# Table on its own page

A last minute decision is going to require some heavy lifting. I was originally just going to show a snapshot of my regression output in my paper (in a small table) but I feel as though my professor would prefer to see each and every coefficient. So, I would like to create a large table that gets its own page and spans both columns. It's the only way i'll be able to fit all of the information anyway. Here's the table I have so far that needs to be moved to its own page and made much larger:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2}

\usepackage{amsmath,geometry,siunitx,booktabs, tabularx}
\newcolumntype{C}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}

\newcommand\mC[1]{\multicolumn{1}{C@{}}{#1}} % handy shortcut macro

\sisetup{group-separator={,}, group-minimum-digits=4}
\usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{font=small, labelfont=bf, singlelinecheck=no}

\usepackage{%booktabs,
makecell, %tabularx
}
\setcellgapes{2pt}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\raggedbottom
%\usepackage{amsmath,geometry}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage[referable]{threeparttablex}
%\usepackage{siunitx}
%\usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption}
\usepackage{upquote}
\usepackage{balance}
%\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} % Times Roman math font
%\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{footmisc}
%\captionsetup[table]{font=small,
%                     labelfont=bf,
%                     singlelinecheck=no}

%for borders on figures

\restylefloat{figure}

I understand if you would prefer that I showed you my best effort first, but rather than messing up my paper I thought I would see if anybody would give it a try first.

This is for an idea of the amount of information I need to present:

UPDATE @MICO (let me know if you'd like an MWE as well) I think i'll use one table for parameter estimates and the other for comparing goodness of fit measures. Could you help me with this encroaching issue? FYI I simply copy and pasted the table right after the other one and then removed the * symbol from table

EDIT FOR MICO:

I was using textwidth, switching to column width looks better, but doesnt look like itll fit the third equation:

• For the second table (the unstarred one), are you maybe using \textwidth instead of \columnwidth as the width of the tabularx environment? – Mico May 6 '18 at 0:30

• Change \begin{table} and \end{table} to \begin{table*} and \end{table*}. This will ensure that table occupies both columns and that it'll show up at the top of the next page.
• Assuming you'll continue to use a tabularx environment, and assuming you'll want it to take up the full width of the text block (i.e., both columns), change the first argument of \begin{tabularx} from \columnwidth to \textwidth.
