Abstract:

This paper describes the Combine software
package used for statistical analyses by the CMS Collabora-
tion. The package, originally designed to perform searches
for a Higgs boson and the combined analysis of those
searches, has evolved to become the statistical analysis tool
presently used in the majority of measurements and searches
performed by the CMS Collaboration. It is not specific to the
CMS experiment, and this paper is intended to serve as a ref-
erence for users outside of the CMS Collaboration, providing
an outline of the most salient features and capabilities. Read-
ers are provided with the possibility to run Combine and
reproduce examples provided in this paper using a publicly
available container image. Since the package is constantly
evolving to meet the demands of ever-increasing data sets
and analysis sophistication, this paper cannot cover all details
of Combine. However, the online documentation referenced
within this paper provides an up-to-date and complete user
guide
