• Best linear unbiased estimation
• Double exponential distribution
• Location and scale parameters
• Normal distribution
• Order statistics of independent and non identically distributed (inid) random variables
• Ranked set sampling

In this article, we propose a method to estimate the common location and common scale parameters of several distributions using suitably defined ranked set sampling. Efficiency comparison of the obtained estimators with some of the standard estimators is made. Illustration of the results to real life data sets is also described.
