Publishing full statistical models of CMS physics analyses

초록

The CMS Collaboration has recently approved the public release of full statistical models for its physics analyses, including the data necessary to construct complete likelihoods. The statistical inference tool, Combine, essential for this process, is now available under an open source license. This report highlights key features of Combine and discusses the publication and utilization of statistical models, including the first released model used in the discovery of the Higgs boson. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).
