template<class L>
Real	etirm::ExamineeThetaMLE (Real minTheta, Real maxTheta, Real precision, L &likelihood)
	Compute latent variable estimate for an examinee using maximum likelihood. Returns the latent trait estimate for the examinee.
template<class II, class IR>
Real	etirm::ExamineeThetaMLE (Real minTheta, Real maxTheta, Real precision, II items_begin, II items_end, IR responses_begin)
	Compute latent variable estimate for an examinee using maximum likelihood, create a ThetaLogLikelihood object from two item iterators and an interator to the examinee responses, and return the latent trait estimate for the examinee.
