Finding it difficult to create a table in Authorea

Question

I am new to LaTex and using Authorea for editing a script. When I create a table, I am getting the error. Authorea is displaying this table. However, I am unable to export it to PDF, as there is some error with the code. When I export the tex file and running it on Texmaker, I am getting the pdf. Can you help me on this error?
Sample Code:
begin{table*}
caption{label{tab:table1}Summary Table}
begin{center}
renewcommand{arraystretch}{0.7}
small
begin{tabular}{cccccc}
hline
Method & Head 1 & Head 2 & Head 3 & Head 4 & Head 5
midrule
multicolumn{6}{c}{textbf{Model: FF3F}}
midrule
multicolumn{6}{l}{textbf{alpha}}
Method A & -0.2703 & -0.00248 & 0.0490 & 0.1743 & 0.1921
Method A  & -0.2706 & -0.00215 & 0.0498 & -0.1726 & 0.1960
Method A  & -0.2706 & -0.00215 & 0.0497 & -0.1732 & 0.1948
hline
end{tabular}
end{center}
end{table*}

Your code has error, as I already told you in the my second comment below question. alpha had to be in math environment. So I suspect that your editor has nothing with your error.
See, if the following MWE (Minimal Working Example) works at you:
documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
usepackage{bm}
usepackage{booktabs}
usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption}
usepackage{siunitx}
usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}
    begin{table*}
caption{label{tab:table1}Summary Table}
    centering
    renewcommand{arraystretch}{0.8}
begin{tabular}{l   S[table-format=-1.4]
                    S[table-format=-1.5]
                    S[table-format= 1.4]
                    S[table-format=-1.4]
                    S[table-format= 1.4]
                }
    toprule
Method & {Head 1} & {Head 2} & {Head 3} & {Head} 4 & {Head} 5
    midrule
multicolumn{6}{c}{textbf{Model: FF3F}}
    midrule
multicolumn{6}{l}{$bm{alpha}$}
Method A  & -0.2703 & -0.00248 & 0.0490 &  0.1743 & 0.1921
Method A  & -0.2706 & -0.00215 & 0.0498 & -0.1726 & 0.1960
Method A  & -0.2706 & -0.00215 & 0.0497 & -0.1732 & 0.1948
    bottomrule
end{tabular}
    end{table*}
lipsumlipsum
end{document}

As you can see, I took some library in a wee bit rewrite your table code. For columns with numbers I use S column type defined in the siunitx package, then use normal font size and employ bm package for boldface math symbols.
