getConstants is an internal function for
parsing constants for adaptive test assembly simulation.
getConstants(constraints, config, arg_data, true_theta, max_info)getConstants returns a named list containing constants.
a constraints object representing test specifications. Use loadConstraints for this.
a config_Shadow object. Use createShadowTestConfig for this.
the data argument from Shadow.
the true_theta argument from Shadow.
the maximum possible information attainable by any single item in the pool. This is used to determine the M value if M is not supplied.
