Exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) is a set of graphic tools for determining statistical data features and which interpolation method is appropriate for the data. With it, you can explore the distribution of the data, look for global and local outliers, look for global trends, examine spatial autocorrelation, and understand the correlation between multiple datasets. The views in exploratory spatial data analysis are interactive with ArcMap. Data selected with these tools will also be selected in ArcMap and in all the other exploratory tools.
