Any suggestions to get rid of the EXTRA space table latex?

Some suggestions and comments:

  • Do please clean up the preamble thoroughly. Absolutely nothing good can come from such a conflicted mess. Sorry to have to use such harsh words, but there's simply no adequate euphemism that might cover up the situation.

  • To make the table take up less horizontal space, you must allow line breaks in the long header cells of columns 3 and 4. You can do this either manually or with the help of the tabularx environment and the X column type. In the code below, I've chosen the tabularx route, setting the overall width to 0.8textwidth.

  • I'd use mathit rather than textit. That way, the parentheses will get rendered in upright shape and TeX will insert a bit of whitespace after the commas.

  • You're not using the machinery of the threeparttable package correctly. Indeed, your use of a tablenotes environment accomplishes nothing at all except to create code clutter. I suggest doing away with the tablenotes wrapper and using a threeparttable environment to encase the caption, the tabularx environment, and the subsequent notes. That way, width of the notes will be constrained to the width of the tabularx environment.

  • I would do away with the hline and cline instructions and, in their stead, employ the line-drawing macros of the booktabs package: toprule, midrule, addlinespace, and bottomrule.

I will not comment on the packages issues, review the comments by other people above. For the extra width of columns, you can use makecell{} to split the cell into two rows.
