Randomized trial finds new significance tests for median to be nearly as powerful as t-test with minimal computation.

The aim is to develop significance tests for the population median using order statistics that are valid under broad conditions.
Derivation of significance tests based on order statistics.
Comparison of the power of the new tests with the Student t-test for small sample sizes.
Assessment of computational efficiency for practical application.
The new tests show power comparable to the Student t-test for small samples.
Minimal computational effort is required for the application of the tests.
Order statistic tests offer an effective alternative to traditional tests.

John E. Walsh (1949) studied this question.
