PseudoR2
Pseudo R2 Statistics
The goodness of fit of the logistic regression model can be expressed by some variants of pseudo R squared statistics, most of which being based on the deviance of the model.

Details
Cox and Snell's $R^2$ is based on the log likelihood for the model compared to the log likelihood for a baseline model. However, with categorical outcomes, it has a theoretical maximum value of less than 1, even for a "perfect" model.
Nagelkerke's $R^2$ is an adjusted version of the Cox and Snell's $R^2$ that adjusts the scale of the statistic to cover the full range from 0 to 1.
McFadden's $R^2$ is another version, based on the log-likelihood kernels for the intercept-only model and the full estimated model.
