When are transaction has multiple inputs and multiple outputs, and at least two output amounts are identical in amount, it is not knowable with certainty the input source of the funds.

Example: If there were two inputs that were larger then the identical output amounts, that the certainty of the source of the outputs is 0.5.

We want to automate this calculation.

It should also be noted that change outputs can be linked with 100% certainty based on the amount values.

So far I have cracked this https://testnet.dcrdata.org/tx/2efe5eed1ec0f8c16d8a97453c06092608818ea057f03e14f6d6f2b5e3b67173 on paper and managed to link all outputs to input(s). I am in the process of automating this.
