I am fairly new to this myself, but I had a similar error and found that it is due to a type casting issue. I was trying to concatenate rather than take the difference but I think the principle is the same here. I provided a similar answer on another question so I hope that is OK.
In essence you need to use a different data type cast, in my case I needed str not float, I suspect yours is the same so my suggested solution is. I am sorry I cannot test it before suggesting but I am unclear from your example what you were doing.
return diff(str(a[slice1])-str(a[slice2]), n-1, axis=axis)
Please see my example code below for the fix to my code, the change occurs on the third to last line. The code is to produce a basic random forest model.
import scipy
import math
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn import preprocessing, metrics, cross_validation
Data = pd.read_csv("Free_Energy_exp.csv", sep=",")
Data = Data.fillna(Data.mean()) # replace the NA values with the mean of the descriptor
header = Data.columns.values # Ues the column headers as the descriptor labels
Data.head()
test_name = "Test.csv"
npArray = np.array(Data)
print header.shape
npheader = np.array(header[1:-1])
print("Array shape X = %d, Y = %d " % (npArray.shape))
datax, datay = npArray.shape
names = npArray[:,0]
X = npArray[:,1:-1].astype(float)
y = npArray[:,-1] .astype(float)
X = preprocessing.scale(X)
XTrain, XTest, yTrain, yTest = cross_validation.train_test_split(X,y, random_state=0)
# Predictions results initialised
RFpredictions = []
RF = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators = 10, max_features = 5, max_depth = 5, random_state=0)
RF.fit(XTrain, yTrain) # Train the model
print("Training R2 = %5.2f" % RF.score(XTrain,yTrain))
RFpreds = RF.predict(XTest)
with open(test_name,'a') as fpred :
lenpredictions = len(RFpreds)
lentrue = yTest.shape[0]
if lenpredictions == lentrue :
fpred.write("Names/Label,, Prediction Random Forest,, True Value,\n")
for i in range(0,lenpredictions) :
fpred.write(RFpreds[i]+",,"+yTest[i]+",\n")
else :
print "ERROR - names, prediction and true value array size mismatch."
This leads to an error of;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "min_example.py", line 40, in <module>
fpred.write(RFpreds[i]+",,"+yTest[i]+",\n")
TypeError: ufunc 'add' did not contain a loop with signature matching types dtype('S32') dtype('S32') dtype('S32')
The solution is to make each variable a str() type on the third to last line then write to file. No other changes to then code have been made from the above.

These examples are from a larger code so I hope the examples are clear enough.
