I suggest that you use the P-values from the full-sample fit. Do know that proportion correctly classified is an improper scoring rule, i.e., it can easily be optimized by a model that in most other ways is inferior, especially by a model that is very poorly calibrated. One can add a significant

I would like to say, 'on the contrary,' but I'm not contradicting Eric and the others' comments RE: "you don't calculate r^2 with insufficient data." If the number of observations equals the number of terms in the (regression) model you do have a perfect fit, with no df, etc.  This data is, nonet

In short, you don't. If the number of terms in the model equals the number of observations you have much bigger problems than not being able to compute adjusted R^2. It should always be the case that the number of observations exceed the number of terms in the model otherwise you cannot calculate
