[Tex/LaTex] Problem with table caption

tables

I want to create a table using TeXworks. I could do it using tabular environment, but when I put caption above the table I get an error. The code is as follows. Can anyone please help me solve this problem?

 \begin{center}

    \begin{tabular}{l l l l l l}
        {\caption{Table 1: The coeffcient of determination ($R^2$) for validation set (dataset C) obtained by applying different preprocessing techniques.}}

        {\label{Table 1}}
        \hline

 Trans & Dry & Moisture-1 & Moisture-2 & Moisture-3 & Moisture-4\\

        \hline

Raw & 0.79 & -184.32 & -100.21 &    -53.74 & -13.02\\

MSC & 0.76 & -5.82 & -4.58 & -3.02 & -1.88\\

SNV & 0.75 & -423.19 & -188.19 & -69.23 & -7.95\\

FD & 0.71 & -6.12 & -4.13 & -3.26 & -2.19\\

        \hline

    \end{tabular}
\end(center)

It is good, that the code in the question does not contain vertical lines. That makes the table more professional looking.

I do not want to comment on the remaining issues, you might want to get a good LaTeX book. The table can be set as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}% nicer horizontal lines
\usepackage{caption}% fix vertical spacing of table captions
\usepackage{siunitx}% align numbers at the decimal point

\begin{document}
\begin{table}
  \centering
  \caption{The coeffcient of determination ($R^2$) for
    validation set (dataset~C) obtained by applying different preprocessing
    techniques.}
  \label{Table 1}
  \begin{tabular}{
    l
    S[table-format=1.2]
    S[table-format=-3.2]
    S[table-format=-3.2]
    S[table-format=-2.2]
    S[table-format=-2.2]
  }
    \toprule
    Trans & {Dry}
    & {Moisture-1} & {Moisture-2} & {Moisture-3} & {Moisture-4}\\
    \midrule
    Raw & 0.79 & -184.32 & -100.21 &    -53.74 & -13.02\\
    MSC & 0.76 & -5.82 & -4.58 & -3.02 & -1.88\\
    SNV & 0.75 & -423.19 & -188.19 & -69.23 & -7.95\\
    FD & 0.71 & -6.12 & -4.13 & -3.26 & -2.19\\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Table and Figure Caption Citation Problem

After processing your document, you will receive the following warning:

LaTeX Warning: Citation `whatever' on page 1 undefined on input line 3.

which gives you a hint about the cause of the problem: you are using \cite and you should be using \ref instead (the output [?] also indicates that a citation was incorrectly expected). Simply replace:

Some text cites Table \cite{whatever}

with

Some text cites Table~\ref{whatever}

\cite is for bibliographical citations.

[Tex/LaTex] Problem with Caption of a Table

If you are not bound to the journal's policy on how to set such things, you might want to load the package caption which 'fixes' this for you. Note that the font-size of the caption is getting slightly bigger than before. Please read the manual of caption in order to see how to tweak such things. In order to change something just for the tables, it would look like \captionsetup[table]{...}. Edit: I inserted something which comes close to the default.

\documentclass{IEEEtran} 
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{font={small,sc},labelsep=colon}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h]
    \centering
    \caption {Parameters for Energy Model} 
        \footnotesize
        \begin{tabular}{ll}
