Kindly Need Help Formatting a Table (Multi Column)
TeX - LaTeX Asked by Madhav Singh on June 18, 2021
I am a senior political science undergraduate, but a beginner to LaTeX typesetting. Please forgive me if I sound stupid.
I was formatting a table for reporting my findings from a regression analysis I conducted; I kindly need help aligning the description cells with their reported results.
For example, here is the table output I have right now:
As you can see, the cells in columns 2, 3, and 4, for instance, are not correctly aligned with the description in column 1. There is a lot of up and down skewing, which I very much desire to correct.
Here is the code I am using currently, if someone could guide me with respect to the code itself, I would really appreciate it.

I would use the dcolumn package to help align the numbers in the three data columns on their decimal markers. In addition, I'd use the caption command to typeset the caption, and I'd use a threeparttable environment to set the width of the caption to that of the tabular material.
