      abstract     = {This paper describes the Combine software package used for
                      statistical analyses by the CMS Collaboration. 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 reference for users
                      outside of the CMS Collaboration, providing an outline of
                      the most salient features and capabilities. Readers 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.},
