There are interfaces for that which link GRASS to statistical software, see

Here is the course material (a bit older but much should still work):
http://mpa.fbk.eu/markus/shortcourse/index.html

See "Session 6: GRASS/R/PostgreSQL" to get an idea:
Especially "Notes 7"
  http://mpa.fbk.eu/markus/shortcourse/notes7.html
  "Predictive Habitat models - GRASS and R-stats"

In that exercise sampling is done to predict a species distribution.

Best regards ,
