Jun 1, 2015 at 21:59 comment added Vishal Anand @whuber What textbook would you suggest? Thank you so much for the help!
Jun 1, 2015 at 21:58 comment added whuber It's just like the Ordinary Kriging system but without the Lagrange multipliers. Much of the online material on kriging is awful--you have to search hard to find anything good--so it's usually better to consult one of the more reputable textbooks. The material from NKU at ceadserv1.nku.edu/longa//modules/geostats/lec/latex2html/… seems good, though.
Jun 1, 2015 at 21:53 comment added Vishal Anand @whuber That is very true. And hence I put up this question, since the Kriging tutorials ask to create a semivariogram and then construct a covariogram Page6, after which the covariance matrix is constructed. When a new point is to be interpolated(kriged), this matrix is used for finding the value at the given point. Thus, how does one calculate the $\sigma (0)$ for the covariogram computation. I could not search for any online references to this; I will be really thankful for your answer to this.

Jun 1, 2015 at 21:40 comment added whuber There is no sill: that is the entire point of using variograms instead of covariance functions. In the absence of any nugget effect or measurement error, necessarily $\gamma(0)=0$ and the variogram has the form $\gamma(h)=\rho h$ for some positive $\rho$.

Jun 1, 2015 at 21:33 comment added Vishal Anand @whuber Edited the question. I have evaluated the linear variogram (slope, nugget = $\gamma (0)$). But with the evaluated variogram, I am not able to find the sill to be used for evaluating the covariogram (mentioned in the question); as a result of which I can not find the value of $\sigma(0)$, which is the sill (it $\to \infty$ for linear semivariograms).

Jun 1, 2015 at 21:16 comment added whuber The nature of this question is not apparent. Is it about estimating the slope and nugget of the variogram, cross-validating the variogram, choosing appropriate search procedures, setting up the kriging equations, solving the kriging equations, or something else? Please edit this post to explain what you mean by "developing."
