Module 11. Assignment: Question A:   Question B:   B1:  Your assignment is to generate the model matrices for the following models: 1.  z ~ a*b  #Model with interaction (a*b). 2. z  ~ a:b  #Model with only interaction term (a:b)). Shown in attached screenshots.   B2:  Please also discuss the implications of using these two models; please be reminded about the model fits and notice which models contain singularities.  After running the two models, we have gained some valuable knowledge. The model  " z ~ a*b" includes the main effects of a and b. Including their interaction as they complete the model. In contrast, the model "z ~ a:b" only includes the interaction term. As we analyze and gather data from the output, the second model has a result that portrays singularity, where one coefficient is not defined. The reason for this occurrence is due to the design matrix has columns that are linearly dependent. As a result, we can not e...
