Increasing Water Intake in Chronic Kidney Disease: Why? Safe? Possible?

Increased water intake may slow the progression of chronic kidney disease by lowering vasopressin levels. Prior to initiating a large randomized controlled trial on the effect of increased water intake on renal decline, we conducted a six-week pilot study to examine the safety and feasibility of asking adults with chronic kidney disease to increase their water intake. We randomly assigned 29 pa...

Increasing the Reliability of Reliability Diagrams

The reliability diagram is a common diagnostic graph used to summarise and evaluate probabilistic forecasts. Its strengths lie in the ease with which it is produced and the transparency of its definition. While visually appealing, major long noted shortcomings lie in the difficulty of interpreting the graph visually; for the most part, ambiguities arise from variation in the distribution of for...
