There are only relatively few confidence coefficients and levels available for distribution-free confidence intervals and tests for the median based on the sign statistic. This problem can be overcome by interpolating confidence intervals or by studentizing the median by an estimate of its standard error. Such methods are discussed and then compared via simulation.
