-Get **CMSSW** for the Combined Tool:+Latest instructions to get ''combine'' can be found [[https://cms-hcomb.gitbooks.io/combine/content/part1/#for-end-users-that-dont-need-to-commit-or-do-any-development|in the manual]] and [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/SWGuideHiggsAnalysisCombinedLimit#ROOT606_SLC6_CMSSW_8_1_X|on the TWiki]]. In summary: Get **CMSSW** for the Combined Tool:
  
 <code bash> <code bash>
-export SCRAM_ARCH=slc6_amd64_gcc491 +export SCRAM_ARCH=slc6_amd64_gcc530 
-cmsrel CMSSW_7_4_7 +cmsrel CMSSW_8_1_0 
-cd CMSSW_7_4_7/src +cd CMSSW_8_1_0/src 
 cmsenv cmsenv
 </code> </code>
  
-Get **Combined Tool**:+(''combine'' in ''CMSSW_7_4_7'' is outdated.) Get **Combined Tool**:
  
 <code bash> <code bash>
 git clone https://github.com/cms-analysis/HiggsAnalysis-CombinedLimit.git HiggsAnalysis/CombinedLimit git clone https://github.com/cms-analysis/HiggsAnalysis-CombinedLimit.git HiggsAnalysis/CombinedLimit

This can method also can be used to extract the **observed cross section**.
 If you are interested in only an //approximation// of the **expected number of signal events** (**yield**) with the maximum likelihood fit, use ''[[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/SWGuideHiggsAnalysisCombinedLimit#Computing_the_observed_limit_wit|ProfileLikelihood]]''. For the **upper limits** however, you always should use ''Asymptotic'' instead. If you are interested in only an //approximation// of the **expected number of signal events** (**yield**) with the maximum likelihood fit, use ''[[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/SWGuideHiggsAnalysisCombinedLimit#Computing_the_observed_limit_wit|ProfileLikelihood]]''.
