Best Answer

your table is to wide that can be fit in text width

table can be shrink with two measures:

using the following trick

\setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
\begin{tabular*}{\linewidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} l *{8}{S} }

using font size \small

even with this you will get warnings like
```
Overfull \hbox (3.5972pt too wide) detected at line 63
```
for each table row, where are numbers in parenthesis.

these warnings are caused by use of parenthesis around of numbers. apparently they require reservation of digit's space in the definition for S column style. if you would increase table-format to -1.4 than these warnings will disappear, but table will become even wider. than you have three choices:
- further reduce font size, for example to \scriptsize (not recommended)
- use the package changepage and for table make locally text width wider (for example for \marginparwidth)
- since this warnings doesn't harm live with these warning and change the table-format only from yours 1.3 to -1.3.

consider aforementioned the mwe (in which i remove all what is not necessary for show your table) is:

which gives:

(red lines indicates text borders).

addendum: meanwhile i found the fourth possible solution for your particular case. With dirty trick is possible to compensate increased table's width when you prescribe four decimal digits, where the forth is for ). The trick is to set negative \tablcolsep:

...
    \begin{figure}
    \small
\sisetup{
    input-symbols         = (),
    table-format          = -1.4,  % <---
    table-space-text-post = ***,
    table-align-text-post = false,
    group-digits          = false
    }
    \arrayrulecolor{blue}
    \setlength\tabcolsep{-3pt} % <---
    \begin{tabular*}{\linewidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} l *{8}{S} }

...

with it with and \small font size the compilation of mwe will not complain about overfull \hbox anymore and will give the following result:

you can observe, that differences between both results are negligible.

[Tex/LaTex] Overfull \hbox (15.0pt too wide)

Please upgrade your LaTeX installation. That is one horribly old LaTeX installation
In my system (TeX Live 2014), then the only warning I get is a overfull \hbox (15.0pt too wide). 15pt is the standard size of the paragraph indentation. So you may want to use
```

\begin{tabularx}...

or

[Tex/LaTex] Table : Overfull hbox

Material in a column of type c does not get line-broken automatically. Thus, even though you've set \textwidth as the first argument of the tabular* environment, there's no guarantee that the combined width of the four columns won't, in fact, exceed \textwidth. That's what's happening in your code.

Instead of using a tabular* environment, I suggest you use a tabularx environment, with an overall width of \textwidth and with a modified form of the X column type for the final column. The specific modification used in the code below typesets the column material ragged-right while still permitting hyphenation.

Some additional suggestions:

Use the macros of the booktabs package -- specifically, \toprule, \midrule, and \bottomrule -- instead of the basic \hline instruction.
Use l instead of c as the column type for the first three columns.
Load the caption package and apply some extra mark-up to distinguish more clearly what the logical parts of the table are (caption vs. body).
