Update the theta used for routing of an examinee object

Description

updateThetaForRouting is a function for updating examinee objects after completing a module. updateThetaForRouting determines what type of theta estimate is used to perform routing.

Usage

updateThetaForRouting(examinee_object, current_module_position, combine_policy)

Arguments

examinee_object	an examinee object.
current_module_position	the current module position.
combine_policy	This is only applied when module_position %% 2 == 0 (at Phase 2, which is the end of each test). conditional uses the combined theta (using items from the previous module combined with the current module), if the examinee was in the same grade in Phases 1 and 2. If the examinee was in different grades in Phases 1 and 2, then the theta estimate from Phase 2 is used. always uses the combined theta. never uses the theta estimate from Phase 2. (default = conditional)

Value

an examinee object with its estimated_theta_for_routing slot updated.
