Hot spot analysis

[Stephaniejohnson2]

I'm trying to perform a hot spot analysis on road kill point data and I am not sure how to do this. I know there are many tools in the Spatial Statistic Tools and also the Spatial Analysis tools, but not quite sure which tool to use. I just want to determine the clusters or hot spots of the points for road kill.

For Spatial Statistics, I would use the Hot Spot Analysis tool.  For Spatial Analyst, you could possibly look at the Density tools and the interpolation tools to create raster outputs.
