[R] Variance components from lm?

[Spencer Graves]

	  Yes, I'm very thankful for the support of Prof. Jonathan Baron and 
all the others who have contributed their time, creative energies and 
(for some) money to make R what it is today.  It is beyond the budgets 
of most people on this planet to purchase licenses for every piece of 
statistical software that purports to do anything useful, not to mention 
the amount of time required to install and learn how to use 
fundamentally incompatible software, overcome the sometimes near 
impossiblity of porting data between the different platforms, etc.  It 
is therefore an enormous contribution to have this common platform that 
includes capabilities to perform a increasing porportion of the 
statistical analyses that people in different disciplines have found 
useful.

	  Indeed, this is not only a service to the statistical community, it 
is an enormous contribution to the future of humanity, because it makes 
it easier for people to learn a variety of statistical techniques, 
thereby making it easier for them to get better answers to the questions 
that concern them -- and through their increased statistical literacy, 
making it easier for them effectively pressure others to improve the 
quality of their problem solving through better collection and analysis 
of data.
