Description
The HEP Statistics Serialization Standard is an emerging standard to
serialize statistical models in High Energy Physics as JSON (or
JSON-like) files.
Publishing likelihoods has been on the bucket-list of the HEP
community since 20 years. With this new standard, which is already
implemented in ROOT and has gathered support by all major HEP
statistics frameworks, the community will finally and for the first
time have the option to publish full statistical models of LHC
measurements in a software-independent format. The HS3 standard will
not only allow for long-term archiving of analyses but also facilitate
the combination and reinterpretation of LHC measurements.
The project is available on GitHub and overleaf and is actively
developed by physicists and software engineers from different
collaborations and statistical toolkits. Feedback and suggestions for
improvements are highly welcome.
