bayesPop: Probabilistic Population Projection

Generating population projections for all countries of the world using several probabilistic components, such as total fertility rate, life expectancy at birth and net migration (Raftery et al., 2012 <doi:10.1073/pnas.1211452109>). The package can be also used for subnational population projections.
