Various methods for “Studentizing” the sample median are com-pared on the basis of a Monte Carlo study. Several of the methods do rather poorly while two, the bootstrap and the standardized length of a distribution free confidence interval, behave accept-ably acrors a wide range of sample sizes and several distributions of varying tail length. These two methods seem to agree closely with the distribution free confidence intervals and moreover, un-like these intervals, the methods can be extended to a method of accurate inference for λ1 regreasion.
