Hi!

I am working on the Logistic Regression using R. My R script is as follows 


ONS <- read.csv("ONS.csv",header = TRUE)

ONS.glm <- glm(Y ~ Age1+Age2+Sex+Education+Profession+TimeInJob+ TimeInCurrentJob+OwnResidence+Dependents+ApplIncome+FamilyInco+IIR+FOIR+YearsAtBank+SavingsAccount+CurrentAccount, family = binomial(link = logit), data=ONS)

summary(ONS.glm)


OUTPUT (RESULT) is as follows -

Deviance Residuals: 
    Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max  
-1.7888  -0.6910  -0.3220  -0.2179   3.1608  

Coefficients:

(Dispersion parameter for binomial family taken to be 1)

    Null deviance: 39300  on 42499  degrees of freedom
Residual deviance: 32534  on 42483  degrees of freedom
AIC: 32568

____________________________________________________________

Question No - (1)

What does this means?

Deviance Residuals: 
    Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max  
-1.7888  -0.6910  -0.3220  -0.2179   3.1608


Question No - (2)

What is the significance of these codes?

Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1 


Question No - (3)

What does this means?

Null deviance: 39300  on 42499  degrees of freedom
Residual deviance: 32534  on 42483  degrees of freedom


And this is the last question 

Question No - (4)

To test Ho : All regression coefficients are ZERO, I need to use Likelihood Ratio Test (G) and the related p value. When I use minitab, I get value of G and related p, but using R language, how do I get value of G and p value?

I am sincerely sorry for raising these many questions? But I am sure there will be many like me who will also be immensely benefited by the replies, I may get pertaining to these questions.


Thanking you all in advance,

With warm regards
