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.}, keywords = {CMS (INSPIRE) / statistical analysis (INSPIRE) / programming (INSPIRE) / manual (INSPIRE) / CMS (autogen) / Combine (autogen) / Higgs (autogen) / Higgs boson (autogen) / Statistics (autogen)}, cin = {CMS}, ddc = {004}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)CMS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611) / DFG project G:(GEPRIS)390833306 - EXC 2121: Quantum Universe (390833306) / HIDSS-0002 - DASHH: Data Science in Hamburg - Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter $(2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611 / G:(GEPRIS)390833306 / $G:(DE-HGF)2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002$}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-CMS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {2404.06614}, howpublished = {arXiv:2404.06614}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2404.06614;\%\%$}, doi = {10.1007/s41781-024-00121-4}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/617710}, }
