A good start might be:
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2011, 13, 10437–10448
This paper is about hybrid-models (mixing CG and AA). But they discuss 'boltzmann inversion' and 'force matching', which are both methods to obtain CG-potentials. Since they use small molecules it focusses on nonbonded interactions, but one can probably transfer the methods to bonded interactions.

the distance distribution should be given by the Boltzmann factor of the
potential energy function between the beads, assigning V(r)=0 for the most
probable distance in your histogram. that's what you get when you take a
molecule in vacuum and for instance you compare the dihedral distribution
with the dihedral potential, the distribution is just exp[-U(theta)/RT],
except maybe for an additive constant.

you should be aware that the distribution may change appreciably depending
on the environment, so this approach may be tricky: you may include
implicit solvent effects on your bonded parameters and then you would end
up with a forcefield that counts twice the solvent effects on the internal
structure if you add explicit solvent in your model system.

I hope it helps.
