I have the following table, which is too wide for the page. Now I want to fit this table into this set page. Where shall I modify here? I tried to change {@{\extracolsep{5pt}}lcccc} into {@{\extracolsep{\fill}}ccccc} but it made no sense.

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You will not be able to fit this particular table into the available space while keeping the text size readable unless you are willing to add some linebreaks, for example in the header rows as well as in the "F Statistic" row. – leandriis Sep 05 '20 at 14:09

  • Changing @{\extracolsep{5pt}} to @{\extracolsep{\fill}} only makes sense when used with a tabular* environment. – Mico Sep 05 '20 at 20:22

With linebreaks in the header columns, some \multicolumn commands in the header part to remove repeated information and a new row for "df", as well as horizontal lines from the booktabs package:

With use of the threeparttablex (for table notes) and siunitx (for S columns) packages ... and small modification of your table:

Here's a "hybrid" siunitx/tabular*-based solution. The overall width is set to \textwidth, and the formatting of the numbers in the four data columns is governed by the S column type, allowing most numbers to be aligned on their respective decimal markers.
