This paper describes the modified maximum likelihood estimator (MMLE) of location and scale parameters based on selected ranked set sampling (SRSS) for normal, uniform and two-parameter exponential distributions. For these distributions, the MMLE of location and scale parameters for SRSS data were compared with the estimators of location and scale parameters for simple random sample (SRS) and ranked set sample (RSS). The MMLE based on SRSS data were found to be advantageous as compared to SRS and RSS estimators for the same number of measurements. The SRSS method with errors in ranking was also described. The minimum correlation between the actual and erroneous ranking was required for MMLE of SRSS to achieve better precision than usual SRS and RSS estimators. When the wrong assumption about the underlying distribution was present, the MMLE of the population mean based on SRSS was better than the RSS estimator ofthe population mean for all the cases considered.
