This video provides an outline of how it is possible to test if a treatment is randomly assigned. This is of importance because we frequently deal with non-experimental data, and random assignment is preferable since it allows researchers to estimate causal effects of treatment.

Quite excitingly (for me at least), I am about to publish a whole series of new videos on Bayesian statistics on youtube.
