The deviance R2 indicates how much variation in the response is explained by the model. The higher the R2, the better the model fits your data. The formula is:

Adjusted Deviance R2
The adjusted deviance R2 accounts for the number of predictors in your model and is useful for comparing models with different numbers of predictors. The formula is:
Notation

Description
R2
the deviance R2
p
the regression degrees of freedom
Φ
1, for binomial and Poisson models
DT
the total deviance
While the calculations for adjusted deviance R2 can produce negative values, Minitab displays zero for these cases.
Akaike Information Criterion (AIC)
Use this statistic to compare different models. The smaller AIC is, the better the model fits the data.
The log-likelihood functions are parameterized in terms of the means. The general form of the functions follow:
The general form of the individual contributions follows:
The specific form of the individual contributions depends on the model.

Test deviance R2
The test deviance R2 indicates how much of the variation
in the response of the test data set the model explains. The higher the value,
the better the model fits the test data.
Formula
The following equation gives the formula for the test deviance
R2:
where the following equation represents the error deviance:
The formula for the total deviance,
DT(Test), depends on the form of the model.
Binary logistic
where for models with an intercept term,
has the following definition:
For models without an intercept term, use the inverse of the link
function at 0. The values for the link functions in Minitab follow:
Logit link function
= 0.5.
Normit link function
= 0.5.
