I want to create the following table

Can someone help me because I have no much experience with Latex. What I have got is the following

documentclass{standalone}

usepackage{tikz}

usepackage{PTSansNarrow}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

begin{document}

    begin{table}[ht]

      centering

      begin{tabular}{|c|c|}

        Discrete & Continuous \

        Discrete Paramater Markov chain & Discrete Paramater Markov process \

        hline \

        Continuous Paramater Markov chain & Continuous Paramater Markov process \

        hline \

      end{tabular}

      caption{Markov processes classified into four basic types}label{tab2}

    end{table}

end{document}

The following should provide you with a complete foundation:

• caption to format the table captions;




• General layout of the 2D structure

documentclass{article}



usepackage{caption,makecell,graphicx}



captionsetup[table]{

  labelfont = sc,

  labelsep = period,

  textfont = bf

}



begin{document}



begin{table}

  centering

  caption{Markov processes classified into four basic types}

  begin{tabular}{ c | c | c | c | }

    multicolumn{2}{c}{} & multicolumn{2}{c}{State space} \

    cline{3-4}

    multicolumn{2}{c}{} & multicolumn{1}{c}{Discrete} & multicolumn{1}{c}{Continuous} \

    cline{3-4}

    raisebox{-normalbaselineskip}[0pt][0pt]{makecell{Nature of \ parameter}} & 

      Discrete & makecell{Discrete parameter \ Markov chain} & makecell{Discrete parameter \ Markov process} \

    cline{3-4}

    &

      Continuous & makecell{Continuous parameter \ Markov chain} & makecell{Continuous parameter \ Markov process} \

    cline{3-4}

  end{tabular}

end{table}



end{document}

Like Werner's answer but without raisebox and with multirows.

I've also used setlengthextrarowheight{2pt} for better vertical spacing.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{caption,makecell}

captionsetup[table]{

  labelfont = sc,

  labelsep = period,

  textfont = bf

}

usepackage{multirow}



begin{document}



begin{table}

  centeringsetlengthextrarowheight{2pt}

  caption{Markov processes classified into four basic types}

  begin{tabular}{ c | c | c | c | }

    multicolumn{2}{c}{} & multicolumn{2}{c}{State space} \

    cline{3-4}

    multicolumn{2}{c}{} & multicolumn{1}{c}{Discrete} & multicolumn{1}{c}{Continuous} \

    cline{3-4}

    multirow{4}{*}{makecell{Nature of\ parameter}} & 

      multirow{2}{*}{Discrete} & Discrete parameter  & Discrete parameter  \[-2pt]

    & &  Markov chain &  Markov process \

    cline{3-4}

    & multirow{2}{*}{Continuous} & Continuous parameter  & Continuous parameter  \[-2pt]

        &  &  Markov chain &  Markov process \

    cline{3-4}

  end{tabular}

end{table}



end{document}

Here your table:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{color}

usepackage{multirow}



begin{document}



begin{table}

centering

caption{table}

label{table}

begin{tabular}{ccc|c|}

                                                          &                                                                                                     & multicolumn{2}{c}{State space}                                                                                                                                                                                  \ 

cline{3-4}

                                                          &                                                                                                     & multicolumn{1}{c}{textcolor[rgb]{0.224,0.2,0.094}{textcolor[rgb]{0.188,0.2,0.212}{Discrete}}}      & multicolumn{1}{c}{textcolor[rgb]{0.224,0.2,0.094}{textcolor[rgb]{0.188,0.2,0.212}{Continuous}}}       \
