First, modern compositional\u0000datasets, for example in microbiome research, display traits such as\u0000high-dimensionality and sparsity that are poorly modelled with traditional\u0000approaches. Second, assessing -- in an unbiased way -- how summary statistics\u0000of a composition (e.g., racial diversity) affect a response variable is not\u0000straightforward. In this work, we propose a framework based on hypothetical\u0000data perturbations that addresses both issues. Unlike existing methods for\u0000compositional data, we do not transform the data and instead use perturbations\u0000to define interpretable statistical functionals on the compositions themselves,\u0000which we call average perturbation effects. These average perturbation effects,\u0000which can be employed in many applications, naturally account for confounding\u0000that biases frequently used marginal dependence analyses. We show how average\u0000perturbation effects can be estimated efficiently by deriving a\u0000perturbation-dependent reparametrization and applying semiparametric estimation\u0000techniques. We analyze the proposed estimators empirically on simulated data\u0000and demonstrate advantages over existing techniques on US census and microbiome\u0000data.
