Statistical models serve as the cornerstone for hypothesis testing in empirical studies. This paper introduces a new cross-platform Python-based package designed to utilise different likelihood prescriptions via a flexible plug-in system. This framework empowers users to propose, examine, and publish new likelihood prescriptions without developing software infrastructure, ultimately unifying and generalising different ways of constructing likelihoods and employing them for hypothesis testing within a unified platform. We propose a new simplified likelihood prescription, surpassing previous approximation accuracies by incorporating asymmetric uncertainties. Moreover, our package facilitates the integration of various likelihood combination routines, thereby broadening the scope of independent studies through a meta-analysis. By remaining agnostic to the source of the likelihood prescription and the signal hypothesis generator, our platform allows for the seamless implementation of packages with different likelihood prescriptions, fostering compatibility and interoperability.

Machine learning fully hadronic events with spectral functions
Spectral functions from two-point correlations serve as multiplicity-independent ML inputs and improve expected gluino mass reach by 150-250 GeV in a fully hadronic ttbar vs gluino benchmark.

Deciphering compressed electroweakino excesses with MadAnalysis 5
MadAnalysis 5 v1.11 adds validated recasting of two ATLAS compressed-electroweakino searches and shows that a proposed NMSSM scenario fits the soft-lepton and monojet excesses less well than simpler models.

A joint explanation for the soft lepton and monojet LHC excesses in the wino-bino model
A combined fit to four LHC Run 2 searches prefers a wino-bino supersymmetric spectrum with m(wino) ~ 320 GeV and mass splitting ~ 20 GeV, compatible with bino dark matter.
