Abstract: Abstract In order to avoid the imbalance among evaluation index in the general fuzzy clustering, using the weighted fuzzy clustering algorithm to choose the best provider under E-business. In this paper, first, the weighted of each index is curtained by AHP, and then the weight is added to the fuzzy clustering algorithm. The F-distribution of probability statistics is used to determine the best classification number, which can help choose the best classification. Finally, comprehensive value is computer by fuzzy synthetically evaluation, through which the best supplier can be selected.
