These options override the default behavior of Tor's (**currently
experimental**) path bias detection algorithm. To try to find broken or
misbehaving guard nodes, Tor looks for nodes where more than a certain
fraction of circuits through that node fail after the first hop. The
PathBiasCircThreshold option controls how many circuits we need to build
through a guard before we make these checks. The PathBiasNoticeRate and
PathBiasDisableRate options control what fraction of circuits must
succeed through a guard so we won't warn about it or disable it,
respectively. When we have seen more than PathBiasScaleThreshold
circuits through a guard, we divide our observations by
PathBiasScaleFactor, so that new observations don't get swamped by old
ones. +

PathBiasWarnRate and PathBiasExtremeRate options control what fraction of

If less than PathBiasExtremeRate circuits succeed *and* PathBiasDropGuards
is set to 1, we disable use of that guard. +

By default, or if a negative value is provided for one of these options,
Tor uses reasonable defaults from the networkstatus consensus document.
If no defaults are available there, these options default to 20, .70,
0.0, 200, and 4 respectively.
If no defaults are available there, these options default to 150, .70,
.50, .30, 0, 300, 1, and 2 respectively.
