Summary of Fit for Generalized Linear Models

For generalized linear models, the Summary of Fit table, as illustrated by Figure 39.12, includes the following:

Mean of Response: is the sample mean, ${\overline{y}}$ , of the response variable.
SCALE: is the constant scale parameter specified in the method dialog or a value of 1.0 for maximum-likelihood estimation for Poisson or binomial distributions.
SCALE (MLE): is the maximum-likelihood estimate of the scale parameter for normal, gamma, and inverse Gaussian distributions.
SCALE (Deviance): is the scale parameter estimated by the mean error deviance.
SCALE (Pearson): is the scale parameter estimated by the mean Pearson $\chi^2$ .
Deviance: is the error deviance.
Deviance/DF: is the mean error deviance, the error deviance divided by its associated degrees of freedom.
Pearson ChiSq: is the Pearson $\chi^2$ statistic.
Pearson ChiSq / DF: is the mean Pearson $\chi^2$ , the Pearson $\chi^2$ divided by its associated degrees of freedom.

When the scale parameter is a constant specified in the method dialog, or when the response has a Poisson or binomial distribution, the table also contains the scaled deviance and the scaled Pearson $\chi^2$ :

Scaled Dev: is the error deviance divided by the dispersion parameter.
Scaled ChiSq: is the Pearson $\chi^2$ divided by the dispersion parameter.
