Deviance and Chi-squared goodness-of-fit test of the null hypothesis that poisson variance is appropriate to model the conditional dispersion of the data, given a particular model.

obj

A model object of class glm (with family=poisson).

A 2x2 data frame with rows representing the different types of statistics (Deviance and Chi-squared) and columns representing the test statistic and p-value.
