Prob(Best): Probability of being the best treatment

SUCRA: Surface under the cumulative ranking curve. The larger the SUCRA value for the treatment k, the higher its rank among the available treatment options. SUCRA would be 1 when a treatment is certain to be the best and 0 when a treatment is certain to be the worst
