Some pointers:

  • Load the booktabs package and use the macros \toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule, and \cmidrule to generate well-spaced horizontal lines.

  • Load the dcolumn package to align the numbers in the data columns on the decimal markers.

  • Use \multicolumn{.}{.}{.} instructions to combine cells and/or change the column type for a given cell.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs,dcolumn}
\newcolumntype{d}[1]{D..{#1}}
\begin{document}
\setcounter{table}{4} % just for this example

\begin{table}
\caption{Logistic regression estimates of support for rebel groups}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ @{} l *{4}{d{3.6}} @{} } % 1 "l" column, 4 "d" columns
\toprule
& \multicolumn{2}{c}{Support I}  % combine 2 columns, use "c" column type
& \multicolumn{1}{c}{Support II} % change column type from "d" to "c"
& \multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{Support III} \\
\cmidrule(lr){2-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(l){5-5} 
& \multicolumn{1}{c}{(1)} % change column type from "d" to "c"
& \multicolumn{1}{c}{(2)}
& \multicolumn{1}{c}{(3)}
& \multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{(4)} \\
\midrule
Rebels much weaker & -0.408 && -0.524^{*} & -0.564^{*} \\
 & (0.305) & & (0.318) & (0.323) \\
\dots \\
\addlinespace
\emph{AIC} & 386.471 & 510.461 & 363.585 & 347.002\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Addendum to address the queries posted by the OP in the comments. I interpret your comments as wanting to have a header named "Support II" that spans columns 4 and 5 and wanting to get rid of the header named "Support III" placed over column 5.

If this interpretation is correct, you should (a) replace \multicolumn{1}{c}{Support II} with \multicolumn{2}{c@{}}{Support II}, (b) omit & \multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{Support III}, and (c) replace \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(l){5-5} with \cmidrule(l){4-5}, i.e., replace the two single-column-width rules with a rule that spans columns 4 and 5.

  • Thank you for helping, but if i want to divide support 2 with multi-columns (3) and (4), and delete the column support 3, i tried to copy your support 1 design to instead of support 2, but it shows mistakes happened in "\cmidrule(lr){2-3} \cmidrule(lr){4-4} \cmidrule(l){5-5} ", can you please tell me how to do it? Thanks – Field.D Dec 20 '15 at 21:48
  • @Field.D - I'm afraid I didn't understand your comment. Could you rephrase it? – Mico Dec 20 '15 at 21:51
  • Sorry, what i mean is that i want to combine "support 2" and "support 3" as one column which is similar to "support 1". – Field.D Dec 20 '15 at 21:57
  • this means "support 2" has two items which are (3) and (4), and "support 3" is deleted permanently – Field.D Dec 20 '15 at 21:59
  • Thanks!!! i did not understand "\cmidrule(lr)" before, but right now i fixed it. Thank you sooo much – Field.D Dec 20 '15 at 22:06
