Question

How can somene create two tables side by side in beamer? I use the following to insert one table

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{l | c | c | c | c | c}
Model & intercept & X & Y & Adjusted $R^2$ & \\
\hline \hline
Coeff & 2.229 & -0.274 & 1.221 & 38\%\\ 
t-value & 3.404 & -0.49 & 3.907  \\
GMM-t & 2.542 & -0.444 & 3.814\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

which command should I use to have two tables side by side like the aforementioned table?

Answer 1

As suggested by this blog, you can try columns environment. For example, with code like

\begin{frame}{Example}
    \begin{columns}
        \begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
            \begin{table}
            \begin{tabular}{c|c|c} 
            sid & bid & day \\ \hline \hline 
            22 & 101 & 10/10/96 \\ 
            58 & 103 & 11/12/96 \\ 
            \end{tabular}
            \caption{reserves}
            \end{table}
        \end{column}
        \begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
            \begin{table}
            \begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c} 
            sid & sname & rating & age \\ \hline \hline 
            22 & dustin & 7 & 45.0 \\ 
            31 & lubber & 8 & 55.5 \\ 
            58 & rusty & 10 & 35.0 \\
            \end{tabular}
            \caption{Sailors}
            \end{table}
        \end{column}
    \end{columns}
 \end{frame}

You can get something like below (ignoring the background image)

If your tables are narrow enough to fit side by side, you can simply place them next to each other like you would do for any normal letter.

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{l | c | c | }
Model & intercept & X \\
\hline \hline
Coeff & 2.229 & -0.274  \\ 
t-value & 3.404 & -0.49\\
GMM-t & 2.542 & -0.444 \\
\end{tabular}
\hfill
\begin{tabular}{l | c | c | }
Model & intercept & X \\
\hline \hline
Coeff & 2.229 & -0.274  \\ 
t-value & 3.404 & -0.49\\
GMM-t & 2.542 & -0.444 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
