Jun 14, 2019 at 23:14 comment added Tom Wenseleers Without having to fit your model plus an intercept only model & a fully saturated model you can also calculated the R2 from the last iteration of the IRLS algo, which is just a weighted least squares regression - see stats.stackexchange.com/questions/412580/…
Jun 14, 2019 at 23:12 comment added Tom Wenseleers The general deviance based R2, 1-residual deviance/null deviance, applies to any GLM with any family & link function. McFadden's was originally defined for logistic regression (where the log-likelihood of a saturated model=0) and in that case the above formula is correct, but the generically correct version would be 1-residual deviance/null deviance, see stats.stackexchange.com/questions/359906/…

Jan 4, 2012 at 20:47 comment added Brett Indeed. The deviance R^2 from my question is the same as McFadden's measure. My question is really about interpretation of the deviance R^2 for non-Gaussian models. With a normal link it corresponds to SSR/SST and thus has a clean and neat interpretation. Is this true of other families? Do the results depend on the link used and the characteristics of the response?
