[Tex/LaTex] Table out of margin

marginssiunitxtables

I created this table using siunitx package since values must to be represented in scientific notation. Unfortunately the table goes out of margin. How can I fix the issue?

The table fits in the margins, without need of setting \small and of reducing too much \tabcolsep with the following code. Note the

table-format=1.4e-1

key, which states precisely the space you need. This means:

one digit for the integer part
four decimal digits
the sign for the exponent part
one digit for the exponent

Your table-format=1.4e06 reserved six digits for the exponent.

To be honest, the table width is 413.00468pt, while the \textwidth is 412.56499pt, so the difference is .44pt, less than the \hfuzz value of 0.5pt (0.18mm).

You were using \tmark[a] and you should use \tnote{a}, instead. You need to end the tabular environment before starting the tablenotes environment:

\documentclass[12pt,final]{article}  
\usepackage{threeparttable}  
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{bm}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htbp]  
\centering  
\begin{threeparttable}  
  \caption{Friendship Network Groups: Tie Strength\tnote{a} Comparison}  
  {\scriptsize 
  \setlength\tabcolsep{4pt} 
  \begin{tabular}{@{}p{.1\textwidth}*{6}{p{.09\textwidth}}@{}}
  \toprule  
  \multirow{2}{*}{\textbf{Network}} & \textbf{Mean} & $\displaystyle\sum{w_e}$ 
    & $\boldsymbol{Sd}$ & $\boldsymbol n$ & $\boldsymbol u$ & \textbf{Median}\\\  
  & $\hat{w}_{e_{ij}}$ & & & & \\  
  \midrule  
  $\boldsymbol{g_f}$ & 4.24 & 16590 & 1.90 & 580 & 3910 & 4 \\[1.0em]  
  $\boldsymbol{g_{fS}}$ & 4.34 & 4954 & 1.77 & 156 & 1151 & 4 \\[1.0em]  
  $\boldsymbol{g_{fM}}$ & 4.24 & 8525 & 1.95 & 418 & 1986 & 5 \\[1.0em]  
  \bottomrule   
\end{tabular}   
\begin{tablenotes}  
\item[a] Here is estimated tie strength as the value $w_e$ given by $i$ of the edge $ij$ through a likert scale.
\end{tablenotes}  
}  
\end{threeparttable}  
\end{table}  

\end{document}

Not directly related, but \scriptsize doesn't have arguments; also notice that I used \boldsymbol (from the bm package) to get boldfaced math symbols. I suppressed a4 and psfig from the list of class options, since they are not valid (perhaps you meant a4paper?). I also increases the width of the columns to prevent overfull boxes; to compensate, I locally reduced \tabcolsep.

Also, since your entries (at least the ones from the example) don't span more than one line, perhaps you can use l columns instead of p{...} ones:

\documentclass[12pt,final]{article}  
\usepackage{threeparttable}  
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{bm}

\begin{document}

  & $\hat{w}_{e_{ij}}$ & & & & \\  
  \midrule  
  $\boldsymbol{g_f}$ & 4.24 & 16590 & 1.90 & 580 & 3910 & 4 \\[1.0em]

  $\boldsymbol{g_{fM}}$ & 4.24 & 8525 & 1.95 & 418 & 1986 & 5 \\[1.0em]  
  \bottomrule   
\end{tabular}   
\begin{tablenotes}

[Tex/LaTex] table out of margin: any suggestion

As one option, you can use adjustbox package and provide max width as 1.1\textwidth. Then the table is restricted to that width only if it is wider than 1.1\textwidth. Also use center option to center that table.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}   %% just for demo
\usepackage{showframe}   %% just for demo
\begin{document}
\kant[1]
\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{ \textit{Title}. Some comments.}
\begin{adjustbox}{max width=1.1\textwidth,center}
\begin{tabular}{llllllll}
\hline
Parameter    & bbbbbb  & cccccc & dddddd & eeeee  & fffff  & gggggg & hhhhh  \\ \hline
Parameter 1  & 111111  & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 \\
Parameter 2  & 0.0     & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    \\
Parameter 3  & 0.0     & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    \\
Parameter 4  & 444444  & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 \\
Parameter ...& .....   & .....  & .....  & .....  & .....  & .....  & .....  \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{adjustbox}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Since your table is not wider than 1.1\textwidth, it is not resized.

Another option is to use \makebox

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}   %% just for demo
\usepackage{showframe}   %% just for demo
\begin{document}
\kant[1]
\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{ \textit{Title}. Some comments.}
\makebox[\textwidth][c]{%
\begin{tabular}{llllllll}
\hline
Parameter    & bbbbbb  & cccccc & dddddd & eeeee  & fffff  & gggggg & hhhhh  \\ \hline
Parameter 1  & 111111  & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 & 111111 \\
Parameter 2  & 0.0     & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    \\
Parameter 3  & 0.0     & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    & 0.0    \\
Parameter 4  & 444444  & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 & 444444 \\
Parameter ...& .....   & .....  & .....  & .....  & .....  & .....  & .....  \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
}
\end{table}
\kant[2]
\end{document}
