Statistical Deviance

Statistical deviance is a quantity whose expected values can be used for statistical hypothesis testing. It is defined as:
D(y,\theta) = -2 \log p(\theta|y)
As a function of \theta with y treated as fixed, it is -2 times the log-likelihood. In the framework of the generalized linear model, if \theta is the true parameter, D(y,\theta) follows a chi-squared distribution.
