processing the outcome variable(s)).
Care should be taken when using \code{skip = TRUE} as it may affect
the computations for subsequent operations.}

\item{id}{A character string that is unique to this step to identify it.}
}
\value{
An updated version of \code{recipe} with the new step added to the
sequence of any existing operations.
}
\description{
\code{step_impute_lower} creates a \emph{specification} of a recipe step
designed for cases where the non-negative numeric data cannot be
measured below a known value. In these cases, one method for
imputing the data is to substitute the truncated value by a
random uniform number between zero and the truncation point.
}
\details{
\code{step_impute_lower} estimates the variable minimums
from the data used in the \code{training} argument of \code{prep.recipe}.
\code{bake.recipe} then simulates a value for any data at the minimum
with a random uniform value between zero and the minimum.

As of \code{recipes} 0.1.16, this function name changed from \code{step_lowerimpute()}
to \code{step_impute_lower()}.
}
\section{Tidying}{
When you \code{\link[=tidy.recipe]{tidy()}} this step, a tibble with columns
\code{terms} (the selectors or variables selected) and \code{value} for the
estimated threshold is returned.
}

\section{Case weights}{


The underlying operation does not allow for case weights.
