In this study, we use the SWIFT/BAT AGN sample, which has received extensive multiwavelength follow-up analysis as a result of the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS), to develop a diagnostic for nuclear obscuration by examining the relationship between the line-of-sight column densities (N_{\rm{H}}), the 2-10 keV-to-12\,\rm{\mu m} luminosity ratio, and...
