[R] Help with analysis of variance

[Richard M. Heiberger]

Andrew,

I plotted your data first.  Then I made id, spell, year into factors
and did the ANOVA.
>From the graph, it looks like the two ids who had more than one spell
show variability in rate.
The ANOVA table agrees by showing high significance for the id:spell
interaction.
The numbers in this ANOVA table are not similar to your numbers.

mobility$id <- factor(mobility$id)
mobility$spell <- factor(mobility$spell)
mobility$year <- factor(mobility$year)

xyplot(rate ~ year | id, group=spell, data=mobility,
       pch=19, layout=c(1,5), scales=list(alternating=FALSE),
       between=list(y=1),
       strip=FALSE, strip.left=strip.custom(strip.names=c(TRUE,TRUE)))

mobility.aov <- aov(rate ~ year + id/spell, data=mobility)
anova(mobility.aov)

I know if children move home so the data also has an identifier for spells in the same neighbourhood (spell). I want to decompose the overall variation in children's experience of area unemployment, given by the sum of (rate - mean rate)^2, into a) the component within a residential spell, sum of (rate - spell mean of rate)^2, b) the component between spells, sum of (spell mean), and c) the component between children, sum of (rate - mean rate for child). I think I can do this longhand using the calculations below:
