      abstract     = {A search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson
                      ($\mathrm{H}$) decaying to $\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}$
                      when produced in association with an electroweak vector
                      boson is reported for the following processes:
                      $\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}(\nu\nu)\mathrm{H}$,
                      $\mathrm{W}(\mu \nu)\mathrm{H}$, $\mathrm{W}(\mathrm{e}
                      \nu)\mathrm{H}$, $\mathrm{Z}(\mu\mu)\mathrm{H}$, and
                      $\mathrm{Z}(\mathrm{e}\mathrm{e})\mathrm{H}$. The search is
                      performed in data samples corresponding to an integrated
                      luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV recorded
                      by the CMS experiment at the LHC during Run 2 in 2016. An
                      excess of events is observed in data compared to the
                      expectation in the absence of a $\mathrm{H}
                      \to\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}$ signal. The significance
                      of this excess is 3.3 standard deviations, where the
                      expectation from SM Higgs boson production is 2.8. The
                      signal strength corresponding to this excess, relative to
                      that of the SM Higgs boson production, is 1.2$\pm$0.4. When
                      combined with the Run 1 measurement of the same processes,
                      the signal significance is 3.8 standard deviations with 3.8
                      expected. The corresponding signal strength, relative to
                      that of the SM Higgs boson, is 1.06$^{+0.31}_{-0.29}$},
