### Pseudo R squared formula for GLMs

I found a formula for pseudo $R^2$ in the book Extending the Linear Model with R, Julian J. Faraway (p. 59). $$1-\frac{\text{ResidualDeviance}}{\text{NullDeviance}}$$. Is this a common formula for ...

I have recently encountered the remark that if a logit model's pseudo $R^2$ is lower than $0.5$ the result is completely worthless because a coin toss is a better model. Is this interpretation correct?...
