Factorial ANOVA is used to examine the impact of multiple independent variables on the outcome variable. It allows the identification of the main effects of each independent variable and their interaction effects. Multivariate ANOVA is used when analyzing multiple dependent variables while controlling for the effects of multiple independent variables. One-way ANOVA is used to compare the means of three or more groups on a single independent variable. Simple ANOVA is not a commonly used term.
