      abstract     = {A search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H)
                      decaying to $b\bar{b}$ when produced in association with an
                      electroweak vector boson is reported for the following
                      processes: Z(νν)H , W(μν)H , W(eν)H , Z(μμ)H , and
                      Z(ee)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 H → $b\bar{b}$ 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±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$_{−0.29}^{+0.31}$ .},
