Pivoting to EWK Compressed as those workspaces are somewhat less convoluted to deal with and their tables are also from HistFitter - http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/SUSY-2018-16/ - https://www.hepdata.net/record/ins1767649 See table 10 for example:...

To summarize briefly from offline with @phinate and @alexander-held (some bullet points): - https://github.com/scikit-hep/cabinetry/blob/59b49fbb5e3caffb76b12df5277d71912e909712/src/cabinetry/fit/__init__.py#L1106-L1115 gives p0 for reference - https://github.com/gradhep/relaxed/blob/2bff24096f06068eba9b6ec75fdb0ab69a1243bc/src/relaxed/infer.py#L137 ![image (50)](https://github.com/scikit-hep/pyhf/assets/761483/c0788ae1-81d1-44f6-a903-dcf5313a011a) - conventionally, we don't typically report CLs for...

One more thing, `CLx` is making the implicit assumption (for `x=s, sb, b`) that the test stat involve is either qmu or qmu-tilde.

I think it would be useful to add this under `contrib`. We'll need to figure out the spec for this that is close to HS3 as possible. Aside -- more...

> Ah, I didn't realize there was a test for this! Does that get run with all the backends? When I get a chance I can try running that locally...

@matthewfeickert i saw the PR, and I think we need to swap the way we're approaching this. Here's my suggestion instead of type-casting - we need to add in shims...

One thought at the moment is you can subclass the `scipy_optimizer` via something like this for now: ```python class scipy_optimizer_hess(pyhf.optimize.scipy_optimizer): def _get_minimizer(self, *args, hess=None, **kwargs): return lambda *a, **k: scipy.optimize.minimize(*a,...

#994 is along similar lines here. If I was to make this a bit more flexible, I'd rely on something more like XPath support so you can do `.samples[name="ttbar"].modifiers[kind="normsys"]` or...

I'm now digging into this, but I believe even the XML spec doesn't allow for this. Do you have an actual example of the XML spec? For example, `ShapeFactor` has...
