Abstract: n this paper, we introduce the R package mcmsupply which implements Bayesian hierarchical models for estimating and projecting modern con-traceptive method supply shares over time. The package implements four model types. These models vary by the administration level of their outcome estimates (national or sub national estimates) and dataset type utilised in the estimation (multi-country or single-country contraceptive market supplydatasets). mcmsupply contains a compilation of national and subnationallevel contraceptive source datasets, generated by IPUMS and Demographicand Health Survey microdata. We describe the functions that implement the models through practical examples. The annual estimates and projections with uncertainty of the contraceptive market supply, produced by mcmc-supply at a national and subnational level, are the first of their kind. These estimates and projections have diverse applications, including acting as an indicator of family planning market stability over time and being utilised in the calculation of estimates of modern contraceptive use.
