I am getting an error in the tablenotes.

This is my table: 

% Table generated by Excel2LaTeX from sheet 'BEKK'
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{BEKK estimates: Full Period}
\begin{center}
    \begin{threeparttable}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\toprule

\midrule
\multicolumn{1}{l}{$\omega_{1}$} & 0.0086** & 10.4233 \\

      \bottomrule
\end{tabular}%
\begin{tablenotes}
Notes: Double asterisks (**) represent significance at the 1\% level.
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
\end{center}
\label{tab:bekk1}%
\end{table}%

I have all the following packages: 

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{threeparttable}

\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{multicol}

\usepackage{longtable}

I don't really know threeparttable well, but it appears that tablenotes is a list type environment, and you therefore need one or more \items in it. Hence, use

\begin{tablenotes}
\item Notes: Double asterisks (**) represent significance at the 1\% level.
\end{tablenotes}

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{threeparttable}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption{BEKK estimates: Full Period}
\begin{center}
    \begin{threeparttable}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\toprule
Variables & Coefficient & T-Statistic \\
\midrule
\multicolumn{1}{l}{$\omega_{1}$} & 0.0086** & 10.4233 \\
\multicolumn{1}{l}{$\omega_{2}$} & 0.0014 & 0.7898 \\
\multicolumn{1}{l}{$\omega_{3}$} & -0.0012 & -0.3242 \\
\multicolumn{1}{l}{$\omega_{4}$} & 0.0124** & 4.6625 \\
\multicolumn{1}{l}{$\omega_{5}$} & 0.0149 **& 2.8992 \\

  • What might be the problem that I still get the message "unrecognised command" when putting the cursor over \begin\end{tablenotes}? I included an \item command and the threeparttable package as well. – Lucas Feb 26 '15 at 17:47
  • @Lucas In what context? Is it TeXstudio telling you this? Just because TeXstudio is unaware of the existence of the tablenotes environment doesn't mean that it doesn't work. If you compile the document does the process finish without errors, and do you get a PDF? If so, nothing is wrong of course. – Torbjørn T. Feb 26 '15 at 19:35
  • Yes it does compile and I do get a pdf as I want, but I just learned to be suspicious about error messages, warnings and other stuff because correcting afterwards can be quite tough. So, also I do not get any message in the Log I would like the red marking of the syntax \begin{tablenotes} \end{tablenotes} to disappear. TeXStudio tells me when I move the cursor above this marking that the command is not recognized. How can I make TeXStudio recognize it? – Lucas Feb 26 '15 at 22:53
  • @Lucas Please ask a new question about that, if you cannot find another post where it has been answered already, I don't know and comments aren't really the place for it. (No one will see it.) – Torbjørn T. Feb 26 '15 at 22:57
