Description

Hi, thanks for the great library for causal inference. I was trying to implement CausalAnalysis for the multiclass classification problem but it says "AssertionError: Multiclass classification isn't supported". Is there any alternative way so we can perform causal inference on multiclass classification problems?
Thanks.

Research direction

Start by locating the CausalAnalysis implementation and the assertion that rejects multiclass classification. Read how the current classification path represents outcomes and treatments, then determine whether an alternative supported workflow exists or whether multiclass support requires a design change. Done means documenting the supported approach or defining and validating the required behavior.
