Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Reproduction of a Table

[erictamlam]

Hi all, I am a beginner writing papers in latex. I wanted to create a table like this, but my code didn't work out the way i wanted. Anyone lending a hand please? thanks!

Code: Select all

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Channel $j$} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Transition prob.} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Equilibrium distribution} \\ \cline{2-3} & $p_j$ & $q_j$ \multicolumn{2}{c}{} \\

%\multicolumn{1}{c}{}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{$p_j$}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{$q_j$}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{$\pi_{bj}$}&\multicolumn{1}{c}{$\pi_{ij}$}\\

\hline
1 & 0.1 & 0.4 & 0.2 & 0.8 \\
2 & 0.2 & 0.6 & 0.25 & 0.75\\
3 & 0.3 & 0.7 & 0.3 & 0.7\\
4 & 0.3 & 0.5  &0.375 & 0.625\\
5 & 0.35 & 0.65  & 0.35 & 0.65\\
6 & 0.4 & 0.6 & 0.4 & 0.6 \\
7 & 0.6 &  0.6  &0.5 & 0.5\\
8 & 0.6 & 0.4 & 0.6 & 0.4 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:markovchapara}
\end{table}

You should provide a standalone minimal example that allows testing solutions instantly. People are rarely motivated to find out all necessary stuff themselves.

For a deeper understanding of the below code please take a look at the respective manuals of the involved packages.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs,multirow}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[!ht]
    \caption{Table caption}
    \label{tab:markovchapara}
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{
      c
      S[table-format=1.2]
      S[table-format=1.2]
      S[table-format=1.3]
      S[table-format=1.3]
    }\toprule
      \multirow{2}{*}[-0.5ex]{Channel $j$} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Transition prob.} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Equilibrium distr.} \\ \cmidrule(lr){2-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-5}
        & {$p_j$} & {$q_j$} & {$r_j$}  & {$s_j$} \\ \midrule
      1 & 0.1     & 0.4     & 0.2      & 0.8     \\
      2 & 0.2     & 0.6     & 0.25     & 0.75    \\
      3 & 0.3     & 0.7     & 0.3      & 0.7     \\
      4 & 0.3     & 0.5     & 0.375    & 0.625   \\
      5 & 0.35    & 0.65    & 0.35     & 0.65    \\
      6 & 0.4     & 0.6     & 0.4      & 0.6     \\
      7 & 0.6     & 0.6     & 0.5      & 0.5     \\
      8 & 0.6     & 0.4     & 0.6      & 0.4     \\ \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

The siunitx package is very good for alignment of numbers in table cells.

thanks for the reply! it worked, but how to make sure that 'p' and 'q' split the column width of 'transition probability' equally? Thanks
