Results from model 2 are shown
Lines of the table are rank probabilities denoted from 1 (best) to 13 (worst). In each line, rank probability (rank b, b = 1,…, 13) is given for each treatment, with ASATPG (0.53), followed by ASNAPH (0.11) and ASAQCPH (0.11). At lines 2 and 3, DHAP has the highest rank probability. At line 13, the highest probability 0.48 was obtained with ASCD
