Expand description
CMS Combine datacard emission for already-filled one-dimensional histograms.
The multi-process API takes one nominal histogram per (channel, process)
column. Producing those per-process histograms by running the analysis over
multiple samples with per-sample xsec*lumi/sumw normalization is the
natural follow-up in the sample/normalization layer; this module only emits
the already-filled histograms it is given. Running combine remains the
external validation step.
