This result combines searches in four exclusive categories targeting the production of the Higgs boson via gluon fusion, via vector boson fusion, in association with a vector boson, and in association with a top quark-antiquark pair. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision data at $\\sqrt{s}=13~\\mathrm{TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $137~\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. An excess of events over the background expectation is observed in data with a significance of 3.0 standard deviations, where the expectation for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson with mass of 125.38 GeV is 2.5. The combination of this result with that from data recorded at $\\sqrt{s} = 7$ and 8\\TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 and $19.7~\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, respectively, increases both the expected and observed significances by 1\\%. The measured signal strength, relative to the SM prediction, is $1.19^{+0.40}_{-0.39}(\\mathrm{stat})^{+0.15}_{-0.14}(\\mathrm{syst})$. This result constitutes the first evidence for the decay of the Higgs boson to second generation fermions and is the most precise measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to muons reported to date.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution in the VBF-SR region for data collected in 2016 compared to the post-fit background estimate...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the signal region 2016"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t2","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution in the VBF-SR region for data collected in 2017 compared to the post-fit background estimate...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the signal region 2017"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t3","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution in the VBF-SR region for data collected in 2018 compared to the post-fit background estimate...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the signal region 2018"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t4","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution for data collected in 2016 in the VBF-SB region compared to the post-fit background estimate...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the sideband region 2016"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t5","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution for data collected in 2017 in the VBF-SB region compared to the post-fit background estimate...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the sideband region 2017"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t6","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution for data collected in 2018 in the VBF-SB region compared to the post-fit background estimate...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the sideband region 2018"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t7","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution in the VBF-SB regions for the combination of 2016, 2017, and 2018 data, compared to...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the sideband region Run2"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t8","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed DNN output distribution in the VBF-SR region for the combination of 2016, 2017, and 2018 data, compared to...","name":"VBF DNN distribution in the signal region Run2"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.97042.v1/t9","@type":"Dataset","description":"The observed BDT output distribution compared to the prediction from the simulation of various SM background processes.
