R^2 is a measure of fit by least-squares, so not appropriate to logistic regression.

An F-test is not really appropriate either, unless there is evidence of over-dispersion and a quasi-likelihood is acceptable. You can that from the command line, using anova.glm.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help a beginner - having trouble getting an
R squared output from logistic regression in splus 6.2 student version.
I get Deviance Residuals, Min 1Q Median 3Q Max, Coefficients, Value Std.
Error,  t value, intercepts, null deviance, Residual deviance, degrees
of freedom, missing values and fisher score iterations BUT NO R squared
or F test figures using the long format, no matter how I change the
dialog box.
