Software:HEPLike
HEPLike is an open source framework [1]. It can store and evaluate likelihood tests from particle physics experiments. Due to its flexibility it can be interfaced with existing fitting codes and allows to uniform the interpretation of the experimental results among users. The code is provided with large open database, which contains the experimental measurements. The code is of use for users who perform phenomenological studies, global fits experimental averages.

The computer code described is written in C++, making it useful for majority of fitting programs available on the market. The library can be used in both the chi2 and likelihood fits. Moreover, it contains a statistical module with useful functions that can be used in the statistical analysis. Besides the computer code a database with the likelihoods is being published. The measurements are stored in the YAML files making them easy to read by both the machine and human.
The measurements are stored in the YAML files making them easy to read by both the machine and human. This database can be easily extended by adding new YAML files if new measurement becomes available. Another useful feature of HEPLike is the ability to search the measurement database for relevant measurements.
This software provides useful utilities which allow to perform searches inside the database, create BibTEX containing publications etc.
