Existing methodology has been developed primarily for outco mes that lie in Euclidean spaces. We introduce here a general framework fo r causal inference when outcomes reside in general geodesic metric spaces\ , where we draw on a novel geodesic calculus that facilitates scalar multi plication for geodesics and the quantification of treatment effects throug h the concept of geodesic average treatment effect. Using ideas from Fréc het regression\, we obtain a doubly robust estimation of the geodesic aver age treatment effect and results on consistency and rates of convergence f or the proposed estimators. We also develop an intrinsic uncertainty quant ification framework for the treatment effect based on Fréchet objective f unctions. The proposed framework is illustrated through simulations and re al data applications\, including network-valued outcomes from New York Cit y taxi trips to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic\, and compositi onal data on U.S. state-level energy sources to study the effect of coal m ining. \nA seminar tea will be held at 2:45 p.m. in University Office Plaz a\, Room 240.
