CMSSW package for the creation, editing and analysis of combine datacards and workspaces

CombineHarvester

Full documentation: http://cms-analysis.github.io/CombineHarvester

Quick start

This package requires HiggsAnalysis/CombinedLimit to be in your local CMSSW area. We follow the release recommendations of the combine developers which can be found here. The CombineHarvester framework is compatible with the CMSSW 14_1_X and 11_3_X series releases. The default branch, main, is for developments in the 14_1_X releases, and the current recommended tag is v3.0.0-pre1. The v2.1.0 tag should be used in CMSSW_11_3_X.

A new full release area can be set up and compiled in the following steps:

cmsrel CMSSW_14_1_0_pre4
cd CMSSW_14_1_0_pre4/src
cmsenv
git clone https://github.com/cms-analysis/HiggsAnalysis-CombinedLimit.git HiggsAnalysis/CombinedLimit
# IMPORTANT: Checkout the recommended tag on the link above
git clone https://github.com/cms-analysis/CombineHarvester.git CombineHarvester
git checkout v3.0.0-pre1
scram b

Previously this package contained some analysis-specific subpackages. These packages can now be found here. If you would like a repository for your analysis package to be created in that group, please create an issue in the CombineHarvester repository stating the desired package name and your NICE username. Note: you are not obliged to store your analysis package in this central group.
