| contents | Accurately measuring the properties of the Higgs boson is one of the primary physics objectives of the high-energy frontier. By incorporating the inclusive information of all reconstructed particles to identify the signal events, referred to as the holistic approach, we estimate the relative statistical uncertainty for the Higgs hadronic decay modes $H \to b\bar{b}$, $c\bar{c}$, $gg$, $WW^{*} \to 4q$, and $ZZ^{*} \to 4q$ at the Circular Electron--Positron Collider (CEPC) operating as a Higgs factory with an integrated luminosity of 21.6~ab$^{-1}$. In the $Z(μ^{+}μ^{-})H$ and $Z(ν\barν)H$ channels, the relative statistical uncertainties for these decay modes are projected to range from 0.36\% to 5.21\% and 0.16\% to 2.52\%, respectively. Compared to the CEPC Snowmass results, the holistic approach boosts the measurement precision by a factor of two to four. The scaling behavior, specifically the dependence of the anticipated accuracy on the training dataset size, is observed and analyzed. The precision of these leading Higgs decay modes, especially the $H \to b\bar{b}$ mode, is asymptotically approaching the statistical limit. The scaling behavior could also be applied to monitor the robustness and to quantify the uncertainties of the holistic approach. |
